Hell has frozen over, and you must protect the last pyre from being extinguished by the angels of heaven across multiple battles at once. Pick from one of five monster clans across ten levels, and build your deck from over 220 cards.

Visit powerful locations
To take back hell, you’ll need to power up. Choose your route carefully, different locations give different benefits; upgrade your champion, recruit powerful units, upgrade cards, gain passive bonuses or duplicate any card in your deck.
Strategize to fit your playstyle
With five clans to choose from, each has its own unique and surprising gameplay. Pick your primary and supporting clan to gain access to all cards from both.

You can even duplicate your favourite card at special map nodes before facing off against the final boss.
Multiplayer
