Description

You awaken as a summoner, one of the chosen no less, and suddenly your fate has become intertwined with the war for the world. Recruited by the Temple of Ages, you must hone your skills in the Art of Contest to master your inner light and push back the endless horde of The Godless. Choose a deck that resonates with your spirit and tap into the avatars of ancient gods and monsters to battle alongside you in this real-time strategy card game. Welcome to the world of Summoner’s Nexus. 

  • Players will engage in contests against one another to improve their rank within the Temple of Ages. 
  • Players will form alliances known as guilds, and compete to have their order stand head and shoulders above the rest. 
  • Winning battles and improving their rank will allow players to earn rank-rewards, progress through a seasonal battle pass and acquire in-game currency.
  • Players will use this currency to purchase and collect cosmetics and cards, the latter of which will enable them to engage in contests at a higher level and take part in community events. 
  • Community events will determine the cardpool and ecosystem of the game, creating an incentive to participate and perform well in said events.
