About the game

What you do in a play session

Remember the nostalgia of arcade fighting games, with insane combos and frenetic battles? Tag Team brings that vibe to the table, blending the adrenaline of a fighting game with the strategy of a deck-builder. Instead of controlling every punch in real-time, you 'program' the fight. You assemble your duo by choosing two fighters from the twelve available, and the magic happens when you combine their unique decks to create devastating synergies.

The dynamic is intriguing: you start with a tiny deck of just two cards. The fight unfolds automatically, flipping cards and applying their effects. The real strategic depth happens between rounds. This is when you 'turn up the heat' by adding new cards to your deck to program your upcoming moves. The crucial detail? You cannot reorder the cards already present. This means every new card added must be carefully placed to fit perfectly into the existing sequence, creating combos that can knock out the opponent or block attacks with surgical precision.

It's a game of timing and adaptation. You need to read your opponent's strategy and adjust your deck to counter-attack. If you enjoy games where deck construction directly influences the execution of programmed actions, Tag Team is a perfect fit. It's fast, tense, and rewarding when that combo you planned three rounds ago finally explodes in your opponent's face. Prepare your best duo, study the techniques, and try to dominate the ring!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Is the game truly automatic?
Yes, the fight itself is an 'auto battler'. You program the deck and cards are revealed sequentially, but the strategy lies in how you build that sequence.
Can more than two people play?
No, the game is specifically designed for 1v1 duels.
How long does a match last?
It's very fast! Matches usually last around 15 minutes, ideal for a quick game between other sessions.
Is it very complex to learn?
Not at all. The basics are simple, but the depth comes from the synergy between fighters and deck management.
What happens if I can't pull off a combo?
You can still win by focusing on defenses and blocks, adapting your deck to neutralize the opponent's strategy.
Do I need experience with fighting games?
No, but if you enjoy games like Street Fighter or Tekken, you'll feel right at home with the combo and timing logic.
