Two teams enter, one team leaves! Everything’s fair game in the raucous deck-building battles of Meteorfall: Rustbowl Rumble. Choose a trio of warriors and try to survive a roguelike run through the most ruthless arena sport around. Between skirmishes with gobloids and mutocyclers, you’ll upgrade cards, train heroes or just rest up for the next match.

What we love: Annihilating enemies with a perfectly synergised sequence. Play Scorch to set foes ablaze, freeze them with an Icebolt, then follow up with a Battlemage Staff that does extra damage for every debuff on the target. Discovering these sorts of cool card combos is a total blast!

Quick tip: Choose crowd-pleasing feats that mesh well with your brawlers. Adding a poisonous boost to Mischief’s already envenomed Twin Daggers card makes the One Bad Apple feat a cinch to pull off – which in turn makes your attacks even more toxic!

Meet the creator: Full-time day jobs (and a nine-hour time difference) haven’t stopped California’s Eric Farraro and Barcelona-based Evgeny Viitman from bringing the world of Meteorfall to life. Rustbowl Rumble is the third game in their franchise, following Meteorfall: Journey and Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale.
