How it feels

A strategic card battle where you adapt to enemy decks turn by turn, building synergy through quick-learned rules and permanent upgrades.

What players say

Players describe it as a roguelike deckbuilder based on Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad. They say it demands heavy calculation since both players' full hands are visible, and opinions split on whether that depth is rewarding or exhausting. Some find the art ugly and disjointed, while others praise the strategic additions like hero powers and card upgrades.
