🎴 Zankoi's Chronicles – Major Demo Update Live for Steam Deck Building Fest!


We're thrilled to be part of Steam's Deck Building Fest! Our demo just received its biggest update yet – packed with deeper combat, smarter deck building, and tons of new content.
Try it now, and don't forget to wishlist – we're pushing hard for a May 26th release!


✅ What's New in the Demo (Already Live)

⚔️ Damage Types Now Matter


Every strike carries weight beyond raw numbers. Our four damage types each trigger unique effects:

  • Slash – Chance to gain Sharpness stacks

  • Pierce – Chance to inflict Bleed

  • Blow – Chance to apply Vulnerability

  • Heavy – Chance to Stun + bonus Poise damage


Chain them together, and your deck-building decisions will ripple through every encounter.

🃏 Secondary Affixes – Every Card Is Unique


Action cards now roll randomized secondary affixes based on their damage type. Upgrading your cards will not only improve the base damage, but probablites of its secondary affix!

✨ Specialty Enhancement


Improve each damage type's special effect and adjust special attributes to fine-tune your deck's performance.

🛡️ Parry & Defense Rework


Players now have a proper parry system alongside percentage-based defense. Time your blocks right to turn the tide of battle. Plus, the poise break system now applies to you too – manage your stance or get interrupted!

🎯 Curse System Overhaul


Curses now scale with difficulty. Lower difficulties give you breathing room. Crank it up, and every defeat carries real consequences. Mini-games no longer unfairly curse you – we fixed that.

📊 Informative UIs


Better feedback, clearer stats, and more tactical info at a glance.

🙏 Way More Blessings


Lots of new blessings added to diversify your runs.

🏪 Shop & Economy Improvements

  • Card Recycling – Trade unwanted cards for Ginkgo Leaves

  • Streamlined Levels – Cards now have 2 levels instead of a complex tier system

  • Expensive Upgrades – Upgrades will give your card an huge boost, but with more costs!

🔜 What We're Working On (Coming Soon)

  • 🤖 Brand-new Enemy AI – Built from the ground up for smarter, more tactical fights.

  • 🎬 New PV (Promotional Video) – Fresh hype footage coming.

  • 🍂 New Intro Cinematic Clips – More story atmosphere.

  • 🎵 New BGMs – If we can make it happen, fresh music to match the intensity.
