They Come in Fives

The release date for They Come in Fives is scheduled for 2026 on PC. In this dark strategy title, you take the role of a Reaper working for Lucifer, harvesting souls while repurposing the empty physical shells into a personal army. The loop splits between investigative story quests on Earth and brutal permadeath incursions into Hell, where your squad of Agents must survive 5v5 tactical card battles to eventually seize the infernal throne.

Success depends on managing a roster of 70 recruitable Agents across distinct castes and factions, balancing the expansion of your corporate-style conspiracy on Earth with the high-stakes risk of the underworld. Unlike the narrative missions, death in the roguelite Hell runs is permanent; losing your best units means they are gone for the remainder of the attempt. This creates a genuine tension between wanting to push for power and the need to protect your built-up roster from permanent deletion. Strategists who enjoy deep deckbuilding and the pressure of permanent loss should keep an eye on this one.

Add this to your wishlist if you want a high-stakes tactical card game with a dark, conspiratorial edge.
