It's been awhile...and it's because not many games in our niche genre. I think Duelyst 2 is going to be a great game and hoping the community turns out for this one.

Please check it out, and if you just missed their playtest and kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dreamslothgames/duelyst-ii) there's still a chance to gain kickstarter rewards and back the game through paypal: https://duelyst2.com/


If you want to play the original Duelyst 1 and brush up on gameplay, you can play it for free with instant access to all cards on the database on https://duelyst.gg/. Duelyst 2 will have a lot of planned changes though

Good luck have fun!

The developers of Smite and Paladins have started developing a turn-based tactical game called Smite Tactics. It is a tactical CCG, similar to games like Duelyst and Faeria with cards played out onto a board.

What is Smite Tactics?

"Build an army from a large roster of mythological gods and creatures like Zeus, the Greek God of the Sky, and Odin, the Norse Allfather. Then wage war in competitive multiplayer matches or single-player adventures. It’s up to you to command your Gods, strategically position your forces to take advantage of the terrain, and unleash divine powers to defeat your foes.

SMITE Tactics is currently in active development. Register now to be one of the first to play SMITE Tactics in Closed Beta!"
