Super exciting news! If you've ever wanted to meet some of the streamers featured in The Calling, you can meet many of them at ReachConf 2025 taking place from Nov 6th - 8th in Florida. There are about a dozen streamers that will be wandering the con floor throughout the event, including:

• JemiRoka

• MelindaEsperanza

• OkamiraVT

• SullyMacchi

• JuniPurwood

• SeraphimMiinVT

• KJStyles8311VT

• Aristrella_

• LightTwinsVT

• JateLive

• PreePonee

If you'd like to go to the live event but don't have your tickets yet, go to https://reachconf.org and use the promo code CANDY to get $5 off your ticket price.

Also, we will be debuting for the first time a brand new trailer featuring most of those who will be at the live event! If you're going to be at Reach, be sure to check out the Opening Night Live event where the new trailer will have it's worldwide debut!

On a separate note, for those of you who didn't know, The Calling was created by streamer and solo indie developer BuriedCandy (myself) and while I've had a lot of help from the incredible and amazing streamers featured in the game (and some not... at least not yet), it's largely developed mostly by myself.

As a solo developer who is currently unemployed, I don't have the massive large budgets of the AAA studios who've inspired this game (like Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, Unreal Tournament, etc), and I've largely been self-funding the development of the game myself.

While I am pushing hard and fast on the development of the game (and a free-to-play game at that) and absolutely have no intentions of ever stopping or abandoning this project, financial support would also be very beneficial to the project to not only help me keep a roof over my head, but also allow me to hire additional development support, animators, artists, admin support, etc to make this game the best game I could possibly make.

With that said, we're launching a Kickstarter to help boost funding and speed up development. As part of this Kickstarter, we're releasing exclusive skins for some of the characters that you won't ever find again once the Kickstarter closes.

The Kickstarter will be launching soon, so if you'd like to get notified when it goes live, click this link and then you can click on the "Follow" button on the campaign page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/buriedcandy/the-calling-1

Thanks again everyone for being interested and supporting this game, and I'm working on getting a super early play test out to you shortly! I'm just waiting on approval from Steam so I can start releasing it to those signed up for the playtest!

Hello everyone!

Following our announcement earlier this week, the October balance patch went live on October 28th. You can find the full breakdown on the balance patch here:

Dev Blog - October Balance Patch

This update delivers 14 balance changes to freshen up the meta leading into the winter expansion, expected at the end of November. Alongside these adjustments, we’ve included a variety of bug fixes, optimizations, visual upgrades, and behind-the-scenes improvements.

Read on for all the details!


Old: Deals double damage against ground unit targets. Deployment: Fight target enemy unit.
New: Has +2 attack against ground targets. Deployment: Fight target enemy unit.






Old: Blitz. Show when drawn: Give your units +2 attack until end of turn.
New: Blitz. Show when drawn: Give your units +1 attack until end of turn.






Old: Blitz. Give your units +1+1 the first time you shuffle your deck each turn.
New: Blitz. Give your other units +1+1 the first time you shuffle your deck each turn.






Old: Give your German tanks in the frontline +2+1.
New: Give your German tanks +2+1.








Old: Heavy Armor 1. Deals double damage against tanks.
New: Blitz, Heavy Armor 1. Deals double damage against tanks.

We’ve made two notable improvements that many of you will notice immediately: an all-new look for gold cards and a refreshed autocannon firing effect.

Gold cards showcase prestige and dedication, and this update makes them stand out even more. Their new look introduces deeper color, richer sheen, and a more premium finish. And remember - if your whole deck is gold, your HQ becomes gold too.

New gold card look.

All units with autocannons now use a new effect that better represents real autocannon fire in look and pacing.


New autocannon look.

The 22nd MARINES now becomes Veteran before a Navy card is played.

This improved timing means it can benefit from effects from cards such as the USS FITCH - letting your freshly promoted Marines receive the full +2+2 Navy bonus when played from hand into a FITCH turn. This is purely a functional/timing fix and does not change the unit's cost or stats, only when the Veteran trigger applies.

