## Description
Sharpen your blade and ready your spells, because the hunt is on! In Dragon Spark, you step into the boots of a uniquely classed hero on an epic quest to slay legendary dragons. But don't think this is just about mindless combat: the game is a constant exercise in resource management and strategic decision-making. You'll embark on three major Hunts, each consisting of five waves of monsters that will push your limits.

The core tension lies in timing and power scaling. You face a classic dilemma: do you challenge the dragon early in the hunt when it's less prepared, but you're still a relatively 'raw' hero lacking gear? Or do you wait it out, battling increasingly brutal monster waves to collect loot, gems, and powerful skills, ensuring you face the boss at your absolute peak? This choice fundamentally shifts the pacing of your session.

The card system is incredibly dynamic. Thanks to the multi-use card mechanic, every card in your hand presents a choice: do you use it to strike a monster, heal yourself, or charge up a powerful skill using gems? Furthermore, your hero evolves as you play; you'll acquire new skills, but you might also lose old ones, making every playthrough a unique cycle of learning and adaptation. If you enjoy solo games that demand careful planning to avoid being turned to ash, Dragon Spark is your next must-play challenge!
