Deckbuilding roguelike
Joseon Blades
Death doesn't end the bloodline — a deckbuilding roguelike for the throne
The story
Death isn't the end — the next generation carries on
Five acts stand between you and the throne of a corrupt king. Every run, your hand is all you have — and every floor you climb lets you rebuild your deck with new cards.
Falling doesn't end the story. Whatever your account has earned passes on, and the next character inherits it to climb again. Since the deck is different every time, even the same character means a new fight.
The season turns as you climb. It changes which events and enemies appear.
Characters
Eight characters, eight paths to victory
Each one wields a different kind of deck and a different way to win. Finding the one that fits you is the first victory.
Vanguard
A spear-wielding warrior at the front of the mercenary band. After travelling across Joseon, he challenges the king.

Systems
Runs you play alone, boards you share
Even when a run ends, some things keep accumulating on your account.
Trial of Arms
Three runs open every Monday on the same seed. Terrain, events, even the season are identical for everyone, so judgement decides it, not luck. One attempt each, no retries.
The Gate
The enemy at the Gate does not die. Your score is the damage you stack over 20 turns. Three attempts a week, and only your best one stands.
Silk
Earned from daily, weekly and monthly missions, attendance, achievements, and your Trial and Gate scores. Spend it on unlocking characters, outfits and adornments. You can buy it as well, but nothing is locked behind paying — it only takes longer, and it changes nothing about your strength or your rank.
Rankings
Boards are split by character and by week.
Ascension
Keep winning with a character and the next tier unlocks. Higher tiers make enemies stronger and turn the rules themselves against you.
Automatic content updates
Some game content updates when the app starts, downloading changed files. Updates to the app itself are delivered through Google Play.
Mailbox
Mission, attendance and achievement rewards arrive in the mailbox. Opening a letter claims it on the spot, and you can claim everything at once. Coupon codes go in here too.
Achievements
Three tiers: bronze, silver and gold. Each one you complete sends silk to your mailbox.
What you collect
Power always costs something
These are the relics act bosses hand over. Each is strong enough to change a run — and each asks for something back. Choosing which to take is where this game turns.
Potions
A potion you save does nothing
A potion is gone once used. Knowing when to use it is the skill.
Censer of Immortality
Enter Divinity.
Forge’s Blessing
Upgrade all cards in your hand for the rest of this combat.
Bottled Miracle
Add 2 Miracle cards to your hand.
Distilled Chaos
Automatically play the top 3 cards of your draw pile.
Duplicator
This turn, the next card you play is played an extra time.
Ashwater
Exhaust any number of cards in your hand.
Blood Essence
Heal HP equal to 20% of your max HP.
Cunning Phial
Add 3 Shiv+ cards to your hand.
The game has 390 relics and 69 potions. What you see here is a selection.
The final act
What waits before the throne
Act five brings every character a different foe to face at the throne — eight characters, eight final battles.

업데이트가 안 되던 문제 수정

X 패 수정 — 천공 송곳과 예상 피해
- 「X」가 붙는 패들을 손봤습니다.
- 천공 송곳이 혈기 3, 사용 천기 X 인 패가 됩니다. 강화하면 혈기 2 입니다.
- X 패의 설명이 지금 낼 수 있는 값으로 보입니다. 「X회」 대신 실제 횟수가 적힙니다.
- 적 체력바의 예상 피해가 틀리던 것을 고쳤습니다. 꼬챙이·회오리·박멸·천공 송곳·별가루가 1회로만 계산되어 실제보다 적게 보였습니다.
- 다중 시전을 강화하면 X+1회 방출합니다. 강화해도 X회만 나가던 문제를 고쳤습니다.
