<p>Indie publisher Digerati will release <strong>The Magister</strong>, a new card-battler murder mystery RPG, on Nintendo Switch early next year.</p>
<p>The game’s being developed by Nerdook (<a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/monster_slayers">Monster Slayers</a>, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/reverse_crawl">Reverse Crawl</a>, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/vertical_drop_heroes_hd">Vertical Drop Heroes</a>) and has players building and customising their card decks to fight in battles. You’ll need to gather clues and discover motives along the way as you investigate a murder and attempt to unmask the culprit.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of key features and a selection of screenshots</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Players take the role of a Magister – agents assigned to enforce the rule of law in the far-flung provinces of the Empire. Dispatched to the remote village of Silverhurst, you must investigate the grim demise of a fellow Magister. You have 14 days to solve the case.</p>
<p><strong>Key features</strong><br /><strong>–</strong> <strong>Randomly generated murder-mystery:</strong> A walkthrough won’t help here! The events, clues, motives, and murderer change with every playthrough. Only YOU can identify the guilty suspect.<br />– <strong>Tactical card-based encounters:</strong> Your combat and negotiation skills are determined by the cards in your deck. Use a vast array of cards, such as ‘Heartstopper’, ‘Poison Slash’, ‘Weak Joke’, and ‘Long Talk’.<br />– <strong>Pacify enemies for a peaceful outcome:</strong> Use ‘Tactical Diplomacy’ as an alternative to fighting and calm foes with your conversation cards to reduce their Rage level to 0.<br />– <strong>Choose your Magister:</strong> Different Magisters come with their own specialities and flaws. From cunning alcoholic to intelligent insomniac – every variation defines a different adventure.<br />– <strong>Recruit a human ally or furry companion:</strong> If needed, a Mercenary, Spy, or Sage can be recruited to assist in your investigation. You can also befriend one of the local cats or dogs to fight by your side in battles.<br />– <strong>Set in a captivating fantasy world:</strong> You have 14 days to wander Silverhurst and befriend or intimidate its inhabitants as you race against time to unmask the murderer.</p>

<p>If you’re liking the sound of this one, keep an eye out for it launching on the eShop early 2021. Nerdook’s previous game, deck-building RPG Monster Slayers, has a very respectable Metacritic rating of 86 on PC so this could well be another winner.</p>
