Important regarding save games!

We were forced to rewrite parts of the saving and loading system to fix bugs related to it; thus, old saves will NOT be compatible. You will not see unsupported save files in your list of games to load. We apologise for the inconvenience!

In the future, if you want to avoid this problem, you can always turn off automatic updates of the game through Steam and wait to update until you are confident that you won't need to load any save files anymore.

We will do our best to inform you when new updates break old save files.



This update mainly addresses concerns from the last tournament. We're giving the game over screen an overhaul, significantly improving performance (which hasn't actually been a major concern, but we did it anyways!), and added some general improvements, a healthy chunk of balance changes, as well as some minor bug fixes.

This will be the last substantial update during Early Access. Yes, you read that correctly. The next significant update will be 1.0.

We hope you're enjoying TFC and our improvements to the game. If you haven't already done this, please consider leaving a review on Steam. We'd love to know what you think!

We'll tell you more later, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here's a few sneak peaks that we also posted on our Discord channel.


TFC has always only offered one map type, "Open Terrain", but that's not gonna be the case anymore in 1.0.

As we're adding more map variety, this includes more details like flowers for grassland and water lillies for wetland.

December 18 is the foundation day of the Jiaolong unit! To celebrate the date, we have left you a present in the Special Offers section.

Get the gift until December 20, 8:00 AM UTC.

Today I finally released Card Fuse and I am really looking forward to hearing the feedback of everyone that plays it. I’ll be checking the community posts for any posts or bugs.

Future Plans:

I may add a few extra cards or enemies but after lunch I will mainly focus on fixing any bugs that may be left. I also want to finish implementing a tool for making your own cards to add to the steam workshop, so you and others can play with custom cards.

Thank you to anyone who bought the game and enjoy fusing powerful cards!
