5 itemsAbout the Game
A mysterious corruption is spreading across the region, twisting the minds of every creature it touches. Assemble a team of animal survivors, uncover the source behind the outbreak, and fight your way through ever-changing runs where every battle, card and Artifact shapes your strategy.
Command Three Survivors
Every battle is fought by a team of three survivors, each with their own deck, strengths and combat role. The entire party shares a single Action Point pool, so every card played is a choice between offense, defense and supporting your teammates. Success comes from coordinating the whole team rather than relying on a single character.
Every Character Brings a Different Strategy
Each survivor contributes to the team in a different way. Sharp Bengal overwhelms enemies with relentless offense, Pirate Albino supports the fight through gadgets and calculated precision, while Boss Shepherd keeps the team alive with powerful defensive abilities. Experiment with different team compositions to discover powerful strategies that no single character could achieve alone.
Survive the Corruption
The corruption is as dangerous as the enemies themselves. Each survivor has a Stagger meter. When it fills, they become Broken, losing their next turn and becoming vulnerable to devastating attacks. Most defensive cards allow another survivor to Intercept an incoming attack, stepping in to take the hit instead. Knowing when to protect an ally—and when to risk pushing forward—can decide the outcome of an entire battle.
Build Three Decks
Each survivor builds their own deck throughout the run. Draft new cards, upgrade existing ones and discover powerful Artifacts that reshape your strategy. Every addition strengthens an individual character while creating new synergies across the entire team, making every run feel different.
Explore a Corrupted Region
Travel through corrupted Zones filled with dangerous enemies, unpredictable Events, powerful Elites and terrifying Bosses. Every route presents different risks and rewards, encouraging you to adapt your strategy as the corruption grows stronger.
