The Developer Says...

Takara Cards is a roguelike deck-builder where you create a Cadet and search for the legendary Space Dragons who stole from the Federation!
Choose from four unlockable races, each with its ship: The fearless Dwarves, the intuitive Humans, the mystical Orks, or the glamorous Elves!


Build your deck while exploring the Cosmos, and choose from a handful of Maneuver and Equipment cards earned in story events, level-ups, and stores.

Unlock new races, and create new characters and strategies:

Earn extra XP in combat by doing a chain of COMBOS!

Plan and make your turns never end: Defeating a wave of enemies recharges your batteries.

You might even resort to using your whole ship as a weapon!

Choosing what’s your starting reputation can be as important as your choice of cards:

What’s your Reputation?

  • Are you a fast learner, a Proud Genius?

  • Business comes easy for you, maybe a Born Seller?

  • Are you a gifted pilot, something like a Naive Prodigy?

Keep in mind Reputations aren’t permanent and are passive of change through events in your journey.

Your response to events influences your reputation and deck: Karma will be generated during your interactions.

Say you respond in a blessed way… you’ll get blessed Karma and Reputation!

You rather be a badass? Guts Karma is out there somewhere in the Cosmos!

Buy authorized equipment from the Guild or not-so-official ones from the Pirates.

Smuggled equip cards travel around the galaxy, and you could end up as a mule...

You might be able to steal cards if your reputation of Thief turns up, but be aware:

Your chances of being caught are also defined by your Karma!

  • Play cards in a DEEP, PUZZLY, and chill turn-based combat.

  • Over 140 cards and 40 units!

  • Create your character by choosing species, cards, and reputation!

  • Your Deck is your Pilot and your Ship: Build it by venturing through the Cosmos and Events.

  • Synergize between dozens of UNIQUE cards to clear the board of enemies in ONE turn.

  • Destroy enemies and recover resources that can be exchanged for various supplies - or use them as ammunition!

  • Exoteric Karma system that influences your Character and Events.

  • Events with voice acting inspired by tabletop RPGs.

  • Hand-painted artwork inspired by 80's anime!

  • Lore and strategies are accessible within the game in the Codex!
