Witch the Showdown opens its doors to PC players on November 19, offering a taste of its parry-action deckbuilding mechanics before the full experience arrives. This Early Access release lets you test the combat rhythm and card synergy early, which matters for fans of timing-based strategy games who want to see if the loop holds up. We get to see how the developers balance risk and reward in a single-player near-future fantasy setting.
Parry-action deckbuilder expands to consoles in 2027
The game comes from developers CitalesGames and publisher Perp Games. It runs on PC via Steam for the Early Access phase, with plans to expand to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later. The full version is scheduled for a 2027 launch across all three platforms. This staggered release allows the team to refine the game based on player feedback before the wider market sees it.
The Early Access build currently features eight enemy types, 31 unique cards, and two playable characters. The developers state that the full version will double the enemy count to 16 and expand the card pool to 60. You will also gain access to a third playable character in the complete release. These numbers give a clear picture of the content depth available now versus what is promised for the future.
Perp Games describes the game as a title where precision is everything, rewarding mastery and perfect timing. A Steam demo is available to play right now, letting you try the core mechanics before buying. The Early Access version serves as a testing ground for the full 2027 release. We can track how the content scales from the current two characters to the final three.
