THE MOBILE GAME

Three games in one

Card duels. Battles are fought with cards, in real time. Every angel and every demon is a card with its own powers, and stronger cards can break weaker ones mid-play — so the deck you build decides the fight before it starts.

A world you walk. Between battles you travel on foot through the regions of the world, the way classic adventure games let you roam — towns, wilds, and the places the distortions have taken hold.

The swarm. Demons are born from unfulfilled human desires, and sometimes they come in waves. Survive the swarm, cleanse what you can, and carry the Sha back up.

Every virtue. Every distortion.

All 28 pairs of the Way of Virtue take the field — 28 angels and 28 demons, each with their own set of abilities, drawn as pixel warriors in the abstract style of Wings of Gnosis. Your virtue and its distortion were made to counter each other. They are not the only matchups that matter.

The counter web

Damage comes in three kinds:

• Super damage — the virtue that counters a distortion strikes it where it lives. Bring Awareness against Fear. Bring Gratitude against Greed.
• Normal damage — a virtue with nothing to do with that distortion still fights at full strength. It just gets no edge.
• Ineffective damage — the wrong power, thrown into the element that defeats it. Elements rule here: every power carries an element, and elements have strengths and weaknesses of their own.

So a fight is won twice: once when you choose which virtues to carry, and once when you play them.

Two layers of elements

The four roots govern the first layer — Water, Earth, Fire, Air — each strong against one element and weak against another, balanced as a whole. Above them sits a second layer of sub-elements, balanced in its own right: Ice for Water, Metal for Earth, Lightning for Fire, and Sound for Air.

The main Wings of Gnosis game keeps its own art and its own road. The mobile game speaks pixel — a smaller, sharper telling of the same Way.
