About

Aetherium Clash

Features
Read full description

Aetherium Clash is a tactical card game built around one idea: play a card to the 3×3 grid, beat the number on an adjacent enemy card, and flip it to your side. When the board fills, whoever owns more cards wins. You'll learn it in a single match and still be finding new lines a hundred matches later. Most of the game is yours alone. A STORY CAMPAIGN Fight across distinct worlds, each with its own map of encounters and a boss holding the road forward. Beat the boss, open the next world. THE GAUNTLET A roster of AI challengers, each with a real deck and a style you have to actually solve — not difficulty sliders, opponents. A COLLECTION WORTH BUILDING 110 cards across four rarities, in a painted JRPG style. Earn packs by playing, disenchant duplicates into shards, and tune decks around what you've actually got. NO POP-UP ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ENERGY TIMERS. Nothing is sold to you. There is no second currency behind a paywall and nothing runs out while you wait. No ad ever interrupts a match — the only ones in the game are optional videos you can choose to watch for extra Shards, and you can ignore them forever. AND WHEN YOU WANT A HUMAN Ranked quick match against other players, or a private duel with a friend by code or QR scan. Trade cards with other players in the marketplace. Entirely optional — the campaign and the Gauntlet never ask you to go online for a match. FEATURES • Story campaign — worlds, maps, bosses, built for solo play • The Gauntlet — AI challengers with distinct decks and personalities • 110 collectible cards across four rarities • Guardian Forces — mythological summons as showcase card art • Deck builder with sorting by power and rarity • Player marketplace — trade cards for Shards • Optional PvP — ranked quick match, or private duels by friend code / QR • Cloud sync — sign in with Apple or Google, keep your collection across devices Place.
