Relapse

Relapse is a card-based game about Realm, a peasant trying to lift a curse that makes mankind relive its destruction. Time resets once everyone has been killed, and no one remembers what happened except Realm. You learn, adapt, fight beasts, collect loot and try again.

Plan each battle

On your turn, draw ability cards and spend action points to use them. When you are ready, start the battle phase, in which the AI carries out its abilities. You know what your companions will do, but only get an idea of the enemy’s plans.

The game has five decks, each focused on a different area, and five classes to level up. Each class unlocks cards as you progress. Cards can be upgraded through three levels or enchanted to gain completely different abilities. Negative effects persist between battles.

Travel through the world

Complete three acts, where each map node’s content is procedurally generated. Environmental events trigger whenever you move on the world map, affecting your next path choice. Hazards at new destinations can change your plans, leaving you to choose whether to take a risk or play it safe.

Companions and rewards

Summon creatures to help in battle, with more than 15 companions available. After each battle, earn experience toward a chosen class, level up, collect loot and gain new abilities. You can also find over 100 trinkets.

Unlockables

The game includes more than 240 cards for use during runs, 90 enemies and over 170 unlockable rewards, including cosmetic skins, familiars, starting abilities and starting trinkets. Talents provide permanent upgrades.
