Warcana PC

Warcana is a game reminiscent of titles such as They Are Billions or Conan Unconquered. We are dealing with a real-time strategy, enriched with elements of tower defense and card games. The game was developed by the independent German studio 1000 Orks, and its release was handled by Team17.

Gameplay

Warcana takes us to a fantasy world. Watching the action in an isometric view, we play the role of a magician whose task is to defend the fortress against gigantic enemy armies, featuring tens of thousands units. Our wizard can represent one of the schools of magic, diversified in terms of spells, strengths and weaknesses, and the appearance of the base.

Building defensive structures, summoning units and casting powerful spells is done by playing cards. We build the deck based on elements unlocked in special buildings related to economy. Additionally, all cards have their own technology trees, which provide us with access to various improvements.

The defensive structures in our fortress can serve both to attack adversaries and to actively resist them (for example, by conducting shelling). As for our subordinates - powerful, wild creatures that sow panic in the ranks of invaders take the lead. There are also spells and they can not only weaken attackers, but also strengthen our forces.

Game modes

Warcana offers a single-player story campaign in which we learn about the twists and turns of the game over the course of several dozen scenarios. The pillar of the game is the multiplayer mode, which allows you to compete with other players in a battle royale mode for up to 30 participants (single players face duos of opponents, and the winner is the one who is the last one alive). There is also a horde mode in which we fight for the highest possible kill score.

The icing on the cake is the Stream Sniper mode, which allows us to play against streamers. There is also a special editor tool that allows us to create our own story scenarios.
