Description

Wielding both blade and magic, it is your duty to protect the floating Celestial Islands from powerful opponents who seek to corrupt them. Challenge your fate and build your card deck to defeat foes and complete missions. Evolve your character with every playthrough, and become the Mahokenshi the world needs.

Where will you start your journey? Will you hail from the sturdy House of Sapphire? The cunning House of Topaz? The fierce House of Ruby? Or the secretive House of Jade? Each house draws its strength from a different elemental spirit and allows you to create different playstyles.

There are more than 200 lovingly illustrated cards to discover. Begin with a basic set of cards and choose how to build your deck as you defeat formidable foes, uncover treasures, and find remote locations. Be careful, as each terrain offers different advantages, so plan your actions with the surroundings in mind. Evolve your playstyle and strategy in every mission and leverage the strengths of your samurai house to create powerful combos.

Travel a vast array of vibrant and beautifully designed 3D maps. Meet the different people of the Celestial Islands, save villages, discover shrines and defeat deadly demons. See your battles brought to life with fully animated characters. Perform magical maneuvers, fiery attacks, strong defensive moves, and swift counterattacks on your way to restoring peace to the world.

The game looks great and plays great. There are some interesting mechanics. However, I can not recommend this game because of the time pressure in missions and how fast the difficulty ramped up. The game started great

I immediately fell in love with this game... too bad it's so BUGGY. And I'm not just talking little annoyances, like the fact that the "back to menu" button is mostly covered by the "character select" button, or that

There is a game-breaking bug that makes it unplayable. The boss suddenly got stuck and the card deck turned into “99.” After that, nothing can be clicked. Moreover, It does not allow you to start a new game after

Mahokenshi is a mixed bag of a game. On one hand it's a solid deckbuilder with workshop support for custom missions, great visual design, and has built in challenges to test you in case the base game is too easy for

A turn-based deckbuilding strategy game with samurai-themed classes and a light map progression system. The core gameplay is enjoyable at first, with a satisfying deckbuilding loop and thematic combat encounters.
