Description

A deckbuilding roguelike where every card is a waifu with her own element and personality. Battle through dark fantasy, craft combos, collect and level up your favorites.

A roguelike card battler with 60 waifu cards across 5 elements. Build decks, pick a leader, grow closer to the heroines, and fight through 3 acts of enemies and bosses.

Souls

Every battle you win pays Souls. Spend them between runs on gifts for the heroines, outfits and permanent upgrades.

Deck Building

Take a new card after every fight and pick one of two upgrade paths for each. Adapt or get outplayed.

Compact Acts

Each act takes 10-15 minutes. Quick to play, hard to master, always replayable.

Dark Aesthetic

Pixel art with a gothic edge. Every card tells a story.

Deep Strategy

Sequential resolution with telegraphed intent. Read your opponent, plan ahead, strike smart.

20 Ascension Levels

Beat the game, then climb 20 Ascension levels. Each one raises the challenge and the rewards.
