About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for some serious action with Exceed: Seventh Cross – Church vs. Empire Box! If you love the adrenaline rush of fighting games, with stylish characters and devastating attacks, this one's for you. Forget chasing rare cards or secret packs, because everything you need to enter the arena is right in the box. It features four brand-new fighters, each with their own unique style and abilities, hailing directly from the Seventh Cross universe.

Meet Geoffrey, the mystical swordsman who uses protective spells and wide-reaching attacks to sweep the arena. He's the bulwark against darkness! Then there's Celinka, a golem of colossal strength and sacred power, a guardian of generations who hides a dark secret behind her innocent facade. For those who enjoy pressure, Taisei is your guy: he blends dark magic with deadly swordsmanship. He starts weak, but his vampiric strikes make him nearly immortal and capable of returning from the dead.

And to round it out, D'Janette commands the magic of an ancient, diabolic empire. She uses her spells to dominate the entire battlefield and increase her power over time. Each of these warriors has a distinct playstyle, with variable player powers ensuring no two matches are the same. Point-to-point movement on the board and careful hand management are crucial for planning your attacks and defenses. It's an intense, fast-paced duel packed with strategy.

Exceed: Seventh Cross is perfect for those who want fast-paced, tactical fighting action with variety, without the hassle of setup or expansions. Just grab it, play, and see who comes out on top in this epic showdown!
