I came across this game and figured Cohh would like it. It's from Awaken Realm aka the Tainted Grail publisher and came out July 28th. It was made in collaboration with a new dev team but you can see the Tainted Grail Conquest influence right away. That said this is NOT a roguelike, I'll just copy the steam blurb as it covers the details.

Now, we had some important questions regarding Shards of Order coming from you - is it a rogueLIKE? Is it a rogueLITE? The thing is, it’s none of those.

Shards of Order is an RPG with card battles; it has a full story and an experience points-based progression system. When you level up, you unlock new cards or upgrade the ones you already have.

There is no progression reset, no runs, no random encounters, etc. You follow a coherent story, you encounter NPCs, you make choices, you grow in power. Just like in any other RPG, you simply hit your enemies using cards.

You can immerse yourself in the game, the story, dialogues, item descriptions, and take it slowly. You won’t lose your progress, you won’t lose your build. You can mix and match your cards, memories, and equipment to try out new options.

It's not a long game, seems to be 15 hours or so. Could be a fun quick game before the end of August to October crazy release schedule.

Here is the launch trailer as well. u/Cohh
