I made this game all by myself. Yes, it is a real online PvP card battle game, I’ve finally managed to made it, congrats to myself :) Due to the love of traditional card battle games and to lower the learning curve, I adopted the very basic rules, and added lots of innovative and fun features and cards that I’ve fantasized. For example, a board with slots, Terrain system, Trap mechanism, and fun keywords such as Spy, Melee, Ranged, etc. I’ll keep updating new and fun stuff (lots of works are planned). If you find this game enjoyable, please share with others and leave a good review. It’s very helpful to a real indie developer. Much obliged! Talk to me and find other players on Discord: discord.gg/sURPfcegQb Shoutout for Komar, who’s helped me with Polish translation.

About

Aetherium Clash

Features
Read full description

Aetherium Clash is a tactical card game built around one idea: play a card to the 3×3 grid, beat the number on an adjacent enemy card, and flip it to your side. When the board fills, whoever owns more cards wins. You'll learn it in a single match and still be finding new lines a hundred matches later. Most of the game is yours alone. A STORY CAMPAIGN Fight across distinct worlds, each with its own map of encounters and a boss holding the road forward. Beat the boss, open the next world. THE GAUNTLET A roster of AI challengers, each with a real deck and a style you have to actually solve — not difficulty sliders, opponents. A COLLECTION WORTH BUILDING 110 cards across four rarities, in a painted JRPG style. Earn packs by playing, disenchant duplicates into shards, and tune decks around what you've actually got. NO POP-UP ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ENERGY TIMERS. Nothing is sold to you. There is no second currency behind a paywall and nothing runs out while you wait. No ad ever interrupts a match — the only ones in the game are optional videos you can choose to watch for extra Shards, and you can ignore them forever. AND WHEN YOU WANT A HUMAN Ranked quick match against other players, or a private duel with a friend by code or QR scan. Trade cards with other players in the marketplace. Entirely optional — the campaign and the Gauntlet never ask you to go online for a match. FEATURES • Story campaign — worlds, maps, bosses, built for solo play • The Gauntlet — AI challengers with distinct decks and personalities • 110 collectible cards across four rarities • Guardian Forces — mythological summons as showcase card art • Deck builder with sorting by power and rarity • Player marketplace — trade cards for Shards • Optional PvP — ranked quick match, or private duels by friend code / QR • Cloud sync — sign in with Apple or Google, keep your collection across devices Place. Flip. Conquer the grid.
