Dungeon Clawler
Clawing instead of crawling. In this roguelike deckbuilding game from Swiss studio Stray Fawn Studio, players don't just draw cards. No, they use an arcade-style claw machine to (hopefully) draw the right items, weapons and buffs for the challenge of each battle.
Even as Stray Fawn Studio continues to work on The Wandering Village, which has been in Early Access since September 2022 and is due to be released as a full version during the course of 2025, the Zurich-based studio launched another game, also in Early Access, on 21 November 2024. The game is called Dungeon Clawler and it's the fifth game developed by the studio. It began as a small side project for Micha Stettler, one of the studio's co-founders. Driven by a passion for roguelike games and a fascination for claw machines, which they discovered on a trip to Tokyo and its arcades, the project grew and attracted more and more interest. And so the small side project became a game in its own right, turning roguelike deckbuilding on its head by combining the elements of traditional deckbuilders with an arcade-like claw machine mechanic wrapped in a dungeon crawler.
