New Mode: Blood War
The brand-new Blood War mode is now available. In this mode, victory is no longer decided by points alone, but by your HP. Every winning hand becomes an attack, and the higher the han value, the greater the damage. Defeat your opponent and survive until the end.
This update includes:
5 New Playable Characters Each character comes with unique skills, waiting to be unlocked, mastered, and explored.
New Main Menu and In-Game UI The interface has been redesigned for Blood War mode to provide a more complete experience.
New Character Artwork and Voice Announcements Each character now features new visual artwork and voice feedback, adding more personality and immersion to every match.
New Character Card Backgrounds More character card backgrounds can now be unlocked and collected as you progress through the game.
New Achievements Steam achievements have now been added to the game. Achievements will unlock as you progress, bringing clearer feedback and additional goals to pursue.
Improved AI Algorithm The AI can now use character skills and make smarter decisions during matches.
New Raise Mechanic A new raise mechanic has been added, bringing stronger risk-and-reward tension to each match and making every duel feel more like a high-stakes gamble.
