Mahokenshi Opens Its Samurai Houses

Mahokenshi, a unique blend of adventure, deck-building, and deep hex-grid strategy, under development by Game Source Studio, is set to open the doors to its Samurai Houses. Debuting an open, community-led development approach ahead of its Early Access launch in January 2022, Mahokenshi has open its doors.

Giving players the freedom to play and experience all that Mahokenshi has to offer, the Early Access Preview – complete with a new trailer – comes loaded with a raft of major improvements that the community has sought. From revamped combat visual effects, a progression system, weather-themed maps, and new missions to complete, this update (with accompanying video) not only showcases the rapid improvements being made to the game, but also a team eagerly implementing player feedback.

Mahokenshi is a potent combination of deck building and hex-grid strategy that intertwines the deep tactical play of card games, with the strategic turn-based thinking of board games. As Mahokenshi – a Samurai Mage from one of the Celestial Isles’ four houses – players will need to protect the Kingdom against an encroaching corruption. Through strategy, positioning and tactics, they will need to utilize over 300 lovingly illustrated cards to explore the world, vanquish powerful demons and banish the evil that plagues the land.

Brimming with a challenge, Mahokenshi’s new development approach invites players to feedback their experiences, participate in development discussions and explore a vibrant world filled with quests, cards, and formidable foes, all to restore peace to the Celestial Isles one hex at a time.
