You control one of four unique heroes, like Achilles or Sun Wukong, each with a distinctive deck and style. The game combines tactical movement, line-of-sight rules, and hand management for fast, skill-based battles. Combat is resolved by comparing attack and defense cards without dice luck, with each card's unique effects and timing leading to interesting decisions. This creates a varied, dynamic gameplay experience with high replayability.
Who Is This Game For?
The game targets enthusiasts of asymmetrical fighting games aged 9 and up. With about 40 minutes playtime, it suits players who enjoy quick tactical duels with strategic depth. Prior experience with hand management and tactical movement is helpful, but the rules remain accessible, making it suitable for ambitious newcomers.
How It Works
Each player chooses a hero with a unique card deck reflecting their abilities. Using Action Points, you move your miniature across a point-to-point map and manage your hand to play cards for attack, defense, or special effects. Combat resolves through card play conflict resolution without randomness, complemented by line-of-sight for ranged attacks. Team-based mechanics allow up to four players to compete.
