“It's like a Street Fighter on a table.”

Nexus: Clash of Rifts is a 1 v 1 fight card game.
Each turn you lock 3 hidden combos, then reveal them.
Range, priority and movement decide if the hit lands.
Prototype is already playable.

Basic Card Spotlight: Focus

Not every combo needs to strike.

Sometimes, taking a moment to prepare allows you to set up your next big move.

Focus rewards fighters who are always thinking one turn ahead.

@Helgaweb_3 Thank you, what kind of project are you working on?

Basic Card Spotlight: Heavy Strike

Not every problem needs a clever solution.

Sometimes, you just need to hit harder.

Basic Card Spotlight: Agility

Sometimes the best move is simply not being there.

Agility is a flexible card for those who like to keep their distance from their foes.

Positioning is part of every fight in Nexus.

CARD SPOTLIGHT · PULSE

Sometimes, hitting your opponent isn't enough.

Pulse strikes from range and pushes the target back, letting you disrupt positioning and create space.

It features H-24, a fighter you'll meet in a future Nexus set.

@neoltustudio Pretty proud of how the design turned out

@CMONGames Do those cards have a "glow in the dark" effect? because that would be very on theme!

We’re running online tabletop playtests.
Same board, same panels.
Just through a screen.

Stay tuned for upcoming playtest sessions.

@Zerneas_ Thats the way! I have been learning how to draw recently to make my own concepts art for the game

@Lasha3D I love the scavange build aesthetic, this on a smaller scale would be perfect for miniature games

This is your side of the fight.

Three combo slots: 01, 02, 03.
Set your cards face down.
Both players reveal them in order.

Plan | Reveal | Repeat

@Armored__Sloth Hobby for the most part, altough at some points it has been more of a lifestyle when you work in the industry and creative side.

@TheJulianific Are you planning on making it deck builder or pre built decks? Imo prebuilt decks are easier to balance for these kind of projects