• When a 58th INFANTRY REGIMENT with an active Shock ability was taken control of (using for example CONFUSION), it incorrectly gained +2 attack both when it was taken control of and again when it was returned. Fixed.
  
• A classified achievement was not correctly granted in all applicable circumstances. Fixed. 🤫
  
• Fixed inconsistencies with certain cards and deck codes.
  
• When an operation cost decrease of a 3rd KURE SNLF was triggered on the enemy turn, the operation cost did not correctly increase at the end of the turn. Fixed.
  
• When a unit was Converted (e.g. by ROUT), if an attack on another target was initiated while the Convert animation was playing, the damage of that attack was redirected to the Converted unit. Fixed.
  
• In some cases, when VICTORY BANNERS was played on a GREIF and another friendly unit was Converted, the GREIF unit ability incorrectly triggered on itself, causing both GREIFs operation cost to be reduced twice, with the operation cost reduction remaining even after the second GREIF was destroyed. Fixed.
  
• If a unit with “Your orders deal +X damage” was located on the battlefield (e.g. KAWANISHI H6K), two SEAHAWKS deployed on the opposing side did not correctly reduce the damage from incoming orders. Fixed.
  
• When RUSH was played on 97th RIFLES causing the 97th RIFLES to be destroyed, the damage dealt by RUSH to the enemy side was unintentionally dealt by the enemy HQ after the Destruction effect of the 97th RIFLES was completed. Fixed.
  
• A veteran 269th RIFLES unit ability was not correctly triggered after it was taken control of and returned (e.g. by CONFUSION). Fixed.
  
• A Converted unit was counted as an added unit when the Convert ability was triggered (e.g. when an OXFORD was located on the battlefield with a 123s, and a 5th BRIGADE was played, the Converted 123s was counted as added and received bonuses from OXFORD). Fixed.
  
• Excess damage dealt by an OT-34 that was buffed by TURNING POINT was doubled. Fixed.
  
• When 67th BARANOVICHI and 139. GEBIRGSJÄGER were located on the battlefield, a LIGHT INFANTRY added or deployed to the battlefield did not correctly trigger the 139. GEBIRGSJÄGER unit ability. Fixed.
  
• Fixed irregularity with RM ROMA causing a card at the top of the deck to not lose Navy correctly at the end of turn.
  
• When a 1st GRENADIER REGIMENT was located on the battlefield with a 2. MARINE DIVISION on the opposing side, a HMS SCEPTRE countermeasure triggered on the opposing side triggered the 2. MARINE DIVISION, but did not correctly trigger the 1st GRENADIER REGIMENT unit ability. Fixed.
  
• The YANK order ability was not correctly triggered after playing PILOT ESCAPE. Fixed.
  
• A “+ attack” buff (e.g. from 17th INFANTRY REGIMENT, RULE BRITANNIA, CLOSE AIR SUPPORT) played on TIGER MOTH did not show the correct attack value. Fixed.
  
• COMBINED ARMS gave +1+1 buff to infantry units that count as a tank instead of +2+2 (e.g. SAVOIA CAVALLERIA). Fixed.

• In the Theaters of War USA “Guadalcanal” Campaign mission 4 “Henderson Field”, the incorrect version of F4F-4 WILDCAT was added to the battlefield. Fixed.

• When drafting a deck, if the draft was exited before the deck was complete, the deck visible in the Draft mode menu was missing a card. Fixed.

• On PC, in certain situations, scrolling down the “Shop” menu could cause a momentary screen flicker. Fixed.
  
• Some emotes had an unintended semicolon in Shop images. Fixed.
  
• In some cases, the card collection achievement was granted when a player was very close to finishing a set collection and opened several card packs from the card set, even though the set was not fully completed. Fixed.
  
• On mobile devices, the USS MISSOURI had the incorrect image. Fixed.
  
• The counter of completed Rookie missions did not correctly update after completing the necessary Rookie missions until after the game was restarted. Fixed.
  
• Fixed incorrect animation when an order with the “Choose One” ability was Converted by the HMS SCEPTRE countermeasure.
