8 itemsAbout the Game
A minimalist card battler with cunningly complex tactics and surprising results.
The 'magic' of Blades, Bows & Magic is in discovering the interesting interactions of the cards, depending on their placement and abilities, often resulting in unexpected outcomes.
The cards you choose, and where you place them in your formation versus your opponent really matters. It starts with our simple core RPS mechanic - Warrior beats Archer beats Mage beats Warrior - this determines your basic tactical approach with 'who kills who' and 'when abilities trigger'.
Then we've layered the gameplay with a variety of cards, each with their own unique abilities, including an array of champions to fight, who wield their own battle-changing powers.
You'll take turns in the singleplayer campaign and PvP multiplayer challenges, attacking and defending against your opponent to determine the victor.
Game Modes
