The upcoming Wildcard game, an interesting fusion of MOBA and collectible strategy elements, has its Steam page up and running. Players are now free to wishlist the game and register for Closed Alpha playtest sessions starting from March 14, 2025 until June. The Alpha test will indisputably be free despite no details regarding its business model.
Playful Studios, famous for games like Creativerse and Lucky’s Tale, is the developer behind this game.
About Wildcard
Wildcard expertly melds the rapid action of MOBAs with the intricate strategy prominent in trading card games. Players can control formidable Champions, create decks of versatile Summons, and compete in rousing arena matches. Some of the key features are:
- Champions and Summons: Players can select a Champion and personalize their deck with Summons that offer unique battlefield influencing abilities.
- Arena-Based Combat: Thrilling real-time fights where players can employ skills, call in allies, and make important strategic choices to beat competitors.
- Strategic Gameplay: The game presents a combination of skill-led combat and tactical deck-building resulting in every match being dynamic and competitive.
How to Register for the Closed Alpha
Players willing to sign up for the Closed Alpha can get early access to the game and receive exclusive in-game rewards. Make sure to visit the game’s Steam page and click on request access.
The Closed Alpha sessions will commence weekly starting from March 14, with entry granted in phases.
Alpha Experience
Through the Closed Alpha, players will be allowed to explore Wildcard’s cardinal gameplay, while also providing feedback that would contribute to the game’s development. As the Alpha advances, new Champions, Summons, and gameplay tweaks will be introduced, paving the way for new strategies and challenges.
Anticipated Milestones
- Rollout of new Champions and Summons.
- Extended playtest sessions progressing towards Early Access.
- Community-wide competitive challenges and events.
- Ongoing enhancements based on player feedback.
Whether Wildcard will be a hit remains uncertain, with my reservations. While the core concept of a deck-building game with added MOBA features comes off as unique, the game’s aesthetics appear lifeless and reminiscent of DEI.
