The Cascadier by Enchanted Arcade

What would be your description of your game?

Balatro meets Peggle! The Cascadier is a story-driven, roguelite deck-builder where your cards power enchanted coins dropped into magical coin-pusher arcade machines. Each machine plays like a living pinball board packed with secrets, hidden paths, and mechanical surprises. Build clever decks to charge your coins with explosive abilities, watch them trigger brilliant VFX and wild chain reactions, and push for colossal scores run after run. Along the way, you’ll encounter gods, supernatural beings, and mystical entities — all vying for your devotion in a universe ruled by Fortuna, the Goddess of Fortune, and her brother Theodan.

How did development start? (Were there any key inspirations or ideas that drove you?)

Mike and Clarke worked together at Natural Motion and became friends with a shared love of gaming and a dream of starting their own Gaming Studio. We both became obsessed with Balatro and felt it was the start of a new and exciting genre – one we wanted to be a big part of!
