New Game Mode Live in Public Beta!

Here it is! Our biggest update yet! It's only just the beggining of all the features we have planned! For now, Gauntlet Mode (v1.1) is only avaliable via public beta, as there are still some placeholder UI/images and some bugs and balancing issues may still be present.

• PROGRESSION

• In Gauntlet mode, your health is persistent throughout the campaign, so be mindful of how much HP you have at all times.

• Between battles, you will see two progression bars, the top one is the campaign progression with three areas, the bottom bar is the current area progression

• There are three areas, clear them all to win the campaign

  GAINING NEW CARDS

• Boss cards get stronger the further you progress, and their HP increases dramatically with progression

• There are two bosses in each area (character portraits), defeating a boss grants you one of their cards to add to your deck

• There are two story events (book icon) in each area, you can make choices in those events to reveal new outcomes, each choice leads to a unique card

  UPGRADES

• The Anvil & Hammer icon is the upgrade screen. Here you are given 250 Essence to spend on upgrades, such as Healing to Full HP, Increasing your HP cap, Removing cards from your deck and upgrading a card in your deck

• Each time you use an upgrade, it becomes more expensive

• Any unspent essence is kept for the next upgrade event

• Removed cards are removed for the rest of the campaign

• Cards can be upgraded (called 'promotions') any number of times, and it increases their base values until the end of the campaign

Stuff we're working on right now
