About this gameFull description from Steam
《Card Cultivation》 is a card-based simulation game set in a cultivation world. In this game, everything from characters, monsters, magical artifacts, and materials are represented by cards. Even abstract concepts such as memories, insights, and inner demons are visualized as cards. You will need to manage these various cards to re-cultivate and achieve immortality within the game.
By dragging cards onto the operation table, you can execute different commands to create new cards. For example: combining materials to obtain magical artifacts, or combining insights to acquire mental techniques.
The game will include over 500 cards:
100+ different magical artifacts
200+ different rare materials
50+ different mental techniques
Craft magical artifacts and prepare for adventures in the martial world!
Wield your sword to slay monsters and gather rare materials.
Discover unparalleled magical artifacts and overpower gods and demons!
Your memory is lost. Throughout the game, each action gives you the chance to retrieve lost memory fragments, uncovering parts of your lost memories, and reliving that past experience.
