About the Game

Cursed Forest

A vast forest teeming with life, Noctful, has flourished for ages under the protection of mushroom magic-wielding elves. However, a deeply resentful oak has cursed and corrupted the forest. As a guardian elf, rally animal allies and use mushroom skills to defend your base and purify the forest!

  • Defend Your Base and Defeat the Boss

To purify the cursed forest and summon allies, you’ll need the “Mushtower” base. Protect it from the waves of incoming enemies. The enemies will keep coming until their boss is defeated. Use limited mana wisely to send animal allies against the foes and utilize skills to push back the front lines.

  • Grow Your Deck

Starting from daylight, through dusk, and into the night, enemies grow stronger. Our allies must also become stronger to secure victory. Obtain better animal cards and equip them with hats that provide enhancement effects. Elf skill cards and Artifacts are also crucial to your strategy for victory!

  • Simple Controls

This game can be played entirely with the keyboard. Use the QWER keys and arrow keys to navigate the battlefield and engage in combat. The same controls apply when selecting nodes and drafting cards.
