Devolver Digital and Nerial have confirmed a release date for Card Shark on Nintendo Switch, with a free demo also now available on the Nintendo eShop.
In this tale of deception, you must fleece and cheat your way to the top of 18th Century French society.
The stylishly illustrated adventure game is all about playing your cards right, and, moving from table to table, you will need to build your repertoire of card manipulation techniques. You will need to be careful, though, as if your cheating is exposed you will lose your ill-gotten gains and end up gambling with your life.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features as below:
- Learn And Master New Tricks: Cheat your way to the top of 18th-century French society. Master deceptions using card marking, false shuffles, deck switching, false deals, and more! Use your ill-gotten gains to buy your way into the closed world of high-stakes tables.
- Uncover a Conspiracy: … as you climb from local card parlors to the King’s table. A word of advice: Don’t get caught. Your fellow gamblers do not take kindly to cheats…
- Travel Through 18th Century France: Discover small towns, remote mansions, and luxurious lounges imagined by Nerial team (Reigns), game creator Arnaud De Bock (Pikuniku). Immerse yourself in the ornate visual artwork of Nicolai Troshinsky. Have your every move accompanied by an original score from Andrea Boccadoro as interpreted by an orchestra.
