Platform: Available for PC, Mac, and modern browser (Chrome, Firefox).
Business Model: Every battle unit and spell is earned by spending time playing the game. As a result, this is NOT pay-to-win! We probably hate it more than you do
Customize Your Battle Squad: Recruit a large roster of 100+ battle units and spells each with different abilities that interact in unique and endless ways during combat. No squad or battle will play out the same.
Skill-Based Tactical Combat: The emphasis is on unit positioning, understanding your squad's capabilities, anticipating your opponent, and maintaining board control. At it's core, it's a tactical tabletop board game without all the manual math calculations.
Online Multiplayer: You no longer need to coordinate with your friends for a game night. Now you can find equally matched players to play head-to-head anytime in Ranked or Draft mode on various competitive tiers.
Short Sessions: Each game session is designed to be played in less than 30 minutes. Now you can play competitive skill-based games without investing hours towards a single session.
NAGF (Not Another Generic Fantasy): The world of Duelyst has an expansive identity and mythology where you will see gorgeous landscapes filled with rich, complex characters, untold stories, and unraveled histories.
At Launch: 5 Factions with a roster of 100 battle units and spells. We may have additional factions, battle units, and spells by achieving our stretch goals.
