Elysium is for CCG and strategy fans who are interested in a historical-based CCG, but also one with new and unique mechanics like Daybreak, and a new level of accessibility with easier deck-building and easy-to-understand cards, meaning you’ll be ready for the battle in no time. For example, everyone knows that a cavalry unit will be effective against archers! ELYSIUM’s battle line mechanics and mid-game deck editing brings the feeling of the battlefield to the CCG board.
Elysium is a completely different type of CCG. It has:
- Decks with only 18 cards, and 1 of each for easier deckbuilding
- The most famous and popular Generals and factions from history
- The ability to pick which 9 cards you want in your deck every 7 turns
- 2 battle lines to organize your forces strategically
Daybreak allows you to bring in reserves mid game in order to adapt your strategy on the fly. If your opponent has built up a strong line of archers, it’s time for you to send in the cavalry! But remember to keep thinking ahead, planning your strategy, and adapting to each and every battle. Some cards’ true strength can only be utilized at certain times of day, growing stronger over time or otherwise dealing devastating blows to your opponent before retreating back to your hand.
There will be well over 500 cards and 10 Generals at launch, potentially more depending on how long the beta lasts. Currently there is PVP and versus AI modes in the game but here will be more added, some which will be familiar to fans of CCGs and some that are brand new. Through the game’s level up rewards you will gain card packs, Amethyst, and Gold, which you will also earn through daily quests. This is to make sure that you are able to earn plenty of new cards and generals without spending a thing.
Cards can be earned through leveling up rewards, as well as through packs that can be bought with in-game currency. Battle Packs will also be available through in-game purchases. All boxes will tell you exactly the rarity of cards you will receive.Total War games will still release as normal – the Elysium team is completely separate. The plan is to share content across titles, so any new historical Total War game could mean new content in Elysium. Heroes, Generals and units will enter Elysium in their own unique way.
This is a showcase of the newest addition to the Total War franchise, a strategy card game, called Total War ELYSIUM, which will be playable on PC, Android and iOS. It is free-to-play with an in-game store which doesn’t offer anything besides saving time in unlocking new generals and cards. These playable generals and their units are all from different historical periods and nations. The board features two battle lines and combat is much more dynamic then in other CCG.
Generals from across history and Total War titles are brought together to go head to head in epic showdowns. Experience countless exciting battles, build masterful decks, and dominate the battlefield as history’s most famous leaders fight to claim the ultimate mastery of war. Welcome to Elysium.
