About the game
What you do in a play session
Flash Duel: Second Edition is a fast-paced card game that simulates duels between characters from the Fantasy Strike universe. The arena? An 18-space linear track where every move and strike must be calculated precisely. With 20 unique characters, each with special abilities, there are hundreds of possible matchups. Want to play the basic mode to learn? It's there. Want something more complex with all abilities unlocked? That's there too. Plus, you can create your own character, engage in 2v2 team battles, tackle solo play with achievements, or even a cooperative mode where up to four players face a dragon controlled by a fifth player. And if you like betrayal, there's a mode where someone might secretly be helping the dragon! Language dependency is moderate, so a translation of the cards might be handy.
