Hello everyone, the last beta test went really well and phase 2 is about to begin. This is an open beta, just click the "Request Access" button on the Mage Tower Store Page and it'll activate on April 2nd. We need YOUR help to test the game and get it ready for Early Access!
Make sure to join the Mage Tower Discord as well!
SO, we've revamped a lot of the game systems for this new build, check it out!:
Five Card Factions
The game now includes five factions, each with their own unique abilities. For example, try the Silver faction to get cards from outside the game, or use the Green faction to stack the monster deck in your favor. Each faction has four unique mechanics.
55 New Cards
To make thematic factions, we added 55 new cards (in two months!) The old card pool was a hodge-podge of effects, while the new one is tailored around faction themes and cross-faction synergies. There are so many new types of decks to build!
Way More Drafting and Deckbuilding (More Player Choice!)
The old build was criticized for not having enough player choice. You didn't really draft cards, you just grabbed the cards that showed up and threw the best ones into your deck.
In the new build you get to draft a LOT of cards (there's a five card draft in almost every town), and you can change your deck before battle. Now every enemy encounter feels like a new deckbuilding puzzle! Other mechanics also reward you for building and trying out new decks.
Work on Your End-Game Deck
While you're designing all these fun decks, you'll want to Fortify and Upgrade the cards in your favorite "end-game" deck that you save for dungeons, castles, and difficult encounters.
A Deckbuilder Where You Actually Build Decks
The bottom line is that now you draft a lot of cards and build a lot of decks! As you do so, you'll fortify and upgrade your favorite deck to use for the hardest encounters. The new build provides a deckbuilder experience unlike anything else out there - where you actually get to build decks!
See you on April 2nd! :D
