About This Game

Heaven says your fate is sealed. You tell them to wait until your next draw.

GOD OF DEFIANCE is a single-player, turn-based deckbuilder inspired by Journey to the West, combining shadow-puppet art with mahjong-powered combat. Choose a fighter or a Wukong combat form, follow branching routes through a ten-chapter expedition, and shape your deck with cards and relics earned along the way.

Ten chapters of tactical decisions

Fight from chapter 1 through chapter 10. Regular enemies, elites and chapter bosses have their own moves, while visible enemy intentions help you plan your defense and attacks. Choose your route and manage your health and resources between battles, events, shops and rest stops.

Turn individual tricks into a fighting style

Your chosen character or form stays with you for the run. Pick rewards, buy and remove cards, upgrade your deck and combine relics to develop your strategy. Magical duplicates, powerful staff strikes and defensive counterattacks offer different combat rhythms and ways to respond.

One tile from a winning hand. One hit from defeat.

Mahjong combinations are part of card combat. Play techniques to gain character, bamboo and circle tiles, then form sequences, triplets, pairs and quads. Cash in sets early or build toward combinations such as a full flush, all triplets and seven pairs. Balance immediate survival against a stronger mahjong payoff with limited energy.

A shadow-puppet journey

Stylized characters, cards and environments bring the battles of Journey to the West to life. Play cards by clicking, dragging or using keyboard shortcuts. Route and reward progress is saved locally so you can continue your expedition.

Game content consists of chapters 1-10 of the card-combat expedition, including route selection, deckbuilding, in-combat mahjong, events, shops and rewards. The game interface is in Simplified Chinese.
