PS4 Draws Deck-Building Roguelike ‘Monster Slayers’ Next Week

Publisher Digerati and Nerdook Productions have announced that Monster Slayers will be releasing next week on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a PlayStation Vita release still TBD. Described as a roguelike deck-building adventure, the game was released back in 2017 on Steam and currently boasts an impressive Metacritic score of 86, which is even more amazing when you consider that Nerdook Productions is a one-man game developer.
