❤ Innovative Card Battle System
The game's card battle system sets it apart from traditional deckbuilding games. Players control a squad of nine heroes, each with their own unique 12-card deck. This squad-based approach adds a new layer of strategy, as players must carefully synergize the abilities and playstyles of their heroes to overcome challenging enemies. One standout mechanic allows players to convert any card in a hero's deck into their class-specific "base" card, ensuring access to a useful card and mitigating the impact of poor draw RNG. The diverse array of skills, from devastating attacks to defensive shields, creates a wide range of potential combinations and strategies.
❤ Customization and Progression
The game offers extensive customization and progression options. Players can level up their heroes, unlocking new cards and powerful cybernetic augments that enhance their capabilities. The ability to choose level-up perks after gaining enough experience points further empowers players to tailor their heroes to their preferred playstyle. The deckbuilding system allows players to curate their 12-card decks to suit the demands of each encounter, encouraging experimentation and the discovery of powerful synergies.
❤ Challenging and Varied Encounters
The game's roguelike structure ensures that each run presents a unique set of challenges. Diverse enemy types, with their own motivations and abilities, force players to adapt their strategies on the fly. The multi-stage boss battles test players' tactical prowess as they navigate different phases and enemy compositions. The emphasis on scouting enemies before battle further enhances the strategic depth, as players can tailor their deck selection to counter specific threats.
❤ Immersive Cyberpunk Setting
The game's striking cyberpunk aesthetic immerses players in a captivating futuristic world. The visually stunning environments, neon-lit cityscapes, and diverse cast of characters are complemented by an atmospheric soundtrack and evocative storytelling elements.
