Core Mechanics

Combo System: Every card carries a cost and a combo value. Play in the right order to unlock their full potential, weaving together attacks, defenses, and utilities. You can intentionally break sequences to trigger alternate, often favorable outcomes. Mastering timing lets you squeeze extra power from every draw and keep pressure on your foes.

Countdown System: Each card you play and the end of your turn tighten a countdown toward the next enemy barrage. Enemies can and will attack during your turn, creating a tense rhythm where planning ahead is vital and mistakes sting more than once.

Classes and Decks

Three distinct classes offer completely different card sets and mechanics. Each class reshapes how you build, what you prioritize, and how you leverage synergy. With a robust card ecosystem, you’ll discover dozens of viable playstyles as you experiment with the unique mechanics of each class.

Deck Building and Card Types

Deck Building: More than 80 cards per class, and over 300 cards in total. Cards come in six types—Attack, Skill, Equipment, Item, Special, and Affliction—allowing a wide range of strategies from raw aggression to meticulous resource manipulation and situational effects.

Blessings, Secrets, and Progression

Blessings: Over 100 powerful upgrades await you, granted by bosses, special rooms, shops, and secret interactions. These blessings redefine capabilities, unlock new mechanics, and invite ambitious, speculative builds. A wealth of secrets to uncover ensures no two runs feel the same.

Companions and Encounters

Pets: Recruit multiple companions per run who attack, support, heal, and provide their own effects every turn. These allies intensify your strategy, adapt to evolving threats, and can turn the tide when you need it most.

Navigate through the last pieces of a broken world, balancing exploration, battle, and growth to restore order. Each run challenges your mind, tests your nerve, and invites you to discover new interactions and hidden possibilities. Add Novus Orbis to your Wishlist and begin your ascent today.
