About This Game

Face the Chaos of Korean Folklore

Record of Chaos -Korea- is a turn-based deckbuilding roguelike based on Korean folklore and traditional culture.

The power of chaos has begun to shake both the human world and the realm of the gods. Choose one of three characters—the Hwarang, Namsadang, or Mudang—and navigate an ever-changing path as you face monsters and divine beings from Korean folklore.

Collect Cards, Relics, and Talismans, choose your routes and events, and advance toward the source of chaos with a deck and strategy of your own.

Forge Your Own Strategy with Cards and Relics

Each battle unfolds in turns, with you playing cards using the Energy available to you. Check the enemy's intent first, then decide the order in which to play Attack, Defense, and Ritual Cards.

Victory earns you card rewards and Yeopjeon coins. From there, choose your next path among nodes such as normal battles, elite battles, rest sites, events, treasure, and traveling merchants. Greater rewards come with greater risks, while safer paths may offer fewer opportunities to grow.

Add, upgrade, and remove cards, acquire Relics, and use Talismans to build a deck unique to each journey. Even with the same character, your combat style changes depending on the cards you choose and the paths you take.

An Unpredictable Chaos System

Even the same choice can produce a random effect when Chaos takes hold. Whether the result helps or hinders your journey is something you will have to discover for yourself.

Chaos Cards combine powerful effects with dangerous drawbacks. Defeat bosses or pass through certain events to transform them into Purified Cards with no drawbacks.

Turn the Tide with Ultimate Techniques and the Chronicle of Great Figures

At critical moments, Ultimate Techniques and the Chronicle of Great Figures can open a new path forward.

Ultimate Techniques are powerful tools that can turn the tide of battle. Before a boss fight, the Chronicle of Great Figures lets you choose a historical figure; fulfill their condition to activate a special effect.

These systems help newcomers keep their journey going, while giving experienced deckbuilding players more strategic options.

Character — Hwarang

The Namsadang builds the flows of Salpan, Beona, and Pungmul by playing Attack, Defense, and Ritual Cards. Completing a flow grants an effect that strengthens the next action, so success depends on deciding which card should receive the boost.

Character — Mudang

The Mudang's basic cards are less powerful, but Sal curses steadily wear enemies down while Divine Power unleashes potent effects. Because the Mudang must manage both Energy and Divine Power, this character demands the most careful resource management of the three.
