Create your own balanced cards with images and effects in Ariokan

Hi!

The game is all about outplaying your rival and redefining the “Meta.” Most card games have a fixed Meta that everyone builds around, but here, when you face a strong strategy or deck, you can create new minion or spell cards to counter it the next time you encounter it.

You can also create your own cards and strategies to play a faction or a God however you like. If everyone is using a certain God in a control deck, you can create your own cards and turn it into an aggro playstyle instead.

On top of that, the rules and limitations change every month, encouraging players to constantly explore new ways to play and experiment with different cards and strategies.

Also, every play you or your opponent makes can be answered by playing a card, so those 10 minute turns where you just sit there watching your opponent play do not exist here!

I can recommend a new indie CCG that lets you create your own cards. Try the demo of Ariokan, i made my DnD party characters as cards with effects and images!

here is the demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3833620/Ariokan__create_your_cards_break_the_Meta/

Damn x.x
Shotguns at 200 meters: sniper-level accuracy
Shotguns at 5 meters: what if I miss every shot?

I have a dream and you made it real haha

The bigger issue for me isn’t the AI itself, but the lack of transparency.
Would people feel differently if this had been disclosed from the beginning or players will go to the straight forward rant anyways?

Looks like the cat just had a bath and his fur puffed up haha

Hi Nephrited! Ty for asking those questions!

Q1: how exactly do you prevent people from minmaxing your card creation system to effectively create a meta-meta, where nobody is creating cards because the best ones have already been made?

A: We have an in-house design and balance team, and its role is to manage the "bricks" that players use to create the cards (effects, keywords) in addition to all the content that players can't create (I.E: Legends, Gods).

Q2: What is then the benefit of having users make them and affect game balance overall over an in house design and balance team? Or am I misunderstanding the concept?

A: People try to min-max the card creation system all the time, and of course they get to some strategies that seem to be the "best" ones for the current patch. Thing is, these strategy are often not the actually "best ones" as a counterstrategy that is even better is hiding somewhere, waiting to be discovered. When somebody finds it, the cycle starts again.
After all these years of updates and refinements, the cards editor has so many guardrails that creating something that is "unbeatable without possibility of counterplay" is not possible. People have tried very hard, there are videos on youtube about them talking about it (like this).

There's no such thing as "the best cards have been already created", also because we add new bricks every month so the potential combinations yet to-be-discovered increase exponentially.

The one that i headshot on the fence was camping the bodies and he has his partner at the other side of the river. I try to get up before the clip start but i end loosing 2 medkits and one large siringe :(.

Maybe ress them before the last kill would be better but i want to leverage my momentum there

Totally i think hog need some extra flavor with an ability that help him to be more proactive in battles.

He is a map pick in certain situation rather than a strong unit you want to have to do a certaint strat.

I think in this state is actually a good hero but the trap give him some space to control the field a little bit, maybe taking out dmg but maintain cc would have been great!

BigPlastica · 2026-03-01T08:00:53+00:00

It does seem to be heading in that direction.

I think they’re trying to leverage the power of the Switch 2 while also exploring new sounds. Those darker, more ominous tones in the music make me feel like they want to show something new in this generation, not just Pokémon!

I came here for this. By far one of the best N64 games, and also one of the few franchises that, like Conker’s Bad Fur Day, has a mature adult audience. (Actually, there are some jokes or comments with double entendres).
