7 itemsAbout the Game
Arrange your ideal 9 cards on a page of the magic book!
NOVEMS is an auto-battler deckbuilder where you collect 9 cards to create your own unique build.
Choose, arrange, and entrust—
the cards do the fighting.
You are their master.
In a world where mighty sorcerers clash, forge your ultimate deck.
The key to victory lies in the 3x3 grid of 9 cards you arrange before the battle begins.
Out of countless possibilities, what will you discard, and what will you keep?
Your choices will decide your fate.
Positioning is everything—it holds the key to victory.
Analyze each card’s traits and uncover the most effective arrangement.
Where you place your cards determines their effects, action order, and synergies.
Strategically position your forces—and crush even the mightiest foes!
A card is strong on its own—but even stronger when linked.
By linking with others, a card can unleash its true potential.
Place cards of the same type side by side, or meet special conditions to trigger transformations and effects that are impossible on their own.
Uncover hidden synergies and discover the ultimate combos to overwhelm your enemies!
Wield three distinct magic tomes, each with its own set of cards, and forge your unique strategy.
With over 120 cards and 100+ link cards, every decision shapes your path to victory.
Standing in your way are enemies randomly generated for each encounter.
Arrange your cards, fight your battles, and push forward toward 10 wins.
The cards you choose, the ones you leave behind, and even those you discard—
they all become part of your strategy.
