- Turn-based combat alongside real-time exploration, offering a unique mix of roguelike and deckbuilder.

- A visually appealing art style, with striking, colorful characters, cards and environments.
- Extensive replay value with gameplay mutators, shifting routes and hundreds of deck build variations (100 magical cards at launch!). Each playthrough of Rise of the Slime is different!
