About WARCANA
WARCANA is a fantasy inspired real-time base defence strategy game with a unique deck-building mechanic. Take on the role of a mighty magician and face the challenge of surviving waves of unrelenting attacks whilst simultaneously summoning your own large armies. Lay waste to your rivals in either a battle-royale with up to 30 other players, or in a series of single player campaigns.
Build your deck. Prepare your defences. Summon your armies. Survive the onslaught. Will you be the last one standing?
All cards have their own tech trees, with abilities ranging from summoning buildings, units, or casting spells. More cards are unlocked from summoned economy buildings, so be sure to play your cards right and consider your tech tree route in order to have ferocious monsters, destructive spells and more at your command. Choose poorly however, and you'll be left vulnerable to being overrun with just the round timer to save your base.
Challenge yourself in a single player campaign featuring 30+ scenarios, or create your own using the in-game editor. The single player campaign makes it easy to learn the basics, understand how the devotions differ from one other and really hone the craft of a mighty mage.
Be the last one standing in a Battle Royale against up to 30 players, where at any given time each player faces off against two direct opponents. An additional Horde Mode has players race to get the highest kill score and in the Stream Sniper mode, players can experience epic social moments as part of an online community playing against streamers.
Summon hundreds of thousands of units to your army as a maelstrom of monsters simultaneously cause extensive destruction to your own defences. The different devotion and unit types add further considerations in breaking through to your opponent's bases.
Sow the seeds of mythical forces as a "Fay Caller", spread demonic dread as a champion of "Occultism", or unleash other cosmic horrors from the other selection of fantastical devotions. Each has their own unique devotion perk, gameplay mechanic and distinct theming. Selecting primary and secondary devotions for multicoloured decks adds further depth and variety to how the battles play out.

If I could just play the MP game against AI, so I can just chill and use custom decks, it would be fun, but you cant do that, so its not that fun. If you want to play through the campaign which is just scenarios using prebuilt decks, or you want to play against other people, go for it.2 found this helpful

Makes me sad to write this. The art is fantastic, the concept is awesome, and audio is great! The game play is also fun within mission. The problem comes with trying to force a multi-player, and a strange layout for the campaign. Mission selection is difficult to navigate at best, and impossible at times. There are certain missions on single player that are nearly impossible unless you get exactly lucky at exactly the right time. In addition to all this, there's a major problem with the tool tips not explaining everything. But you can learn by brute forcing mission after mission attempt. So maybe that's part of its replay-ability and charm. Over all, a few minor tweaks and this would be one of the best indie games out there. But it seems the publisher and dev have both abandoned the project. Which is just tragic. It had such an amazing They Are Billions vibe, the clashing aesthetics, the bit art is all amazing. It has everything there to BE a major success. But it lacks cohesion, ease of navigation in the campaign, a clear story line, and needs some serious quality of life changes like tool tips etc, to make it shine like it needs to. I want to love this game so badly! But . …
good game a bit laggy but it worth it. I got it for 30 cents. worth it if it's under 1 usd.
The very early levels were a giant learning curve. But after a few levels the economy sets in. But in general the more I play the more I like it. Really deep strategy and I really love the card auto battler vibe.
gem, really fun against friends "you should invest in defence, seems like a good idea"
