Our take on WARCANA

The central constraint is that card choices also determine the tech route: economy buildings unlock more cards, while a poor route can leave a base exposed to attacks.

What is WARCANA?

WARCANA combines real-time base defence and strategy with deck building.

Players choose primary and secondary devotions, then use cards to summon buildings and units or cast spells. Each card has a tech tree, and economy buildings unlock additional cards, so choices shape which forces and abilities become available. The game includes a single-player campaign with more than 30 scenarios, an editor for creating scenarios, and multiplayer modes. Battle Royale pits players against up to 30 others, with each player facing two direct opponents at a time. Horde Mode focuses on achieving a high kill score, while Stream Sniper mode puts players in online matches with streamers. Battles involve defending against monster attacks while building armies to attack rivals.

How WARCANA plays

01Card tech trees: Cards can summon structures, units, or spells, while economy buildings provide access to additional cards.
02Scenario editor: The editor lets players make scenarios alongside the campaign's 30+ stages.
03Multiple game modes: Options include solo campaigns, Battle Royale with up to 30 other players, Horde Mode, and Stream Sniper mode.
04Devotion choices: Primary and secondary selections combine distinct perks and mechanics in multicolored decks.
