Free-to-play browser game Card Hunter is making the leap to Steam later this month, and joining it will be the Expedition to the Sky Citadel expansion which adds the Cardotron 2000 Game Master in a nod to System Shock 2.
The ”card play, deck building, tactical combat” and fantasy RPG will be a standalone free-to-play client. The expansion includes co-op multiplayer. There was ”no excuse not to embrace” the Steam community.
We’re assured the Cardotron 2000 is ”guaranteed 100% bug free and will definitely, never ever, lose its mind and raise an army of mutants and rebellious robots,” and that ‘assurance’ comes from Irrational Games co-founder Jonathan Chey who helped design the original Shodan AI.
”The Steam ecosystem is called home by millions of gamers across the globe, and we felt the time was right to launch a client version of the game to connect with that audience,” explains Chey. “Card Hunter is now a mature, balanced game with a huge amount of free-to-play and optional add-on content, and we have implemented the fan-anticipated co-op mode.”
“We felt that with the completion of Expedition to the Sky Citadel, the most challenging and fun expansion to date, there was no excuse not to embrace Steam and its community.”
The new Cardotron 2000 had this to add: ”If you value that meat you call a body, you will download this game and witness my true glory.”
Card Hunter releases on PC through Steam later in July.
