Our take on Racine
Stat increases persist between fights, while enemies keep attacking in real time whether cards are played or not.
What is Racine?
Racine is a strategy roguelike with real-time autobattler combat.
Cards can raise a hero’s stats or cast spells, and enemies attack whether or not cards have been played. Use cards quickly during fights as their intensity grows, while choosing stat increases carefully because they persist between encounters. Build a deck by selecting cards for a journey, shaping the options available in combat. Explore different areas to find cards at ancient shrines and sacred sites, and collect artifacts. The journey also involves uncovering the cause of the spirits’ sudden violence and learning about the world’s origins.
How Racine plays

- 02Real-time card combat
- Enemies attack as soon as they can, even while no card is being played.
