Fight Deck PC Demo & Production Update

Hey Challengers,
As mentioned previously, I initially planned to update the Fight Deck mod on Tabletop Simulator. But after dealing with its clunky UI and constant issues, I decided to take a different route:
I started building a full standalone PC version of Fight Deck.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been developing this solo. The game is still in a very early alpha stage, but the core gameplay is already playable.
Here are some early screenshots:
Closed Playtest
I’m opening a limited closed playtest for this early demo build.
If you’re interested in trying it out and providing feedback, please fill out the form here to sign up for playtesting.
Keep in mind that the build is a very early version, so bugs and clarity issues are expected. Your feedback will directly shape the direction of the PC version.
Production Update
On the production side, there have been some delays due to pricing renegotiations with the manufacturer and file adjustments.
That said, the timeline remains under control. We are moving toward full-scale manufacturing within the next 2 weeks.
Pledge Manager Fee Charge
Most of you have completed the Pledge Manager survey a while ago, but shipping fees (and any additional purchases) have not yet been charged.
We will proceed with charging these fees on March 31st. If you run into any issues, please send a DM here or an email to [email protected].
That's all for now. More updates coming soon.

General Update, New Contents, and Estimated Timeline
2 months ago
– Sat, Jan 17, 2026 at 12:34:37 PM
Hey Challengers,
Happy belated New Year!
Over the past couple of months, we have been deep in playtesting, iteration, and manufacturing preparation.
General Gameplay Update
After many hours of internal testing, plus your feedback, one thing became clear: some older mechanics were too counterintuitive. They added mental load, slowed onboarding, and caused memory fatigue for new players.
This update directly addresses that.
- The number of Dynamic Effects has been significantly reduced across all fighters, while preserving skill expression and depth.
-
Signature Moves have been fully redesigned into a unique card draw mechanic for each fighter, making them clearer, stronger, and more thematic.
-
Wake-Up Round and Combo Round have been lightly reworked to streamline rules and improve flow without changing their intent.
The goal is simple: cleaner rules, faster understanding, and smoother gameplay without sacrificing what makes Fight Deck action-packed and skill-driven.
All detailed changes will be available in the updated rulebook later this month. The Tabletop Simulator mod will also be updated to reflect these changes.
Advanced Bonus Mode - New PVP Content
To add more skill expression and dynamic depth for experienced players, we are introducing a free built-in expansion included in all standard and deluxe boxes: Advanced Bonus Mode.
This is an optional game mode that brings Distance, Range, Movement, and Bonus Effects into PVP play. Players add a Bonus Deck to the standard game, create a Distance Line using the unique card back design, change Distance by making Movements, and enhance existing fighting moves with Bonus Effects and EX Bonus Effects.
To support Advanced Bonus Mode, each box will receive the following content for free:
Standard Box:
-
All 12 Common Bonus Cards
-
2 Signature Bonus Cards of the selected fighters
Deluxe Box:
- All 12 Common Bonus Cards
- All 8 Signature Bonus Cards
The full rules for Advanced Bonus Mode will be released later this month as part of a rulebook update. Parts of this content will also be added to the Tabletop Simulator mod.
Bonus Truck Stage - New PVE Content
Arcade Mode would not live up to its name without a stage where you beat up a random vehicle. Because of that, the Fight Deck Arcade Mode expansion is getting a Bonus Truck Stage, letting players relive those classic arcade moments.
During your Solo or Co-op Campaign in Arcade Mode, you may randomly encounter a Bonus Truck Stage, where you get to completely demolish Delta Elite's military truck.
The truck has four statuses: Pristine, Dented, Wrecked, and Obliterated. Each status grants a Player Combo Round. By dealing enough damage, you push the truck into the next status. Every cleared status rewards you with currency, which can be spent on additional Player Augments during the campaign.
Delta Elite might want to call a cab home after this one.
The full Arcade Mode rules will be released later this month alongside other rulebook updates. Parts of Arcade Mode will also be added to the Tabletop Simulator mod.
Estimated Timeline
We are heading into 2026 at full speed, with manufacturing and shipping timelines now firmly locked in.
Current plan:
• January to early February: File review and final modifications.
• February: Tooling and sampling.
• March to late April: Full manufacturing of all products.
• Late April and onward: Shipping and distribution.
This timeline is slightly later than originally planned, and we truly appreciate your patience as we finalize everything properly. This extra time has gone directly into rule refinement, testing, and content improvements that make Fight Deck a stronger game overall.
We expect everything to stay on track from here, with no more than a few weeks of potential variance.
That’s all for now. As mentioned, all rulebooks and the Tabletop Simulator mod will be updated later this month as file review wraps up. Keep an eye out for the next Kickstarter update if you want a preview of the new content.

Delta Elite + Move Variants Preview!

Fighter Preview - Delta Elite
Hey Challengers,
Here comes the fighter who's tactical, precise, and never wastes a shot: Delta Elite.
Delta Elite’s kit revolves around timed fire and reload mechanics. It's all about firing big damage shots, sustaining the pressure during weapon down time, and reload at the right time for the maximum impact.
On top of that, her Stance Boost effect lets her rapidly build Speed when her moves share the same stance. Be careful when she plays a Jumping Punch. She might just follow up with a blazing-fast 6-speed Breaching Dive.
She rewards players who love tempo control, deck awareness, and layered mind games. If you like thinking two turns ahead and making every action count, Delta Elite is for you.
Move Variants Preview
Here’s a look at what’s included in the Move Variants Expansion, and spoiler alert: they’re devastating in the right hands.
Move Variants offer alternate versions of core fighter moves. You can swap these into your deck in place of standard moves to build a unique move set that reflects your strategy and playstyle.
Beyond their striking art, each Move Variant introduces new mechanics (currently exclusive to this expansion) that open up fresh strategies and power plays.
Having trouble finding a big damage combo finisher with Dragon Fighter? Now you can Extract Hydra Slam straight from your Meter Bar and finish off your opponent in style. Problem solved!
And if you haven’t picked up the expansion yet, this is your last chance to grab a copy of Move Variants with the limited edition card: Wyvern Nova.
That’s all for now! I’m currently finalizing the manufacturing documents, so expect more production updates and content reveals in the next few updates.
Thanks for sticking with us!
