The page gives substantial attention to planned additions, including roughly 400 more cards, while the current release contains 187 cards. It also acknowledges that the move from mobile to a client version may have areas that are not fully satisfactory.
What is 灵文西游?
A strategy card game combining roguelike runs with a trading-card-game structure, set against Chinese classical mythology.
Players choose a legendary hero, then encounter randomly generated monsters and events while pursuing a path toward deification. The initial release includes 187 cards, with more than 120 used in the available builds. Each hero has at least six play styles. Cards can be collected, combined, upgraded, or forgotten. A probability-rearrangement system changes the likelihood of obtaining desired cards. Each character uses fixed supernatural cards alongside freely selected ones, plus four fixed skill slots and skill cards that can trigger during the current turn. The team plans to add roughly 400 cards, relics, systems, events, and bosses in later development.
