Today Headup Games announced the release date for another Xbox One title. The Steampunk RPG Trulon: The Shadow Engine is going to be released on February 24th and will feature a unique card combat system that combines traditional deck management with random elements. Its tactics are intuitively activated using over 50 cards in an easy to play way that makes both RPG veterans and new players feel immediately at home. Plus, it just sounds really  neat!
