The stars have fallen, and you are the solution. Across six fantasy realms, stars have fallen and taken physical form as powerful bosses - corrupting kingdoms, twisting factions, and reshaping the world around them. Build the ultimate army, master powerful card synergies, and decide the fate of the stars in a choice-driven deckbuilder card RPG where morality influences everything. Explore realms of knights, dwarves, elves, samurai, gothic horrors, and heaven-versus-hell conflict. Recruit heroes, units, and spells from each realm, then forge them into a powerful army built around your strategy. Every choice matters. Spare a boss and they may return as an ally. Condemn them and they may rise again as an enemy. Encounter events and missions where decisions shape your hero, transform the realms, and decide whether the world is restored, preserved, or corrupted. BUILD YOUR ULTIMATE ARMY Collect heroes, units, and spells from across the realms. Build powerful decks, recruit faction units, and create an army that matches your playstyle. MASTER ALIGNMENT SYNERGY Good, Neutral, and Evil choices do more than change the story. Match heroes and units by alignment to unlock stronger synergies and dominate the battlefield. HUNT THE FALLEN STARS Face legendary bosses born from the fallen stars. Each encounter can change the future of your hero, your army, and the realm itself. CHOOSE FRIEND OR FOE Bosses remember your actions. Spare them, earn their trust, or make them your enemy. Your choices can create allies, rivals, and lasting consequences. Bosses can change and come back more powerful. Will you create the ultimate ally or a deadly nemesis. RESHAPE SIX REALMS Journey through six distinct fantasy realms, each with its own factions, enemies, bosses, and moral conflicts. Your decisions can visibly change the world. TACTICAL OR AUTO-BATTLE Command every move in strategic card battles, or let auto-battle carry the fight allowing your hero to control your army based on the personality you give them. RANKED ASYNC PVP Challenge rival players, test your army against enemy builds, and climb the ranked ladder in asynchronous PvP battles. DAILY AND WEEKLY TOURNAMENTS Compete in varied daily and weekly tournaments, climb leaderboards, and earn rewards as you prove your strategy against other players. EVERY CHOICE HAS A VOICE Experience fully voiced story encounters, enemies, and bosses as your decisions shape the fate of the realms. BECOME GOOD, EVIL, OR SOMETHING BETWEEN Your morality shapes your hero’s appearance, powers, and path. Will you restore the light, embrace shadow, or walk the line between?
