Every January 2020 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

10. A Long Way Down

Release Date: Jan 16th

Platforms: PC

This title showcases an emerging trend on the indie scene, taking the foundations of a deck-building video game, then mashing it up with a second genre.

In this particular case, the developers have taken the niche genre and combined it with an RPG structure.

Your player is trapped in a labyrinth run by an evil mastermind, in order to explore and (eventually) escape, the gamer must prebuild a deck with different outcomes that will advance them in different ways.

For fans of Slay The Spire and Darkest Dungeon, this should appeal.
