Kurukshetra: Ascension

Kurukshetra: Ascension is a strategy card game inspired by the Mahabharata and Ramayana. You take on the avatars of legendary heroes reborn in Kalyug, the Age of Darkness, and battle using cards depicting characters and their abilities.

Build your deck

Use melee and ranged units, spells, weapons and other effects in battle. The game has over 200 playable cards and an expanding roster of heroes, each with unique abilities, allowing for varied playstyles and deck building. Themed seasons bring new cards and balance updates every two months.

Ascend Mount Meru

In the PvE story campaign, you explore a universe of distinct factions, creatures and forces that cross time and borders. Relive events from aeons ago and use your cards to outwit Demons, Warriors and Cosmic Beasts. As you climb mythical Mount Meru and explore its realms, your choices influence a story rooted in Indian mythology.

Battle other players

In PvP, you fight other players and climb the leaderboard. Melee and Ranged Rows shape the battlefield, while Free Kills offer opportunities to strengthen your presence. Battles use a simultaneous-engagement mechanic: after a set number of rounds, both players act at once, so you must counter your opponent’s moves as well as make use of your own.

Nightfall adds a strategic phase under cover of darkness and changes the rhythm of turn-based combat. Cards designed for the night phase can add buffs, strengthen strategies and bring new units onto the board.
