Competitive matches last between five and ten minutes, focusing on fast-paced high action and exciting decision-making.

Initially funded as a Kickstarter project, Duelyst doubled its initial pledge goal before being Steam Greenlit. Duelyst pays homage to classic tactics games where positioning and thoughtful planning matter. Gameplay in Duelyst is turn-based, with players taking turns to cast powerful spells, equip mighty artifacts, or summon deadly minions to move and attack on the battlefield on their behalf.

Duelyst is now in open beta worldwide and available to play for free.
