Master the Wave—Cards and Towers Launches Today on Steam

Real-time tower defense meets roguelike deckbuilding, created by a father-and-sons studio

[Barcelona, Spain – July 23, 2025] – The time has come to build your deck and survive the onslaught. Cards and Towers, the genre-blending roguelike from Barcelona-based FamilyDevs, is out now on Steam for PC. Players can pick it up for USD 6.99, with a limited-time 20% launch discount.

Cards and Towers combines real-time tower defense with deep deckbuilding strategy and roguelike replayability. Players draw from a collection of over 200 unlockable cards, including Towers, Units, Items, Actives, and Power Cards. Each run challenges players to defend their base by placing towers and deploying units in real time, reacting quickly to waves of enemies that grow more relentless with every round.

At the heart of the experience is a dynamic fusion system that rewards adaptation on the fly. Instead of only customizing decks between runs, players can merge two cards of the same quality mid-battle to generate a random higher-tier card with more powerful effects, adding an element of surprise to every upgrade.

The gameplay loop is designed to keep players engaged and constantly learning. Each session encourages building a deck, adapting to increasingly relentless waves of enemies, fusing and upgrading cards, and climbing the global leaderboard to prove mastery. No two sessions ever play the same, and every victory or defeat unlocks new cards, combinations, and strategies to explore.

Key Features:

• Over 200 unlockable cards across five categories

• Dynamic card fusion system that generates random upgrades mid-run

• Real-time tower defense combined with deckbuilding strategy

• Procedural card variety, relentless waves of enemies and roguelike replayability

• Global leaderboard competition

• English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Catalan language options

Whether focusing on high-synergy defensive builds that slowly grind down enemies or aggressive combinations that flood the battlefield with powerful units, Cards and Towers offers the freedom to experiment and improve over time.

FamilyDevs began developing Cards and Towers out of a shared passion for games that encourage creative thinking and strategic planning. As a small studio founded by a father and his two sons, the team has poured their hearts into every pixel and playtest.“As a family team of just three developers, we set out to create a game that mixes the thrill of real-time defense with the depth of deckbuilding strategy,” said FamilyDevs. “Cards and Towers is all about adapting, experimenting, and finding your path to survival.”

Cards and Towers is available now on Steam for players ready to master the wave, refine their strategy, and climb the ranks.
