Summon Busters is a deck-building rogue-like game where you use summoning magic to call upon a variety of characters, such as the Demon Lord, Hero, Sage, and Phoenix, to defeat the "Concepts". Choose one character out of three randomly selected every time to create your own ultimate deck list. The gameplay is simple. Press the play button, pick a character (one out of three), retire unnecessary characters, and collect lots of items to buff up your characters. Then, defeat different concepts on each stage and aim for the final stage (20 stages)! There are over 60 characters you can summon, 45 items, and 7 legendary items. Create original concept decks, such as decks that increase attack power by combining the same characters or decks that focus on nurturing specific characters. In addition, we are developing a lot of additional content! New characters, items, and more will be added as appropriate. Download Summon Busters now and build the strongest deck!

About

Mahjong Warlords

Features
Read full description

A set of mahjong tiles, one table, and a road to the capital. HOW IT PLAYS Every hand you play must break down into complete groups — pairs, runs, triplets, quads. No stragglers allowed. More melds, higher multiplier: Small, Middle and Great Hand, and above those the full fourteen-tile hand. All Simples, Little Three Dragons, Full Flush... yaku multiply one after another. Six-figure hands are real. BUILD YOUR RETINUE A warlord every three stages: Dong Zhuo taxes every tile you play, Zhang Fei forbids discarding, Yuan Shao seals an entire suit. Beat him and his old officers come over to you — one of them for free. 98 retainers, 6 charms, three different flush routes. No two runs look alike. SCOPE · 30 stages · 10 warlords · every chapter has its own art and story · Clear it and Endless opens: Qin Shi Huang, Xiang Yu, Han Xin and seven more, with the target climbing forever · Three difficulties, and a seed you can share — the same seed deals the same tiles · 14 languages CLEAN Fully offline. No network, no login, no data collected, ever. Play free up to the first warlord, then one purchase unlocks everything, permanently. No ads, no second payment.
