About the Game

A UNIQUE CARD GAME / BOARD GAME HYBRID
Assemble your deck and play units and spells onto a board. A game that focuses on thoughtful decision-making and strategic positioning.

  • All cards Unlocked
All 800+ cards are unlocked, ready for you to use. Pick from 6 factions with distinguishing characteristics and different generals with unique Bloodbound spells.

  • Highly Competitive
Face people in Ladder 1v1 or draft a deck and fight in the gauntlet. Apart from Steam, Duelyst GG can be played on iPhone and Android all using the same account. Fight across platforms!

  • Gameplay focused
While Duelyst GG is fully functional on the gameplay front, we are still working on the UI and User experience. New features are added at a rapid pace. Soon we plan on releasing a roguelike deck builder for single player too.

  • For those who played the original Duelyst:
Duelyst GG was written from scratch based off the last patch. From there we have balanced and added new cards. This means 1 draw and Bloodbound Spells are in. But old bugs like broken Vale Ascension and annoying ddos decks are out.
