About the Game

About the Game

Shining Hero is a turn-based strategy game that combines the gameplay elements of Slay the Spire and Into the Breach. The Dark Lord has resurrected, and the chosen Shining Hero embarks on a journey to defeat him. Along the way, the hero encounters various battles, where you'll need to use both your cards and strategic positioning on the battlefield to overcome enemies. As you progress, you'll acquire new cards and refine your deck, growing stronger with each challenge.

Key Features









  • Choice in Card Usage.
Players can see which card will be drawn next and have a limited number of chances each turn to discard their current hand and draw a new one. You'll need to carefully decide which cards to keep and which to play in the heat of battle.

  • Cards Carry Over Between Turns Sometimes the key to your strategy lies in saving a card for the next turn.

  • Automatic Card Replenishment
No need to worry about drawing cards—your hand automatically replenishes after playing cards, allowing you to focus more on the battlefield.[/list]
