Following the journey of a Panda as they set out to become a Chinese Zodiac, the world of Mystic Road’s roguelike deckbuilder Zodiac Mountain will launch for the PC via Steam next year.
Inspired by rich Asian cultural narratives, Zodiac Mountain seamlessly blends together strategic gameplay with captivating storytelling as players master the art of managing Yin & Yang hands.
Be sure to check out the teaser trailer for Zodiac Mountain below:
Zodiac Mountain Teaser
Lead developer Kevin Jiang shared the following:
“As my first indie game, I wanted to draw from my Chinese roots.
I’ve always wondered how the Zodiacs were chosen — and growing up, people often asked me why the Panda wasn’t among them. That simple question became the spark for Zodiac Mountain.
As a long-time fan of the roguelike deckbuilder genre, I wanted to bring something fresh by weaving in Chinese mythology and philosophy.
The core mechanic draws from the concept of balance—players hold a ‘Yin’ hand and a ‘Yang’ hand, and moving cards between them changes their effects when played.
We believe this system offers both flexibility and strategic depth, while also celebrating cultural stories and ideas that inspired it.”
One can wishlist Zodiac Mountain via its official Steam page.
