Dungeon Clawler from Stray Fawn Studio (The Wandering Village) was just announced with Native Linux support and a demo available, and this blending of a rogue-like deckbuilder with a claw machine is going to absolutely annihilate my free time.

What ever will indie developers come up with next? How am I still getting surprised by all these genre fusions? Dungeon Clawler has such a fun idea that I absolutely love it already from the demo. 

More about it: "To improve his fortune in gambling, the evil dungeon lord has chopped off your left rabbit paw and wears it as a charm. Replacing your lost limb with a (t)rusty claw you fight your way through the dungeon to reclaim what's yours! Dungeon Clawler mixes deck building with a dash of rogue-like mechanics and most importantly: a claw machine."

And like a claw machine in an amusement arcade, ultimately quite a frustrating experience. Not so keen here, after trying it.

Just the trailer made me wonder if that would be the case. All deck builders are luck-based, but visually representing that luck like this must be extra frustrating!

I found it entertaining, like chucking coins into a machine at an arcade only with no money loss. Here it's also not so random, and fairer since the claw actually works. You can fill up the machine with liquid too, quite amusing.
