About the Game

YAKS is a tactical deckbuilder with 5 heroes, 460+ cards and 400+ items. Build unique setups and face your enemies in 1v1 tactical combat.

New meta system: progress between runs. After each defeat, collect soul fragments to unlock infused items — active or passive — usable in combat, opening the way to new strategies.

— COMBAT & CARDS —

  • Tactical RPG deckbuilder with persistent progression and a roguelite structure

  • 1v1 tactical combat with clear readability

  • Enemy intentions revealed based on your Anticipation: see their actions or only the number of actions

  • Synergies between cards and stats

  • Varied playstyles depending on your build

— STATS & EQUIPMENT —

  • Core RPG stats: crit, accuracy, dodge, defense, healing, armor, thorns… all influencing your cards and strengthening your builds

  • Over 400 items: 230 commons usable by all classes, plus hero‑specific weapons. Cloth, leather and plate armor available to everyone

  • Adapt your gear to your needs, from a cloth tank to a plate‑wearing mage

  • Combine cards, stats and equipment to create powerful synergies

— CONTENT & PROGRESSION —

  • Persistent progression: keep your gold, potions and equipment even after death

  • Different runs every time thanks to randomized map nodes

  • 3 unique biomes and more: grassland, snow, desert — each with its own enemies, elites, and events.

— ADVENTURE & CHALLENGES —

  • Deadly elites: defeat powerful enemies to earn specific cards, more gold, potions and crystals

  • 49 narrative mini‑events: make choices that unlock universal cards, sometimes accompanied by a crystal

Dedicated end‑game: a distinct mode focused on deckbuilding and the importance of equipment

The Kingdom of Yaks is in peril.
The kingdom of Yaks is in danger. Answer the king’s call, raise your weapons and defend the crown. From plains to deserts, from mountains to cursed lands, face bandits and repel creatures coming from beyond the borders.

Choose one of the 5 heroes and engage in 1v1 tactical battles. Build your deck, improve your stats and equip your hero to create varied builds.
