The game was originally scheduled for August 12 but was moved up by one week. The regular price is 2,200 yen, with a 10% launch discount bringing it to 1,980 yen through August 19. Players choose 3 characters from a roster of 6, which includes the Farmer, Hunter, and Thief from the demo plus the newly added Dancer, Scholar, and Shaman. Combat takes place on a grid map where positioning, turn order, and flanking matter alongside deck construction. The game uses a Fire, Water, and Grass attribute system where applying an attribute to an enemy creates a weakness, and chaining super-effective attacks can stack damage up to 6 times. Over 300 types of cards and over 200 types of equipment and items appear, with more than 20 synergy types available depending on character combinations. A rewind function lets players undo moves, turns, or restart an entire battle without limit. The game also includes hidden stages, 10 levels of high-difficulty content, and a world ranking.","whyItMatters":"The game won first place in the card game genre demo ranking at Steam Next Fest October 2025, and the developer confirmed that moving the release date up by one week does not cut any planned content.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAttribute application has levels 1 to 5\u003c/strong\u003e.
