Witch the Showdown is not your average deck builder – this game rewards quick reactions just as much as big brain thinking.
Coming to the PS5 in 2027, the anime-style “parry action deck builder” is being billed as a boss rush release with an emphasis on precision.
Here’s what the press release says:

“Precision is everything in Witch the Showdown, the new parry-action deckbuilder from Citales Games and Perp Games. This single-player near-future fantasy battler rewards mastery and perfect timing.”
While its high difficulty is touted as a selling point here, the blurb says there’s “room for all ability levels, from Rookie through to Master”.
Your goal is to build a deck of buffs and then trigger them by parrying the attacks of your enemies. Think of it like a mixture of Sekiro and Slay the Spire and you should be roughly on the right path.
A demo is available now on Steam so you can give it a try before its full release next year, but there’s no word on that test coming to Sony’s console just yet.
