- Multiplayer is here ! - 22 June 2023
Hello, Thank you very much for your feedback throughout the week. Thanks to you, we're improving the quality of the game every day, and we'd love to be able to patch faster, but don't forget that the development team is only 2 people! Multiplayer is here As you can see from the title, you'll be able to battle your friends or other players from all over the world! For the moment, only the "Quick Game" mode is available, with the option of inviting friends to join in later. The "Ranked Game" mode will depend on the game's popularity, so opening a ranking doesn't make much sense if there aren't many people playing the game. For the time being, you can also only play Ares vs. Ares, of course this is only in the demo. You can also edit your deck for Multiplayer mode using its dedicated temple! We invite you to visit the community's Discord server to find other players for multiplayer games.…

From now on you will have not 1 or 2 but 3 tutorials at your disposal: - A tutorial for the basics…
