ArcaneDeck ChessWraith

ArcaneDeck ChessWraith, developed and published by 烛星游戏, is an inventive blend of deck-building strategy, roguelike exploration, and auto-chess style tactical combat.

You can inspect your opponents, view their stats, and even read bits of lore about them, though the translation, while decent, uses capital letters at the start of every word, which makes the text hard to read. After about five seconds (which can be sped up), you draw five random cards from your deck. Each card has a typical effect, healing, dealing damage, casting spells, and so on, along with an energy cost. You can play as many cards as you like until your energy runs out. If your opponents are weak, you might defeat them before the card phase even begins; stronger enemie…
