Rift-based games usually spell trouble, but Avid Games has cleverly embraced this concept in its highly anticipated title, Eerie Worlds, the successor to the popular tactical CCG Cards, the Universe and Everything. This new game retains the fun and educational aspects of its predecessor, but with a chilling twist: monsters.
Monsters, that is, emerging from rifts. Eerie Worlds boasts a visually stunning array of monsters, each meticulously based on real-world creatures from diverse mythologies and folklore.
The game's impressive scope includes a vast range of folklore. Players will encounter Japanese Yokai like Jikininki and Kuchisake, alongside Slavic monsters such as Vodyanoy and Psoglav. Bigfoot, Mothman, the Nandi Bear, El Chupacabra, and countless other terrifying creatures from around the globe populate the game's roster. Each card features an informative and well-researched description, ensuring a continuously engaging and educational experience.
Eerie Worlds features four Alliances (Grimbald, Zerrofel, Rivin, and Synnig) and multiple Hordes, adding significant tactical depth. Monsters may share certain properties while differing in others, creating strategic complexity.
Your monster collection, known as your Grimoire, can be upgraded by merging duplicate cards. The game starts with 160 basic cards, but merging unlocks many more, with additional cards planned for release soon.
Avid Games has confirmed the addition of two more Hordes in the coming months, guaranteeing continued gameplay evolution and challenge.
Gameplay involves a deck of nine monster cards and one world card, deployed over nine intense 30-second turns. Players must strategically manage mana, exploit synergies, and make critical decisions under pressure.
With its rich depth and compelling gameplay, Eerie Worlds is a must-try. Download it now for free on the Google Play Store and the App Store – [link].
