Current Free Offerings: Astrea and Mechabellum
Astrea: Six Sided Oracles reinterprets traditional deck-building by utilizing dice instead of cards. The title pairs this mechanic with a high-contrast visual design featuring blue-white and black-red palettes. Meanwhile, Mechabellum approaches combat through a multiplayer online battle arena framework focused on automated mecha warfare on expansive online battlefields.
