Double deckbuilder bundle for Border Pioneer and Stray Path shuffles onto Steam today!

Pick a card, any card and try your hand at these tactical titles

Bristol,  United Kingdom — February 6, 2025 | Yogscast Games and Gamersky have united to bring card game connoisseurs a fantastic bundle of two new strategy titles. Launching today, Border Pioneer and Stray Path offer players two different – but equally challenging – approaches to card-based gameplay that see them play god or fight for their lives.

Border Pioneer 

Developed by indie studio Yahzj Games, Border Pioneer places the survival of a pixel-art colony in the player’s almost god-like hands. They must carefully balance the needs of the town with the ever-present threat of foes at the border, managing resources and maintaining the kingdom’s favour. Each month brings with it the question of whether to expend limited materials expanding the border, farming for resources or defending their peaceful hamlet.

The game combines beloved city-building and tower defence mechanics with powerful card-based gameplay reminiscent of classic board games like Catan. As players progress, they can choose from themed booster packs to unlock new buildings and units, purchase cards and materials from the travelling merchant, and even acquire spell cards that deal direct damage to enemies from the player’s hand. 

Stray Path

Leave the god-like overview behind and head straight to the front line of combat in Stray Path, a roguelike deckbuilder created by chx games. Selecting one of a variety of characters, from a well-travelled cat to a burly beast tamer, is only one of many choices players will have to make as they venture deeper into the foreboding forest. 

Far from a simple exchange of cards, Stray Path gives players the option to escape deadly encounters if they have their wits about them. Using the game’s FreeCell mechanics, players can strategically move cards around the board to uncover secret chests, hidden items, or, perhaps most importantly, an escape route. But they’ll need to choose wisely if they want to make it out alive.

“Gamersky have an enviable eye for spotting brilliant games, so we’re delighted to be working with them on bringing two of their home-grown games to a global audience,” says Simon Byron, Managing Director at Yogscast Games. “The demos for both games have gone down really well, with players spending significantly longer time enjoying them than the Steam average, so we’re really looking forward to getting the full versions out there for everyone to enjoy. The launch offer is also really compelling, so there’s never been a better time to check out two brilliantly original games made in China.”

Both titles are available independently on the Stray Path and Border Pioneer Steam pages today, with a 10 percent launch discount on each! However, for the first couple of weeks, players can enjoy a further 20% discount on both titles.

Gameplay Updates

Dead by Daylight will also be adding some new thematic gameplay elements to this edition of 2v8 to help welcome Resident Evil to the Mode.

The Nemesis and The Mastermind’s Powers in Dead by Daylight revolve around their ability to infect and weaken Survivors, The Nemesis with the T-Virus, The Mastermind using Uroboros. Should both The Nemesis and The Mastermind be chosen as Killers in a 2v8 Trial (matching), a single unified antidote becomes the default Item in Supply Crates, capable of curing either infection.

A staple of the Resident Evil franchise, Herbs have also been adapted into a unique gameplay mechanic, exclusive to this iteration 2v8.

At the start of a Trial (matching), Green and Yellow Herbs will randomly spawn around the Map, with Green Herbs healing 1 Survivor Health State and Yellow Herbs healing 1 Hook State. To even the playing field, Killers will of course be able to permanently destroy any Herb they come across, getting a brief movement speed increase in the process.

Finally, in a bid to reduce Killer queue time, this iteration of 2v8 will also add two Survivor Bots to every lobby.

Expanding Evil

In the world of Dead by Daylight few crossovers have generated more buzz among players than Resident Evil entering The Fog with two Chapters, a slew of classic characters, and an ever-expanding Collection of Outfits.

With nearly 30 years of games to draw from, the series’ heroes and villains have no shortage of iconic looks, and on Feb. 10, six more will become available. Kicking back to his original 1999 debut in the series, The Nemesis will receive the Nemesis Origin Outfit, while The Mastermind, Albert Wesker gets the New Dawn Outfit from his appearance in the recent Resident Evil 4 remake. On the Survivor side, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, and Rebecca Chambers will each see a new classic look added to their wardrobes.

2v8 Game Mode featuring Resident Evil will be available in Dead by Daylight from Feb.10 to Feb. 25, 2025.
