Why on Deck

Child of Light is a fairytale RPG with hand-drawn watercolour art, and honestly the Deck’s screen makes it look like you’re holding an illustrated storybook. The turn-based combat is perfect for handheld since there’s no twitch reflexes required, just thoughtful timing on the active-time battle system. It’s around 12 hours long, which is that sweet spot where you can finish it in a week of evening sessions. The local co-op even works if someone wants to control Igniculus the firefly while you play Aurora.
