About the Game

Forge your deck. Command your forces. Rewrite the battlefield.
Step into a universe where every battle is fought with cards — and every card is yours to shape. Ex Machina Pecto is a next-generation card battler that fuses classic TCG strategy with rogue-lite progression, tactical warfare, and a player-driven economy where every trade, forge, and modification shapes the battlefield.

Choose your path across multiple game modes:

  • Traditional Mode – Go head-to-head in classic one-row card duels that put fundamentals first.

  • Tactical Mode – Command three rows with unique roles, where positioning and long-term planning decide victory.

  • Draft Mode – Enter a rogue-lite gauntlet, where each battle reshapes your deck with new rewards, card enchantments, and evolving strategies.

Beyond the battlefield lies the Card Forge — a system where every card can be reforged, enhanced, or rewritten using a variety of currencies, each with its own purpose. Add new effects, reroll attributes, shift card types, or even imbue your cards with visual flair before trading them in a fully player-driven market. Whether you buy, sell, or barter, the economy is as strategic as the battlefield itself.

Customize your presence with unlockable cosmetics that transform your board, card backs, menus, and more — all tradeable, all earnable through play. Seasonal events and limited-time currencies bring fresh twists, while story-driven tutorials ensure every commander learns the art of survival.

In this universe, every opponent is an enemy general, every card is an advantage, and every match is a war for survival.

No premium currencies. No shortcuts. Just strategy, creativity, and the will to command.
