RUNE SEEKER - TACTICAL UNIVERSE

Rune Seeker is a strategy card game with a turn-based format. Each match’s terrain will be generated at random, so players will seldom encounter the same field twice throughout their journeys. 

With the Rune set in hand, the player’s main objective is to manipulate the terrain’s power to buff his army (and possibly debuff his opponent’s army), and ultimately to win the battle.

In other words, we can refer to Rune Seeker as a terrain-focused card game.

Key gameplay elements

Player Base: Constructing strategic buildings that offer resources and space for squad building. Resources are essential for upgrading Units, improving success rates, and reducing waiting times and costs. This unique Base element is absent from most modern card games.

Rune: In Rune Seeker, Rune sets consist of two randomly generated components, creating up to 10,000 unique Runes. Unlike other games, similarity is rare among players' Runes. Their value depends on game meta and alignment with player strategies, not rarity or power.

Unit: In essence, Runes are useless without Units and almost so without suitable ones. Units vary in capacity, influencing the number of Runes you can use. Some Units prioritize capacity over attack strength, and vice versa. Units belong to different races and have unique skills activated passively or by Runes. Upgradable and evolving over time, Units in card games, like Pokémon, can become stronger and more impressive.

Game mode

Campaign Mode: A PvE mode serves players with a challenging journey through a series of interconnected stages, battles with enemies, and exploration of different realms of the Rune Seeker world.

Wave Defense: a PvE mode in which players engage in a single battle but must overcome consecutive enemy waves. The goal is to fight and survive as many waves as possible for greater rewards. Players receive a free ticket to participate in Wave Defense every 12 hours and can save 2 tickets maximum. To join, assemble a team of 3 Units without equipped Runes; the system randomly provides Runes for this mode.

Roguelike: a PvE mode where players choose a team of 5 owned and Runes-equipped Units (though only 3 can be brought into each battle). They then enter a map generated entirely at random, ensuring a unique experience every time. The goal is to overcome challenges and battles on the map, striving to go as far as possible. The farther you progress, the greater the rewards at the end of your Roguelike playthrough.

Arena mode: a PvP mode where players choose a team of 3 owned and Runes-equipped Units to enter the battle with an active player chosen by the system.
