Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:

Led by dice. Ruled by cards

What is Culdcept?

It is a game where you move across the board, claim territories, and build strategies using cards.

Use summons and magic to fight your way to victory.

Story

Bavrashka, a continent created by the gods.

At its center lies the Royal Cept Academy, an insitute where Cepters are trained to wield the power of stone tablets known as “Culds,” fragments of the Culdcept.

Kamur, who transferred to the Cept Academy, has his abilities recognized and is selected for the Royal Cepter Guard Regiment.

Amid battles that threaten the continent, the power of a Cepter begins to awaken.

Game System

Move with dice and battle with cards—

This is a board game where victory hangs on a mix of luck and strategy.

Experience a more accessible evolution of Culdcept that stays true to the series’ charm.​

Card

Over 400 cards with all-new visuals.

Combine all kinds of cards to win through the power of your own tactics.​

      • Creature Cards – These are cards that allow you to summon creatures. They can help you gain more domains, or take over enemy domains. There are five elements, and each card has different abilities.
      • Item Cards – Item cards support your creatures in battle. And that’s not to say they simply help creatures attack and defend better. Using the special abilities of items can help you snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
      • Spell Cards – Spell cards can help you build momentum, or put your opponents in a difficult position. Use them right and you can even turn the tides of the game in the blink of an eye. Suffice to say, these cards are essential to winning.

Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Naoki Hamaguchi has revealed that Square Enix plans to “share more updates on the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Project than ever before.” This news comes directly after the reveal of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, which is set to launch on June 3, 2026.

The third and unannounced title in the Final Fantasy VII remake project is likely set to be revealed soon, based on rumors and Hamaguchi’s message. The first two games launched exclusively for PlayStation 5, but it is unclear at this time if that will remain the case for the third game with this new multiplatform approach. 

This news comes just after the launch of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S. In our 4.5/5 review, we wrote, “Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is an absolute joy to play on Nintendo Switch 2. This fantastic RPG is filled with memorable characters, an amazing narrative, and an engaging combat system that’s almost impossible to put down. The game runs great and looks excellent, with performance consistent at 30 FPS. While some visuals can appear grainy due to heavy DLSS usage, it’s a small trade-off for having this wonderful game on the go.”

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, our 2024 Game of the Year, is set to launch on June 3 for Switch 2 and Xbox.
