A 2D Souls-like action game fused with deck building for character build up. Fight in real time, shatter enemy's Poise to stop time, then unleash guaranteed card combos. No meta upgrades — only skill, builds, and mastery define each run.
Zankoi's Chronicles
Steam
As the Zankoi, you are both a weapon and a mystery. Your journey will take you through haunting memories of a war-torn world, each one revealing fragments of your past. With every battle won, you grow closer to uncovering the truth behind the war—and your role in it.

Zankoi's Chronicles is a unique action deckbuilding game that blends real-time combat with strategic card play. Build your deck, customize your abilities, and unleash devastating combos to overcome powerful foes.
The game’s combat is divided into two dynamic phases: Fighting Mode and Card Playing Mode, with the Poise Gauge serving as the key to shifting between them.
Fighting Mode: Engage in fast-paced, real-time combat to deplete your opponent’s Poise Gauge. Use your basic attacks, defenses, and combat abilities to wear them down.

Card Playing Mode: Once the Poise Gauge is broken, the battle shifts into a strategic card-playing phase. Play your carefully crafted combo cards to unleash powerful, high-damage attacks and turn the tide of battle.


Master the art of combat by breaking your opponent’s Poise Gauge and entering Combo Time. Chain together powerful combo moves for massive damage, with some combos dealing triple the impact!

Collect and customize a wide variety of cards to create a deck that suits your strategy. Assign cards to either Fighting Mode or Card Playing Mode, and experiment with synergies to maximize their effectiveness.

Discover Blessings, powerful passive enhancements that enhance specific cards or mechanics. Build your deck around these blessings to unlock devastating combos and dominate your enemies.

Spend coins in the Temple to upgrade cards, delete unwanted ones, or exchange them for new options. Continuously refine your deck to stay ahead of increasingly challenging foes.

Whether you succeed or fail, your journey leaves a lasting impact. Retain key cards from each run to strengthen your starting deck in future attempts. At higher difficulties, even card upgrades carry over, giving you an edge against tougher challenges.

Unlock a unique talent tree to permanently upgrade your character’s health, poise, and attack power. Unlock special abilities and alter game mechanics to tilt the balance in your favor.
