9 itemsAbout the Game
🏰 Lead a Ruined World Back to Life
In a world devastated by the Demon Lord, you become the leader of a collapsing nation.
Advance Technology, gather Funds, grow your Population — and defeat the Demon Lord.
⚙️ The Balance of Tech, Funds, and Population Is Everything
To develop your nation, build Facilities and raise your core resources — Tech, Funds, and Population.
What you prioritize will shape your nation’s fate.
• Tech Points: Hitting thresholds unlocks new Technologies and adds cards to the draft pool.
• Funds: The more Funds you have, the more Coins you have each turn to pay card costs.
• Population Points: At thresholds, you can Gain, Upgrade, or Purge cards.
Now — do you invest in Tech, chase Funds, or grow your Population?
Every move can save — or doom — the nation.
🛡️ The Archdemons Draw Near
In each stage, the Archdemons — lieutenants of the Demon Lord — invade.
They steadily close in on your base, intent on annihilating your nation.
Build Facilities or repel the demons?
A single misstep can doom everything.
Make the right calls and defeat the Archdemons (or the Demon Lord) to clear the stage.
Your decisions will forge humanity’s future.
🃏 Build Your Strategy with Around 300 Cards
Begin with medieval-style Technologies and magic — Windmill Town, Swordsman, Fireball, Movable Type — and, as you advance Tech, unlock powerful cards like Tank, Explosion, and Railgun.
Whether you fight with a deck focused on Magic attacks, Mid- and Long-Range attacks, or Melee attacks is up to you.
But your enemies are tough.
Demons wield Abilities such as:
• Spellproof — strong against Magic attacks
• Steam — strong against Mid- and Long-Range attacks
• Flying — strong against Melee attacks
Read enemy Abilities, rebuild your deck, and discover the formula for victory!
