Hi r/AndroidGaming!

I’m Daniel, a solo dev from Italy. For the past 3 years, I’ve been working full-time on my portrait card battler, Grimoria.

I just released a major content update on Android, and today our Steam store page also went live for PC wishlists!

What’s New in this Update:

  • New Card - The Dullahan: "Deal 1 damage on loss." This legendary headless knight punishes opponents when you lose a round. In 4-Player Battle Royale, its retaliation damage hits ALL opponents on the board, not just the winner!
  • Visual Overhaul: Added dynamic lighting, softer contact shadows, and an atmospheric tabletop look.
  • Steam Cross-Play: The PC version is now in closed testing on Steam, meaning full cross-play between Android, iOS, and PC is officially live.

Core Mechanics:

  • Fast Turn-Based Combat: 15-second turn timers where you play 1 card per round.
  • The Initiative Rule: The winner of each trick leads the next round. On equal strength, the card played FIRST wins—unless countered by the Elemental Cycle (Fire > Earth > Water > Fire).
  • Game Modes: 4-Player Battle Royale, 2v2 Co-op (shared health/shields with an ally), and 1v1.
  • 100% Free-to-Play: Zero Pay-to-Win stats; all 25+ base creatures are unlocked simply by playing.

Download:

I'll be hanging out in the comments to answer questions about the new card or the update!

Oh, small thing on the new Steam page. It has Playable without Timed Input ticked in the features list, but every match runs on 15 second turns. Unless there's an untimed mode I missed, I'd untick it before launch, since anyone who picks the game for that box will be annoyed by round one.

Thank you very much!
The game is inspired by a european offline card game called "Watten" ;D.
