❤ Tactical Card Combat

Players assemble a team of up to three Marvel superheroes, with each hero contributing an 8-card deck to a shared pool. During combat, players draw a hand from this combined deck and must carefully select which cards to play each turn. Unlike traditional tactics games, the combat does not rely on chance or random number generation. Instead, each card has a predictable effect, allowing players to plan out devastating combos and synergies between their heroes. The limited number of card plays per turn forces tough decisions, as players must balance using powerful abilities that consume resources versus building up those resources through basic attacks. Environmental interactions are a key part of combat, with players able to trigger various hazards and traps to damage or control enemies. Knocking back foes into environmental dangers is a common tactic, creating a satisfying sense of superhero flair. While the combat arenas are relatively small, the wide variety of hero abilities, status effects, and environmental interactions provide significant depth and replayability. Experimenting with different hero combinations and card loadouts to tackle challenging encounters is a core part of the gameplay loop.

❤ Unique Hero Identities

Each playable superhero has a distinct playstyle defined by their individual card decks. For example, Captain America's shield-based defense and crowd control contrasts sharply with Blade's aggressive vampire-slaying abilities. The card-based system allows for a high degree of hero customization, with players able to upgrade and augment the cards in a hero's deck. This customization, combined with the varied hero skill sets, means there is no "optimal" team composition - players can curate their ideal trio of superheroes to suit their personal playstyle.

❤ Engaging Progression

Outside of combat, players can upgrade their heroes' cards and abilities through a progression system that provides a sense of persistent growth. Completing missions rewards resources that can be used to enhance the power and flexibility of each hero's deck. This creates an addictive loop of deploying stronger, more synergistic hero abilities in subsequent battles. The progression also extends to the player character, the Hunter, who can be customized in appearance and gradually develop relationships with the other Marvel characters. These social systems, while not the core focus, provide additional optional content that fleshes out the narrative and characters.
