Every card is both cover and weapon. In your hand, they block bullets, blades and death itself. It’s a visually intense deckbuilder built on strategic play. Your cards are destructible, their position, sequence and play matter more than just the cards you pick during a run.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We see plenty of potential to build on its mechanics with new content and modes that offer even more replayability. Early Access is a good way to involve the players in the process of refining the balance, experiment with special modes, and introduce additional operatives.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for 6-12 months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version to include additional game modes and operatives, giving players more ways to experiment with the game’s mechanics.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is polished and fully playable, with 5 operatives, 200+ cards, and 200+ items. It also features adjustable procedural generation and difficulty settings.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We do not plan to increase the price of the game during or after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We’re active on our Discord server and welcome everyone to join us. We want to hear player feedback to build a game we can enjoy for a long time.”

About This Game

Play as Operatives, secret agents chosen to enforce the will of the Machine Doctrine. In this world, humanity didn’t invent technology; it was placed into our hands when the Doctrine descended in our most primitive age, propelling civilization forward and sowing the chaos that followed.


Sacrifice Cards To Defend
Cards have a unique health system, indicated by their Wheel. They can be destroyed in combat, adding a unique strategic layer to how you manage your cards.


Combat is two-sided, with each operative guarding one side. Distributing and planning your card placement for defense is critical. Additionally, attacking with a card discards it, leaving you vulnerable.


Toolkit System
Each card can be upgraded by installing unique Chassis and Wheel toolkits. Each toolkit boasts its own distinct design and effects. Utilize them to optimize your cards and experiment with different gameplay strategies.


Dynamic Loadout
Combine over 200 cards with an extensive toolkit system that you can swap anytime to adapt your strategy towards different enemies.


Intense Visual and Combat
Featuring combat with visual that can reshape how each fight plays.


Chain Mechanics
Master complex synergy chains where timing, placement, and tactical depth matter just as much as deckbuilding. Built for dynamic experimentation, not locked archetypes/builds.


5 Operatives
Each run is different. Select 2 operatives and combine their deck.
Each Operative has their own set of unique cards, designed to synergize differently when paired with a different Operative.


Evolving Challenge
Difficulty and mechanics are highly adjustable. Enemies come in varied forms and employ dynamic attack strategies.

Unlock more cards, toolkits, artifacts and mechanics as you progress.


Optimization
