About the Game



BUILD YOUR DECK. HOLD THE LINE.

Deck & Defense is a real-time deckbuilding defense game where every card can change the battle. Assemble your deck before each run and protect your base against relentless waves of enemies.

Summon knights, wizards, dragons, and golems. Call down meteors, unleash lightning, spread poison, awaken powerful totems, and turn your cannon into a devastating war machine. Your cards cycle through the deck, so knowing when to play them is just as important as choosing which ones to bring.

POWER NOW. CONSEQUENCES LATER.

Overload a card in the crystal to unleash its empowered effect. Every sacrifice, however, increases the time it takes to draw your next cards, gradually slowing the rhythm of your defense.

Do you start overloading cards before the situation spirals out of control, or stay greedy and try to survive without them? Holding back preserves your momentum - but wait too long, and the run may end before you use the power you were saving.

RETURN STRONGER AFTER EVERY RUN.

Defeated enemies leave behind gold that you can spend on card packs and new additions to your collection. Refine your deck, remove unwanted cards, and merge three matching cards into a stronger version.

As you push deeper into each run, choose powerful augments that can transform your entire strategy. Build around reinforced summons, poison chain reactions, rapid-fire cannon shots, critical hits, unpredictable dice rolls and much much more. When your base finally falls, rebuild your deck and find out how much further the next run can take you.
