Combat uses the innovative “Enemies Only Move When You Do” system—say goodbye to twitchy reflexes! No reaction speed required. Whether you’re a seasoned strategist or just terrible at action games, you can still enjoy the thrill of dodging and smashing!

🎮 Key Features

• ⚔️ Turn-Based Action Combat

  Enemies only respond after your move. Easy to control, yet offering the tension and satisfaction of a Soulslike—minus the pain. Timing, positioning, and clever planning are all that matter.

• 🃏 A World Made of Cards

  Characters, environments, skills—everything is a card. Interact with the entire world as cards. Break conventions, build creative strategies, and fight in a whole new way.

• 🧠 Deep Build Variety

  Launch explosive eyeball lasers. Dash through enemies with lightning lances. Punch enemies to dust with the Demon Fist...

  Mix and match hundreds of ability cards—lightning, bombs, bats, and more! Discover unexpected builds through random encounters and forge your own playstyle.

• 🐉 Memorable Boss Fights

  Drown in a slime horde. Get outdrawn by a Lucky Hunter. Every boss has its own mechanics—observe, adapt, and strike back with style.

• 💬 Rich Dialogue & Story

  Every character has unique dialogue and backstory. Through countless attempts, you'll gradually uncover the true secret behind the Demon Lord’s resurrection...

🌌 World Setting

Year 159 of the Holy Calendar.
The Demon Lord was slain by the Hero.
The castle lies in ruins. His minions have fled. Monsters lurk, scheming for the empty throne.

But no one knows...

You—the severed head of the Demon Lord—still draw breath.

"This is not revenge.

I'm simply taking back what's mine."
