An ink-wash campaign through the Three Kingdoms. One deck, one rider, one climb through the warlords' gauntlet. Crouching Dragon is a single-player deckbuilding roguelike. Every run starts from nothing: draft your deck, weigh elites against shops, omens against rest, and fight your way to the summit. No energy timers, no gacha, no ads - pure offline strategy. SEVEN HEROES, SEVEN ARCHETYPES Guan Yu (Strength / Exhaust), Zhou Yu (Fire & Poison), Sima Yi (Stance & Feint), Zhuge Liang (Five-Phase Orbs), Cao Cao (Command & Might), Zhang Jiao (Wardens & Reaping), Sun Shangxiang (Repeating Crossbow). Each gets its own card pool and its own way to break the game. THE THIRTY-SIX STRATAGEMS Feign Injury. Empty Fort. Chain the Ships. Meet a stratagem's conditions mid-combat and it fires once, hard, and turns the fight. It's a whole second axis to build around - and it's unique to this game. BUILT TO BE REPLAYED Ascension-style difficulty tiers unlocked by winning, a Daily Challenge on a shared seed, Endless Ascent, plus a codex and a records wall. One more run, every time. HAND-PAINTED INK ART Hundreds of hand-painted cards and hero portraits, scored with an original soundtrack of war drums and plucked strings written for this game. FULLY OFFLINE Plays with no connection at all. 8 languages including English and Simplified Chinese.An ink-wash campaign through the Three Kingdoms.
