Decktamer - Horizon Edge Studio
Hello everyone ! It's been a while, but we've been hard at work on Decktamer for the past weeks. Today, we're excited about the release of the biggest update yet!
Here's what's new:
We have heard you loud and clear, the game is either too difficult or even too easy for some of you so we’ve decided to introduce a brand new difficulty system.
Each one of the 4 difficulties have different rules, for example:
- Your creatures will heal 2 HP after each battle in easy mode
- You can’t undo in Very Hard mode
- Herbs will only restore 1 HP in hard mode
- And more! (You can view the details for each difficulty by clicking the little icon in-game)
At first, only the easy and normal modes are unlocked but you can unlock the others by beating the game in the previous difficulties. We hope you’ll enjoy the different challenges :)
Ever wanted to know how each of the creatures in Decktamer lives in their natural habitat? Now you can!
The bestiary is a giant in-game encyclopedia of all the creatures of the abyss. It is written as you play, from the point of view of your character. At first, the bestiary is completely empty, but you can fill it by taming creatures while playing. What’s more, if you manage to beat the game while having a given creature in your deck, you can unlock a fun fact about it (and a little star that goes with it)!
While we still intend on implementing other forms of meta progression, the bestiary is the primary form of unlockables in Decktamer so we hope you’re looking forward to that (we had a lot of fun writing each description).
We’ve added 14 new cards, each with their own talents and moves (don’t know how many to be honest haha).
We’re really excited to see how you’ll use these new creatures in your deck and who knows, maybe you’ll find your new favorite here!
We’ve changed a lot of the old cards you all know and love in order to balance the game. Whether it’s a buff, a nerf, a new ability or the removal of an old one every creature should feel better now and the balancing more consistent.
And last but not least, we’ve added a menu you can access by right clicking a card in battle. It’s mainly used to get a bigger, better view of the cards (and also see which mutations they have exactly).
We still intend on adding minor features to this menu so stay tuned.

Major rework and balancing
We’ve changed a lot of the old cards you all know and love in order to balance the game. Whether it’s a buff, a nerf, a new ability or the removal of an old one every creature should feel better now and the balancing more consistent.
Right Click Menu
And last but not least, we’ve added a menu you can access by right clicking a card in battle. It’s mainly used to get a bigger, better view of the cards (and also see which mutations they have exactly).
We still intend on adding minor features to this menu so stay tuned.
Conclusion
That's it folks, we hope you'll enjoy the update! Until then, if you're looking for us, we'll be working on adding new events...
