The Cardian - Light the Shrines

From the Devs

When the colossal Guardians fell into slumber, the Black Mist rose from deep beneath the earth and engulfed the world.

As monsters driven mad by the mist threaten the land, you are a knight acting under the kingdom's command. Cleanse the corruption, defend the shrines, and restore the light before it is extinguished forever.

The Cardian - Light the Shrines is a strategic deckbuilder where you predict enemy actions, plan your movement route, and queue your skills in advance.

DEFEND THE SHRINES FROM THE BLACK MIST

The Black Mist has consumed the world, and its monsters are closing in on the last shrines of light. Hold back endless waves of enemies and protect humanity's final hope. Defeat monsters to gain experience, choose new cards, and strengthen your deck as each battle pushes you deeper into the darkness.

BUILD A DECK AROUND CARD TRAITS

Create a deck that suits your playstyle. Taunt monsters and draw them into position. Unleash powerful area attacks to wipe out entire groups. Or use superior mobility to escape danger and strike from unexpected angles. Combine card traits, discover powerful synergies, and create a winning build of your own.

TURN-BASED DECKBUILDING COMBAT

Predict where monsters will move, then plan your character's route and the order of your card effects before the turn begins. A skill can change completely depending on your position and movement direction. Build the perfect strategy and eliminate the monsters before they reach the shrine.

BUILD BONDS WITH SURVIVORS

As you progress through each stage, you will meet survivors who have lost their homes to the Black Mist—herbalists, wandering merchants, researchers, and more.

Grow closer to them to unlock special skills and powerful support effects. Turn these survivors into trusted companions for the journey ahead.

RISE AGAIN. DEFEND THE LAST SHRINE.

Each run at the Shrine of Light presents new choices, new synergies, and new paths to victory.

Keep playing to level up, unlock new cards and powerful relics, and rise again to defend the last light against the darkness.
