What to Expect
You can play standalone one-off games or link four connected games into mini-campaigns for a rogue-like experience. Gameplay centers on card-driven battles with deck construction across sessions. Sessions are short (around 30 minutes), allowing quick standalone plays or chaining them into campaign runs.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for players aged 10 and up who enjoy card games and deck-building. It supports solo and cooperative play for up to three players, making it good for solo players and small groups. The short duration fits casual players and more experienced gamers who prefer compact campaign sequences.
How It Works
The game uses Campaign / Battle Card Driven mechanics together with Deck Construction. You can play individual games or combine four connected games into a mini-campaign that provides persistent progression. Solo / Solitaire Game and Cooperative Game modes allow different player configurations. The emphasis is on managing and evolving your deck across linked encounters.
What Makes It Special
As a stand-alone extension in the Skytear Horde line, it brings campaign-style, rogue-like linked play to card-driven battles. The mix of campaign mechanics and deck construction distinguishes it from single-session card games. It is part of the Crowdfunding: Gamefound family.
