It’s the ultimate test of body and mind. The rules are simple: when a chess piece captures an enemy piece, a fight begins with the attacker given an advantage.

Aetheris is a roguelike deckbuilding game featuring original art direction based on comic-strip art through the development of non-photorealistic 3D rendering and 3D action when all other games in this genre are still only 2D. While single-player (deckbuilding) card games are still quite rare on the market, they do reach a large audience. Their roguelike aspect is as appealing to casual players (those trying to finish a single game) as it is to hardcore aficionados (participating in hundreds of games simultaneously).
