Element Heroes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Element Heroes is a new collectible card game based around heroes with elemental powers. Summon heroes, equip items and cast spells to defeat your opponent in a one-on-one match. Play against the AI or invite a friend and challenge them in this turn-based card game anywhere, anytime. This app is currently in testing and is missing some basic features like a tutorial, and offline play. An internet connection is required due to interaction with the server for both AI and player vs. player matches. To get started, players are awarded a starter deck with enough heroes, equips and spells to play matches. Simply challenge the CPU player to start a single-player type game or ask a friend to register (invite within app not yet working) and then add them as a friend in-app, and finally challenge them to a match. Energy is required for all actions in the game, so plan ahead and save some energy for defending or casting spells when needed. Use energy to summon a hero, equip and item, cast a spell, attack or defend. Heroes and equips can only be played during the Main phase, and spells can be played nearly anytime including during attack or defend phases. If a hero attacks and is not defended against the opponent player will receive damage in the amount of the hero attack points. The game is over when either player reaches zero life.

Thanks for playing!
