Sheva

Sheva is a single-player roguelite card fighter where you and your opponent choose actions at the same time. Each turn, both fighters select Charge, Attack or Block, then reveal and resolve their choices together. With no reaction turns, you must anticipate your opponent before committing to an action.

Turn-based combat

Charge draws another card and prepares a stronger hand, but leaves you open to damage. Incoming attacks do not remove cards you have gathered, so a well-timed Charge can preserve your momentum and set up a counterattack. Attack commits your active cards, combining their damage and effects into one assault. Block defends against incoming cards and disrupts the opponent’s prepared attack.

Cards can strengthen attacks, provide Guard, restore health, break defenses, reflect damage, disrupt an opponent’s hand and trigger additional effects under specific combat conditions. Their order matters: you can rearrange, duplicate, sacrifice, swap and shuffle cards to build combinations before attacking.

Build your fighting style

Choose a starting deck and transform it with rewards found during a run. You can collect cards, equip up to six talismans with passive effects, and use powerful abilities that can change the course of a fight. A card that helps one combination may weaken another, so deciding what to leave out matters as much as choosing a reward.

Between battles, you can choose your next chakra, add cards, equip talismans, and visit the shop to buy cards, healing and upgrades. Your route and fighting style can differ from run to run.

The seven chakras

Each run challenges you to defeat all seven chakras. You choose the order in which to face them, collect rewards between battles and prepare for increasingly dangerous enemies and bosses. Each chakra has its own cards, visual identity and combat priorities. Some favor direct aggression; others defend, disrupt your hand or prepare combinations that you must stop before they are unleashed.

Defeating every chakra boss in a single run unlocks the final confrontation. If you fail, the run ends; you can begin again with a different deck, a new route and more understanding of how your opponents fight.
