Children of Zodiarcs

Deck dreamers and tactics tinkerers get a curious hybrid in Children of Zodiarcs, an Indie Strategy RPG that fuses positional combat with collectible cards and rollable dice. Developed by Cardboard Utopia with support from Square Enix and released July 18, 2017, it invites players to design builds, craft combos, and construct answers on a grid based battlefield. Each hero carries a customizable deck while dice add calculated volatility, offset by tools to tweak rolls and upgrade loadouts. The result plays like an anime tinged heist saga where a crew of street smart protagonists engineers victories through planning, not grind. On Windows, its thoughtful pace suits deep lab sessions, sharing lists, and testing lines, aligning with card and strategy game recommendations and card and strategy reviews. Fans of tactical SRPGs, deck construction, and dice manipulation will find room to create. It even rewards lovers of advanced deck construction theory without demanding endless spend or time sinks.
