Press release:
Cologne, Germany – February 16, 2021.
The Germany-based video game publisher Headup and indie games developer Elder Games are today very pleased and happy to announce that the full version of their card combat RPG “Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four” is coming to Steam on February 26th, 2021.
Launched on Steam as Early Access in late July 2020, the game has since gone through multiple updates, unveiling new cards, artifacts, enemies, and biomes. The official release will unlock the fierce final boss, new deathly realm, and end game content.
Cardaclysm: Shards of the Four is a procedurally generated collectible card game with action RPG elements. Tinkering with magic and spells beyond his ability, a dark wizard accidentally unleashes The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their minions. The only way to send them back to the fiery pit from whence they came is by battling through with 240+ cards and 40 artifacts.
In the final chapter of the game, the player must fight through brutal creatures called “Agents of Death” at every corner. Agent of Death is a new enemy type appearing for the first time, and only those who win enough keys are allowed to enter the final realm and face the ultimate boss: Death himself.
