Oi~ fellas!
Got two great pieces of news for you today!
Demon Card is part of the Steam Summer Sale — 20% off, matching our historical low! It'll stick around a while longer, so grab your buddies and jump in!
On top of that, after some time in the lab, we've been cooking — just in time for the Summer Sale, here comes another mid-sized update!
Here's the TL;DR. In this update, we're introducing:
Two new mechanics: [Stone] and [Silence].
These two new mechanics will take the game's strategic depth to another level — you finally have ways to counter some of those absurdly unbeatable builds!
New content includes 9 related universal chips, 9 character-specific chips, and 2 new skills.
A bunch of new multiplayer features: save/load, ban chips, turn timer, and other custom rules (finally, when something goes wrong, you can just pick up where you left off T T).
Balance adjustments: tons of chips, skills, and suffixes reworked to bring different characters closer in power.
