More than 10 unique dungeons are available with a diverse roster of character cards to earn and equip for roguelite card battles. Special “Muse Cards” can activate powerful abilities through songs, with 50 vocal tracks included in the game. Hidden card “glitches” may also be used to unleash powerful combos. Also, characters from other Inti Creates IPs will appear in the game.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
Card-en-Ciel is a deckbuilding, roguelite RPG adventure featuring over 300 characters and 50 vocal songs. Earn a chance to recruit a new ally with each victory, opening up new strategies and combos.
Cards can be used for their effects, for movement, or their Special Skills. Choosing the right mode for each card is key!
The true value of each card comes out when you combine it with other cards. On top of that, you’ll use the Muses’ song abilities, hidden card “glitches”, and even your enemies’ attacks against them to perform satisfying, full power combos!
