Zankoi's Chronicles is a unique roguelike action deckbuilding game that blends real-time 1v1 combat with strategic card play. Build your deck, customize your abilities, and unleash devastating combos to overcome powerful foes.
As the Zankoi, you are both a weapon and a mystery—a Soulforged war puppet bound by the Archmage's will. Fight through the Zankoi's fragmented memories, where friend and foe alike stand in your path. Each victory weakens the Archmage's control, bringing you closer to breaking the chains that bind your soul. Awaken the true Zankoi, reclaim your freedom, and stand against the invading Zankoi army before the city falls.
