Tactical Card Battler Warena Open Playtest Announced for April 17-19 on Steam
Part Time Monkey and publisher Coyote Time Publishing today announced that real-time tactical card battler Warena, is open for playtesting on Steam April 17-19 and that players can request access directly on the Steam store page.
Warena is a 1v1 RTS card-battler where both players simultaneously deploy troops, cast spells, and push toward the enemy base in real time. Matches are fast and decided by mana management and counter-timing.
Deckbuilding is core to the design. Runes unlock cards, units, and capabilities during a fight, opening new tactical options. Hero Skills chosen before each match anchor different playstyles and force opponents to adjust.
The game also includes a full single-player campaign for learning tactics before competitive play. Every card is earnable through play.
Warena is created by Tuomas Erikoinen, the artist who designed the original Angry Birds characters at Rovio. After leading art on Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, and supervising Angry Birds Space, Erikoinen left Rovio in 2012 to found his own studios. His mobile games have accumulated over 50 million downloads.
