A Tense Boss Rush And High-Difficulty Card Battler
The gameplay implements a real-time action card battle system where you’ll be parrying enemies, accumulating mana and attacking via cards. By accumulating the required mana for each card, you’ll be able to activate a burst effect and attack unilaterally.
There are no play-through matches, every opponent is a boss character where both the stakes and difficulty are high!
Deck-Building, Board Game-Style
Regroup between battles by building your deck through a board game structure. Here you’ll be able to strengthen your characters, plus obtain cards and accessories from the shop to build the deck that you use in battle.
