From the Steam store

Building on the rich world of the 1998 title HARD EDGE, this game reimagines its gameplay as a real-time tactical card battler. Team up in 4v4 matches with up to 8 players.

Game Summary

Set in the hardcore sci-fi world of the 1998 title HARD EDGE, this all-new tactical battle game combines the tension of firefights with the strategic depth of card games.

Players form four-person teams and use the cards in their hands to outmaneuver and eliminate the opposing squad.

Blending the thoughtful strategy of turn-based games with the thrill of real-time action, every battle puts your tactics and teamwork to the test.

A Real-Time Tactical Card Battles

Battles unfold in turns. At the start of each turn, you draw a card and decide your next move.

The game's defining feature is that all players on the same team can act simultaneously.

Coordinate your timing with your teammates to overwhelm the enemy with a coordinated barrage, or have one player draw attention while another squad strikes from the flank. Victory belongs to the team that works together.

Deck Building and In-Match Progression Leads to Victory

Deck building is a key part of the experience.

Before you start a match, be sure to build a custom deck tailored to your character and preferred playstyle.

But the strategy doesn't stop there. As your character levels up during battle, you can add new cards to your deck or upgrade the ones you already have. Success depends not only on careful preparation, but also on your ability to adapt and evolve your deck as the battle unfolds.

Master the Battlefield with a Diverse Arsenal of Cards

Your deck contains a wide variety of weapon, equipment, and support cards. Choose the right card for the situation and seize control of the battlefield.

Key Mechanic

Movement doesn't require dedicated cards. Instead, you move by using up a card from your hand.

But every card spent on movement is one less card available for offense, defense, or support. Do you sacrifice a key attack card to reposition, or hold your ground and save it for the fight ahead? Every step is a tactical dilemma that can decide the outcome of the battle.

Build your deck, coordinate with allies, and survive the WAR ZONE!

Two Game Modes To Challenge Your Tactics

Adapt your strategy to the objective and lead your team to victory.

● Capture the Flag

Compete to secure valuable data discs scattered across the map. When time runs out, the team that has captured the most discs wins. Success depends not only on eliminating the enemy, but also on planning efficient routes to the discs, securing them safely, and coordinating roles within your team.

● Team Deathmatch

A straightforward but intense battle where the team with the most enemy eliminations claims victory. Combat skill, teamwork, and knowing exactly when to play your cards are the keys to success.

Build your deck, fight alongside your allies, and survive the unforgiving WAR ZONE.

Story: The Prelude — The Sakura Building Siege

Six months before the events of the original game...

The Sakura Building, a research facility operated by Machinery Gear corporation, is suddenly seized by an unidentified armed group. Among the hostages is one of the organization's most important scientists, Dr. Howard.

In response to the gravity of the situation, the authorities secretly deploy an elite special operations unit to resolve the crisis and rescue the doctor before it's too late.

Among the operatives are Alex and Michelle, whose long partnership against the rising conflicts begins here.

Inside the sealed-off building, heavily armed enemies and deadly traps await. As hidden agendas collide, a desperate rescue mission of strategy and gunfire is about to begin.
