10 MP every turn. Play your strongest cards from turn one, with no waiting. No matchmaking queues, no turn timers. Free to play. ◆ Go all out from turn one "The early game of a card game is honestly boring." That is the problem this game was built to solve. You get 10 MP every single turn. There is nothing to build up. Your strongest cards are playable from the very first turn. ◆ Easy to learn, deep to play The rules are simple enough to pick up in a few minutes. Even so, every turn asks something of you: where to place your units, when to spend your Overdrive. "Very easy to pick up, yet the gameplay has real depth." That is from a player review. ◆ Play at your own pace You never wait for an opponent to be found. There is no turn timer either, so you can think as long as you like. On your commute, or for a few minutes before bed, whenever you feel like it. A card game that never rushes you. ◆ Main modes [Battle] Pick an opponent and fight. Win to earn Diamonds and rewards. [Ranked Match] Take on decks published by players around the world. Climb from Bronze all the way up. You battle their deck with AI in control, so there is never a wait. [Online Match] Play other people in real time. Choose the dedicated ruleset built for longer games (40 HP, 40-card decks), or the standard rules. [Draft] Pick one card at a time from sets of three, build a deck on the spot, and take on up to 10 matches. Cards you do not own are fair game, so it comes down to skill, not collection size. [Deck Builder] Build your own 30 cards out of 160. Search by name, effect or cost to find exactly what you want. [Card Packs] Open one at a time, ten at once, or by watching an ad. The animation when SR or better shows up is worth seeing. [Match History] Replay your last 30 battles exactly as they happened. Both players' moves play back in order, so you can see why you won or lost. ◆ All you need to remember - Rush ... can attack the turn it is played - Guard ... your opponent cannot attack anything else - Activate ... units on the field can use an ability every turn - Overdrive ... your trump card: power up a unit and attack on the spot Everything else is written on the cards themselves. ◆ Free to play, all the way Every card can be earned by playing. Paying is optional, for people who want to collect faster or skip ads. This is a card game made by a solo developer. Bug reports and requests are welcome from "Contact" inside the app. I read them all and fix what I can.
