If there’s one thing you rarely associate with card games, it’s high-octane action. Of course, you’ll find plenty of deep mechanics and tactical nuance in big hitters like Yu-Gi-Oh! or Hearthstone, and even in indies like Slay the Spire, but we’d be lying if we said that we wouldn’t like to occasionally up the ante a little. That’s where EndCycle VS comes in, a game that takes what you think you know about deck-builders, and applies a hyperspace boost.
From developer 12B3, EndCycle VS is a captivating fusion of genres, combining card game mechanics with a fighting game battle style for knockout results, plus plenty of inspiration from the tactical genre, and a smattering of rogue-like elements to boot. It has a charming art style, too, that looks something along the lines of a post-apocalyptic Wargroove, without sacrificing any edge.
There’s plenty of variety in the game modes of EndCycle VS, with a story-driven solo adventure, an online arena to test your skills, and a rogue-like, high-stakes expedition. With an EndCycle VS release date now in sight, we can’t wait to step up to the challenge.
