Command a general and their army in a dark fantasy tactical card battler. Build decks for five warring factions, fight for position on a 9x5 battlefield, draft game-changing augments mid-match, and climb the ranked ladder in a war where every faction believes it is the rightful heir.
"There was order once. We were promised it would last. The promise is the oldest lie."
— inscription found in the ruins of the First CathedralTheocide is a competitive tactical card battler where deckbuilding meets turn-based tactics. Your cards don't just resolve — they take the field. Every minion you summon becomes a piece on the battlefield, and every step, flank, and trade decides which general is left standing.
WHERE CARDS MEET THE BATTLEFIELD
Fight across a 9x5 battlefield where positioning is everything. Wall off your general with Provoke, strike from range, slip past the front line with Flying, or dive the enemy general and dare them to answer. Your general is on the board too — a fighter in their own right, armed with a signature Bloodbound Spell that shapes your entire gameplan. Outplay your opponent square by square: the first general to fall loses.
FIVE FACTIONS, ONE BURIED TRUTH
The world of Therion is at war, and no one in it is lying — they're just all wrong about each other.
- The Theocracy — the empire of faith and iron order, certain that absolute control is the only thing holding back the Abyss. Disciplined ranks, healing light, and infantry that fight as one.
- The Veiled Hand — heretics and necromancers who spread creeping shadow across the battlefield and treat death as a resource.
- The Elven Conclave — the architects of war-magic, chaining spell after spell to wake dragons no other people could hold.
- The Orc Clans — the desert's last survivors, marching north with an army's spine and nothing left to lose.
- The Sanguine Courts — the vampire aristocracy, evolving their broods with the patience of things that no longer fear time.
DRAFT YOUR POWER MID-MATCH
At set turns, both players draft an augment — choose one of three permanent upgrades that bend the rest of the match around your plan. The same deck never plays the same way twice, and reading your opponent's draft is a skill of its own.
