About the game

What you do in a play session

Siege Storm plunges you into an epic battle where you and your opponent command armies and spells with a deck that is your lifeblood. The concept is straightforward: build your deck, summon creatures, and cast spells to destroy the enemy before they do the same to you. Imagine yourself as a general, a mighty mage, or even a farmer turning their crops into shock troops! The battlefield features two tracks, one for your advance and another for the enemy's assault. Every card in your hand is everything: your life, your mana, your library... and your salvation! You can use them to pay for stronger cards, play them as instant actions with immediate effects, or deploy them onto the tracks. Once on a track, a creature can defend, attack, become your 'supporter' (our fancy term for extra mana), or continuously activate its passive ability. The possibilities are vast: explosive combos, swift zombie-like rushes, or a solid economy to sustain your push. But beware, each hit you take costs cards from your main resource pool. Run out of cards to draw? You lose. The game also features a cooperative mode and AI decks, allowing you to play solo against challenging bosses or team up with a friend to overcome even greater trials. It's a fast-paced game, but one that demands clever tactical decisions with every play.
