Loop Hero is Devolver Digital's newest hit. In this card-based RPG you create the world around the main character, giving the game an interesting gameplay twist.
Fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card games can get going with Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of the Battle Royale!! As the title already states, this game focuses on the intense rush duel rules, a twist on the classic Yu-Gi-Oh! gameplay.
