Events Announcement

Covyne Entertainment is excited to announce that Dolven, our highly anticipated tactical card game, is heading to major gaming events! This October, we will be showcasing the demo at PAXAus Melbourne and Gamescom Singapore, giving fans an exclusive first-hand experience of the immersive world of Dolven. The full demo will also be available on Steam on October 30, 2024.
After an intensive closed beta phase, the development team has been hard at work polishing the game’s aesthetics, expanding the card library, fixing bugs, and refining playability. The feedback from our closed beta has been invaluable, and we’re thrilled to have received overwhelmingly positive reactions from several streamers who have already played the game live. This exposure has led to a spike in Steam wishlists, reflecting growing excitement for Dolven.
Looking ahead, we are on track to release the full version of Dolven in mid-2025. We can’t wait to bring this unique blend of strategic card play and immersive combat to a global audience.
Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to follow Dolven on Steam to get notified as soon as the demo goes live!

À propos de la démo

Dolven is a narrative-driven tactical RPG where combat fuses party-based skills with poker-style card combos and deckbuilding.

In this dark fantasy world, you command a band of mercenaries against the Dungeon Master who rules each cursed dungeon. Battles unfold on a grid-based battlefield where positioning, timing, and strategy are as important as the hand of fate you hold.

The demo introduces you to the rich narrative and deep story, setting the stage for the journey that lies ahead.

A First-of-Its-Kind Combat System

At the heart of Dolven lies a unique blend of classic RPG combat and poker-inspired deckbuilding.
Your mercenaries wield swords, bows, and spells through traditional RPG abilities with additional buffs coming from the cards in your hand.

Form poker-style combinations called a 'Rune Combo' such as pairs, straights, and flushes to earn extra mana with which to unlock more cards, empowering your party to turn the tide of battle. Every duel is more than a clash of steel—it’s a contest against the Dungeon Master himself, with you as his opponent, that's two dungeon masters facing off. 

Deckbuilding & Strategy

Players construct a deck made up of two main card types:

• Mercenary Cards – Summon warriors, rogues, and mages to the battlefield.

• Spell Cards – Cast magical effects, buffs, debuffs, or alter the battlefield itself.

Each card belongs to one of three archetypes—Strength (Red), Dexterity (Green), or Intelligence (Blue).
Arrange Mercenary cards on the Pillars to form hands like pairs, flushes, or straight flushes. The in-game Compendium lists every possible combo and the rewards they bring.

As you battle through Dolven’s maze of dungeons, you’ll customize your deck and collect gear to prepare for deadlier enemies ahead.

The opening cut scenes explain the narrative of Dolven in a few minutes.
