Our take on De'Vine: World of Shadows
Rather than keeping its RPG progression inside combat and exploration, the game adds card construction and battles, crop cultivation, and livestock raising as substantial parallel systems. It also lets players switch between real-time and turn-based combat, replacing a fixed battle format with a player-selected one.
