About Ardeo Chronicles
Recruit four heroes and lead them through an ever-changing adventure of tactical turn-based battles. Draft powerful abilities, discover devastating synergies, gather loot and sacrifice your strongest cards to invoke godlike powers when everything goes wrong. Every run challenges you to build a different party and find a new way to survive.
RECRUIT YOUR PARTY
Choose from 25 unique heroes across six classes: Warrior, Hunter, Priest, Wizard, Rogue, and Paladin.
Build a balanced team, specialize around one strategy, or stack classes to create devastating combinations.
DRAFT YOUR ABILITIES
Start every adventure by drafting 8 abilities from a pool of 100+ cards, from Common to Legendary.
Cards are tied to specific classes, so every draft changes how your heroes fight and what synergies you can build.
FIGHT. ADAPT. SURVIVE.
Battle through four chapters of turn-based encounters, with harder and special fights offering greater rewards.
Position your heroes, sequence abilities, manage resources, and combine effects to overcome increasingly dangerous enemies.
When everything goes wrong, make the ultimate choice: Sacrifice a powerful card to unleash your hero’s ultimate ability.
REGROUP AT THE TAVERN
Between chapters, return to the Tavern to revive fallen heroes, buy new abilities and items, and unlock powerful upgrades. Strengthen what’s working or rebuild your strategy before the next battle.
EVERY RUN UNLOCKS MORE
Complete adventures and special challenges to unlock new heroes and cards for future runs.
Expand your drafting pool. Discover new combinations. Build stronger parties.
Then go again.
