While there is no shortage of TCG (Trading Card Games) available for mobile platforms like Android, this also means that the format of these games doesn’t change a whole lot either, giving us a bit of a predictable style of gameplay regardless of what title we are playing from this genre. Tridek: Creatures of Galena is an upcoming card combat game that is aiming to change up the standard format of gameplay found in your typical TCG title.
While there is a lot of the same sort of features in Tridek that you would find in other TCG titles, that is mainly due to the way this genre of games is played and the format of how this genre is structured. However Tridek takes some of the gameplay elements and mechanics and switches them up to make this upcoming game from Bit Barons a more dynamic, faster paced and less luck-based of a TCG.
For starters, there is a resource system in this game. While a lot of other TCGs rely on having a specific amount of points or mana (this varies on the game), this game has players harvesting resources (there are three different kinds) which can then be used to summon cards into play. The way the battle system works as well, having the biggest and strongest card on the field may not necessarily mean you’re going to win the match. Smaller rated cards can end up having a bigger amount of victory points. Victory points are what you earn through combat and each creature has a specific amount of victory points that you can end up gaining.
Between the resource system and how the victory points system works, Tridek ends up giving players a lot more flexibility in how they build their decks. This also means that there is a lot more strategy and depth involved in this game versus some of the other ones out there available for Android. Tridek will feature full online cross-platform multiplayer as well.
Right now Tridek: Creature of Galena has just went into closed beta testing which, if you’re interested in being a part of, you can sign up for over on the game’s official website.
