It’ll see you playing out as a squidgy hero who just so happens to find themselves in an enchanted and dangerous world. it is here where you’ll have to help this Slime beat the odds, playing hands of super-powerful cards as turn-based positional combat plays out. Your goal? To defeat and take down a bunch of baddies.
There will be much to admire about Rise of the Slime. Fancy hats will be present, pet companions can be yours, and the beautiful exotic lands you frequent will take you across fire swamps, through marshlands and across gardens; gardens populated by sexy radishes, of course.
