Indie Japanese developer MY NEW GAMES has announced Dystopia VS Distortion, a stylish game that mixes deck-building mechanics with music gear.
Instead of building a traditional card deck filled with attacks and spells, you construct and rearrange a virtual pedalboard using guitar effects like Overdrive, Distortion, Compressor, Delay, Chorus, and Booster pedals.
Much like a real guitar setup, the placement of each pedal changes how the signal behaves. In gameplay terms, that translates into different attack patterns, damage multipliers, hit counts, defensive buffs, and status effects. Swapping one pedal’s position can completely change the outcome of a fight, turning what initially looks like a stylish gimmick into something genuinely strategic.
The combat itself moves at a pretty fast pace. From the footage shown so far, battles involve quickly adjusting your board mid-fight while dealing with waves of mechanical enemies.
There’s this satisfying rhythm to it where optimization becomes part of the action rather than something you only do between encounters. You’re constantly experimenting and trying to discover stronger combinations as enemies become more aggressive.
You can wishlist Dystopia VS Distortion over on PC via Steam.
One detail that has also caught attention is the game’s current use of generative AI assets for some backgrounds, enemy designs, and card illustrations. The developers have openly acknowledged this, stating that those assets are temporary and planned to be replaced with fully original artwork before launch.
