Erannorth Reborn

Erannorth Reborn is a sandbox card game focused on deck-building, character customization and modding. You create a character with attributes, race- and class-specific skills, and perks that affect your cards. As you play, you adapt your deck and equipment, combine card effects with the Synergy mechanic, and take on progressively harder challenges or explore a sandbox adventure.

Characters and progression

Races and classes have different attributes, affinities, card sets, perks, equipment, resistances and damage affinities. Each race and class has a distinct card set called a Discipline, which also includes equipment, consumables and initial skills. Attributes affect card effectiveness, damage and other aspects of your build, while affinities let you specialize in different damage types. Perks provide passive bonuses, and some classes can gain access to card sets from other Disciplines.

You unlock races and classes and gain mastery as you level up. Defeating bosses in Gauntlet modes or exploring areas in Adventure mode earns Tokens and Mastery; completing a run gives extra Tokens. You choose which races or classes to unlock next.

Build your deck

You can freely adjust your deck at any time, adding or removing racial and class skills you learn, actions found in Forgotten Grimoires, and consumable items. Use combinations of Action Cards against distinct enemies, each with their own damage resistances, vulnerabilities and decisions. The game includes over 1,985 cards built from hundreds of keywords and effects. You can add effects to cards through Synergy, and upgrade cards to stronger versions by using them.

Modes and challenges

Gauntlets offer progressively harder stages, each ending with a boss. You can play in Ironman or Casual mode, or set up fully custom Gauntlets. In Sandbox Adventure mode, you choose which areas to explore and when in a world with a merciless status quo. Towns let you purchase equipment and actions and restock supplies. The game also lets you adjust the difficulty, from harder, more hardcore and roguelike play to easier, more relaxed runs.

Modding

You can edit plain-text files to customize the game or create mods, without coding skills or special software. Modding tools let you create stages, events, game modes, difficulties and ascensions, and edit or add cards, enemies, classes, races, skills and perks. You can also add custom avatars and replace card and enemy artwork by placing graphics in designated folders. The built-in Mod Manager lets you install, uninstall, activate and deactivate mods, and the game includes a mode editor for changing settings such as enemy strength, starting stage and level, permadeath and discard rules. Mods can be shared through Steam Workshop.
