Catalyst
SteamWe’ve combined the strategic depth of collectible card games with grid-based movement and tactical combat. Cast spells, position your units, attack, and unleash abilities to outmaneuver your opponents. Your commander is the heart of your strategy—protect them, and they'll lead you to victory. With dozens of unique commanders to unlock, each offering their own playstyle and powers, the path to mastery is always evolving.

In the single-player mode, you’ll embark on dynamic, procedurally generated runs where each battle, card reward, and relic choice shapes your evolving strategy. Earn new cards, unlock synergies, and build your collection as you uncover the secrets of the Catalyst stone.

We're launching in Early Access with the foundation in place and a clear roadmap ahead. At release, the game features 4 fully playable element factions, offering a variety of strategies right from the start.

Multiplayer is already in beta testing and will be rolled out as we refine core systems and gather feedback. We also have a wide range of new mechanics and features we’re excited to explore—many of which will be shaped by community input as development progresses.
Whether you’re uncovering forgotten lore or outwitting powerful enemies, your choices and creativity will determine your legacy in this ever-shifting realm.
