Choose a character, build your deck with crazy cards and remember - you’re always just a friend away from a good time!

Play quick 1v1 or 2v2 online matches with fast-paced, card-based, combat! Level up, get new cards, improve the ones you already have, and unlock new characters with their own unique skill. Playing with friends, randoms or AI, players will enter into matches with a chosen character and a deck of cards containing weapons, buffs, and nerfs. At the start of each round you are dealt a hand of cards, with unused ones carrying over to the next round; choosing when to play these cards is part of the strategy. Fighting in a selection of small-scale arenas, the first to eliminate their opponent(s) in 3-of-5 rounds wins the match.

Unlock new characters and cards by earning experience through matches to create even more possible deck combinations. Tweak what cards you can have available during your match to emphasize a certain playstyle or build around countering another. Become a titan, invoke a friendly turret, leach health with vampire bullets, and make them have a big freaking head!

No microtransactions for progression. EVER.

The world premiere showed the very first glimpse of the game, in which players choose from a roster of animal avatars, create a custom deck of weapons and abilities, and hop into one of many cartoon maps for the speediest, silliest fight of their life. Whether they enter the ring solo for a rapidfire 1v1 or double the fun with a 2v2, each player will encounter a mess of joyous mayhem.

The first demos will be available to Gamescom attendees this week, as well as at PAX West next weekend!
