About This Game

Heart Duels

Heart Duels is a tactical card battler where positioning matters as much as the cards you play.

Choose one of three unique factions — the disciplined Supreme Order, the faithful Radiant Oath, or the forbidden Crimson Veil — each with its own cards, mechanics, and strategic identity. Build your deck, master your faction, and climb from Rank 100 to Rank 1 to become the King of Duels.

Duels take place on a compact tactical board with front lanes, back lanes, and special cover positions. Front-line units can protect what stands behind them, ranged units can pressure from safer positions, and cover-lane units can avoid direct targeting until they reveal themselves through action. Every lane, placement, and timing decision can change the outcome of a duel.

Defeat ranked NPC duelists to earn their unique cards and expand your collection. Ranked wins also unlock new dialogue, revealing character backstories, faction conflicts, and lore from the world of Heart Duels.

Customize your own character card by unlocking keywords and abilities, then forge a card that fits your personal strategy.

The campaign is designed to be replayed with all three factions, giving you three distinct paths through the duel ranks. You can also challenge friends in friendly 1v1 online duels, with multiplayer cards already unlocked for deckbuilding.
