What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The current version already features a complete and playable core gameplay loop. We decided to launch Early Access servers to allow players to experience the game early and to collect player feedback.
This feedback will be used to guide future faction and card design directions, and may directly influence the core gameplay mechanics of the currently in-development third faction, F (FeralFrontier), as well as systems such as ranked matchmaking algorithms.

As a result, during the Early Access period, certain systems and rules may undergo significant adjustments.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access is planned to continue until May 1, 2026, depending on development progress.”

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

“The core design is still being refined.
Elements such as UI design, localization improvements, turn-based rules, card draw rules, and visual style may differ from the final release version.

We also plan to develop optional paid content in the future, including new card packs, new card designs, and enhanced replay features.
During the Early Access phase, there will be no microtransactions or only a limited amount of them, and the game will receive updates at a noticeably higher frequency than after the full release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently includes online random matchmaking, private matchmaking via invite codes, a ranked ladder system, approximately 100 unique cards (including generated units), and two factions with distinct card designs.
This does not include content from the third faction F (FeralFrontier), which is still under development.”

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

“The game price is not expected to change.
Players will be able to access the base cards of the full-release faction F (FeralFrontier) without additional purchase.

After leaving Early Access, we do not plan to increase the game’s base price. Instead, we may introduce optional in-game purchases that allow players to unlock additional cards, cosmetic items, or visual effects.”

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

“We have an official Discord community where players can freely join and provide feedback.
During Early Access, we actively collect player feedback on card balance, matchmaking experience, and future faction design directions, and use it as an important reference for ongoing design decisions and adjustments.”

About This Game

The world stage is built on a universe of diverse planets, where different factions clash for colonial rights and dominance through card and tactical matchups. The worldview varies by planet, and victory depends on your construction and decisions.

Every planet is a completely different worldview—
Medieval Fantasy, Steampunk, Magical Civilization, Technological Hegemony, Primitive Tribes...

■ Game Features

♟ Strategy Board × Card Battle

This is not a simple card matchup.

The battlefield is an 8×8 strategic board,
where every card played is a choice of position, timing, and resource management.

You can summon units, build facilities, and deploy traps,
gradually constructing your own tactical frontline.

Cards feature clear and predictable effect designs, like Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering
Board layout and positioning inherit the spatial thinking of tactical games
A dual-cost resource system brings deeper deckbuilding and decision-making space
Complex tactics like frontline, defense, area attacks, and multi-directional selection can be freely combined

Every turn is a head-on clash of strategy and anticipation.

🃏 Custom Decks, Develop Your Own Tactical Direction

You can freely combine different combat strategies based on card effects, resource allocation, and board interaction.

The game does not preset fixed archetypes or limit standard solutions.
Every deck is a player's personal choice within the framework of rules.

Differences in construction will directly affect your rhythm, resource utilization, and tactical trade-offs during the matchup.

The card craft system allows you to dismantle unwanted cards to produce almost any card in the game;
the pack design balances beginner experience and long-term fairness:

Before the collection reaches 30 cards, drawn cards will not repeat
Legendary cards feature a pity mechanism, guaranteed within a maximum of 41 draws

🌐 Real-time Online Battles / Ranked Challenges

Engage in real-time battles with explorers from all over the world.

You need to precisely configure the board, anticipate opponent moves, and manage resources effectively
to gain an advantage in every clash.

The following will be added in the future:

Seasonal ranked system
Specialized tactical routes
Faction specialization and environmental bonus gameplay

The battle situation will change, but strategic depth will only continue to stack.

■ A Work Born for Strategy Players

If you love:

Hearthstone
Magic: The Gathering
Tactical games (such as Fire Emblem, Into the Breach)
Deep deckbuilding, resource management, and long-term strategic thinking

Then this strategy game, blending Cards × Board × Interstellar Exploration,
will bring you a brand-new experience different from existing works.
