Command Chain is a card battler on a 3x3 grid. Place your heroes, line up your strikers, and set off chain reactions where one shot triggers the next. Stack multipliers down a lane and a single turn can go from dozens of damage into the millions. FEATURES - Chain-reaction combat. One trigger cascades across the grid, and position decides everything. - 100+ hero cards across 18 classes. Draft a hand and build a deck that fits how you play. - Merge duplicates to level heroes from Tier 1 to Tier 5 during a run. - 11 worlds, each with its own enemies, hazards, and art, from the Hollowfrost Reach to the Sunken Mire to the Dragon's Temple. - Boss fights that break the rules. The Hydra regrows severed heads. The Twin Wardens revive each other. The Fateweaver loads the dice. The Saboteur Queen swaps your units mid-fight. Read the pattern, then counter it. - Roguelike runs. Draft, upgrade, carry veterans forward, push deeper. - Endless Mode and New Game+ unlock after you clear the campaign. - Portrait or landscape, with 1x, 3x, and 5x battle speed. - Free to play and fully offline. No wifi, no forced timers. HOW IT PLAYS Strikers fire in straight lines, so where you place a card matters. A Sorcerer next to a Mage boosts the whole lane. A Tactician bends a beam around a corner into new targets. A Necromancer poisons through armor. Rangers and Gunslingers pierce dodge and shield. Every board is a new setup, so you read what is in front of you and build the biggest chain you can. CLASSES Mage, Alchemist, Sorcerer, Warlord, Cleric, Shadowknight, Mirror Knight, Bard, Monk, Ranger, Gunslinger, Pyromancer, Stormcaller, Tactician, Necromancer, Tinkerer, Martyr, Quartermaster.

AILFE
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your Fighter does the fighting. You decide who he becomes. AILFE - FIGHTER is an auto battler: an idle fighting game where you create your brawler, send him into the arena, and he handles the rest on his own. No buttons to mash — every duel is settled by what you built beforehand. THE ARENA A reserve of twelve fights that refills on its own. Every win levels your Fighter up and unlocks a random weapon, skill or pet. No two Fighters ever turn out quite alike. THE DAILY TOURNAMENT Every night a 32-Fighter bracket is drawn. Yours climbs it round by round, from 8am to 8pm. Drop by to see how far he got — miss it and he forfeits his place. CLANS Join a clan or found your own. Together you hammer a raid boss: every hit counts, and the slots you win are the real prize. ASCENSION Seen it all? Have your Fighter reborn. He starts over at level 1 and keeps power that never fades. PUPILS Refer players: your pupils show up mid-fight to lend a hand. PETS Bear, wolf, panther — they fight at your side. THREE MINUTES A DAY No grind, no timer to babysit. Start your fights, watch the brawl, your champion grows. Built for anyone who likes idle games, auto battlers and old-school arena RPGs. Free, no ads. No sign-up: you're playing in three seconds.
