Core mechanisms

Key systems that shape the decisions players make.

Read the full game description

Combine one climber with one class to form a distinctive action deck, then open the spiral-bound scenario book to one of seventeen towering leviathans. Cards provide movement, jumps, glides, strikes, and skills, but they also act as stamina: spending too aggressively can leave a climber exhausted or falling. Each creature changes the terrain, attack patterns, and puzzle of reaching its binding crystals. Coordinate positions, exploit off-turn skills, weather escalating threats, and break every crystal before the team is overwhelmed. Solo and cooperative play use the same tactical system without an app.
