I’d never heard of Runespell: Overture until today, and now I’m dying to play it. This amazing looking puzzle RPG might draw comparisons to Puzzle Quest, but the combat is quite different. You and the monsters you are fighting each have a tableau of solitaire cards. You move the cards between stacks to build poker hands which serve as attacks while your opponent does the same. You also have an arsenal of spells and allies you collect as the game progresses to supplement your poker playing prowess. Runespell: Overture is due out on Steam for PC and Mac in July from developer Mystic Box. In the meantime, check out this trailer featuring the combat system.
