Hotfix 0.2.10 A small update that closes a few ways a match could get stuck or behave oddly. Thanks to everyone who sent reports. Matches · The Extra Action pick could hold a match open forever if the player never chose a champion. It now runs on the turn clock: if the turn ends first, the pick closes and play moves on. · A card whose first hit wins the match no longer asks you for a second tar…
Practice · Practice matches now ask how hard the opponent should play. Recruit plays whatever comes to hand, Soldier thinks about its move and still gets plenty of them wrong, and Gladiator plays the best move it can find. · The practice opponent looks ahead before it moves, so it no longer burns a turn on a card it was never allowed to play. · The difficulty you pick is remembered for next tim…
Anachron Coliseum 0.2.8 This one changes how a turn is played. You now decide before you commit, in the mulligan and on every card that asks you a question. Update before playing online: older builds cannot join a match on the new server. The opening · The coin is tossed before the mulligan, so you know whether you are taking the first turn while you are still choosing what to keep. · Mulligan…
Anachron Coliseum 0.2.7 Balance · Sobek's Blade now deals 1 damage and heals 2 health to each of the two allies it picks. It used to deal 2 damage and heal 1. · Ironclad Defense gives 2 temporary shields instead of 4. Art · El Cid has a third skin, Berserk , painted by Nicolas Revelli. · Every skin now names the artist who painted it, on the champion tile, in the full art viewer and on the cham…
Rules · VEIL and the forced-target effects (TAUNT, FIXATE) can no longer sit on the same champion. Whichever arrives second is dropped, the rest of the card resolves as normal, and the combat log says which half was refused. The arena also warns you before you commit a play that would clash. · Royal Plunder is one ability now: it copies the chosen enemy's Shield first, then deals its damage. Hi…
Decks can be shared now. There are also balance changes to the coin toss and to two cards, and a handful of fixes to things that were getting in the way during a match. Share your decks Every deck in your vault has a SHARE button. It gives you a code you can copy and send to anyone: Discord, a forum post, a message to a friend. IMPORT at the top of the vault takes a code someone sent you and bu…
The game now speaks French and Russian. Pick either in SETTINGS > LANGUAGE, next to English, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. Card text, champion names, status words and voice subtitles are all translated. · Blackbeard has an emote at last. "Walk the plank!" is his, and it unlocks at four wins. That makes one for every champion, and if you own them all you carry them all into a match. · The turn c…
A small update, mostly about hearing more from your champions. Champion voices · El Cid has found his voice. He now calls out when he plays a card and when he picks one up, and he has his own lines for Charge, Colada's Dance, Burning Tizona, Living Shield and Rally. · One of El Cid's older lines was re-recorded so it sits better with the rest. · Sun Tzu speaks up too, when he plays a card and w…
Build 0.2.0-test.2 · Steam Playtest Anachron has been rebuilt from scratch. Same champions, same cards, same rules you remember, but the game around them is new: there is finally a tutorial, you can play offline against a bot, a dropped connection no longer costs you the match, and the whole thing speaks four languages. Here is what is in your hands. The whole card game is here · 5 champions an…
Adjusted Balancing: Modified the behavior of the Superior Strategy, Triumph of Wu, and Heroic Charge abilities. Bug Fix: Resolved a rare issue where certain damage boosts were not being applied correctly in specific combat situations. UI Update: Added a "Quit Game" button to the main menu (yes, we really did forget that...).
