❤ Assemble a Party of Unique Heroes

Players assemble a party of three unique hero characters, each with their own customizable deck of cards representing different combat abilities, spells, and skills. These hero classes range from melee-focused warriors to long-range archers and magic-wielding mages, encouraging players to experiment with diverse team compositions.

❤ Manage Cards and Resources in Tactical Battles

During combat encounters, players must carefully manage their hand of cards, deciding which ones to play for their effects and which to discard to generate the "Willpower" resource. Wisely using Willpower to activate abilities and reposition characters is crucial, as players work to synergize their heroes' skills and overcome the challenges posed by the hex-based battlefield.

❤ Leverage Terrain and Positioning

The hex grid map introduces terrain elements like obstacles and environmental hazards that impact line of sight and movement. Savvy players can flank enemies, block line of sight, and create favorable situations for their abilities by thoughtfully positioning their party. Ranged and magic-based attacks have limited range but can bypass obstacles, while melee fighters excel at up-close brawling.

❤ Customize and Refine Decks

As characters level up, players can unlock new hero classes, upgrade existing cards, and acquire equipment that further enhances their decks. The ability to "hone" equipment to remove unwanted cards provides an additional layer of refinement to the deck-building meta, allowing players to fine-tune their heroes' capabilities.

❤ Manage Resources and Make Tough Choices

Outside of combat, players must manage resources like food, morale, and Willpower to sustain their journey. Scavenging the overworld map for supplies, making tough choices during events, and carefully planning rest stops introduce meaningful risk/reward decisions that can impact the difficulty of subsequent battles.

❤ Embrace Emergent Gameplay

The combination of randomized map layouts, enemy encounters, and loot drops ensures that each run feels unique. Players must adapt their strategies to the cards and equipment they acquire, leading to emergent gameplay where no two runs are exactly alike.
