- The Divine Auto-Battle Update - 6 August 2026
Hello everyone!First, I owe you an apology for how long this update has taken.After experiencing laptop issues, I lost what I believed was the only remaining copy of the project. I hadn’t used Git or maintained a proper backup, and for a year I genuinely thought the project was gone for good and frozen in time.Just recently, however, I discovered an orphaned copy sitting on an old, forgotten hard drive in a cupboard at my old place. The project was outdated, but after confirming that it still worked, I decided to bring it back to life and give the game a much-needed polish pass and try to fix any big issues such as Hercules not Herculesing.Cards of Divinity was my very first project. When I began making it, I had no real experience with programming, software architecture, or professional game design. Building it became a genuine trial by fire, making mistakes, breaking things, and gradu…

- Important Update: Release Date and Exciting News! - 24 November 2024
Hi there, It's Lew here, the developer of Cards of Divinity! I hope you're all doing well! I wanted to take a moment to share some news about the release date. After careful consideration, I've decided to delay the launch of Cards of Divinity slightly to early January, because I truly believe that delivering the best possible version of the game is worth the extra time. This will give me a chance to fine-tune the balance, squash some remaining bugs, and make sure everything feels just right when you dive in. In the meantime, I hope you've noticed the updated "About" section on the game's Steam page and there's more exciting news on the way: keep an eye out for the official trailer, which will be coming very soon. As always, thank you so much for your patience and support, I’m working hard to make sure Cards of Divinity is the best it could be when it comes out! Feel free to drop by our…
- Release Date Early Jan - 5 November 2024
Hi there, It's Lew here, the developer of Cards of Divinity! It has been a while since I posted the last update, so it makes me very happy to be able to announce the 11th of December 10th of January as the officially set release date for Cards of Divinity. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and we can all have a nice launch together, eh? :) I am also currently working on a new card type that players will be able to add to their decks - Spells/Blessings. Unlike the Hero Enhancements, these new cards will function like regular one-time spell cards. Additionally, each of the heroes will receive their own starting spell that they will add to your deck at the beginning of your run.

Greetings! Hi there, I'm exceptionally thrilled to announce that the rework is finally here!

Greetings! It's been a while since I put up an announcement over here, but oh was it worth the wait! I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming update which is going to completely change everything that needed changing about the game and improve everything that was good about it!

- The Overhauling Update - 1 March 2024
The Overhauling Update is here! ❤️🔥 💝 💘 I present to you a new and even slicker Cards of Divinity! Let me quickly go over the changes you will find in the new update! The Class System Three classes: 🛡️Guardian, ⚔️Striker, and 🧙♀️Mage. Think of these as rock-paper-scissors. Guardians deal double damage to Strikers. Strikers deal double damage to Mages. And Mages deal double damage to Guardians. This applies to damage done through attacking or defending. Limited Hero Tokens 💎 You now begin the game with 5 hero tokens and you no longer get new ones when succeeding Trials. Persephone's Dagger has been removed. Essentially, once your 5th hero is killed, your run is over. (You can use heroes like Odysseus to bypass this rule slightly) The Progression System 🗺️ You can now choose which trials you will encounter as you progress through the game. At the start of the game, you will begin…
