Cloud Castles

The gameplay revolves around the deployment and control of creatures in real-time combat. These creatures are stone statues that Command has magically carved, and players must fill them with magical energy to animate them for combat.

Players control the deployment and movement of creatures on the battlefield, including the tactical use of special abilities. There are three types of creature characteristics: innate, intrinsic, and extrinsic. Players are encouraged to collect as many different creatures as possible in order to use them in the match. Terrain factors, team dynamics, and opponent matchups play a role in deciding which creatures to use in battle. Matches begin with players being assigned to a Battle Arena. Creatures have one of six affinities, that influence how they interact with the environment and their opponents. Players will be paired with an opponent of comparable power and skill. As players and creatures battle, they gradually improve the creatures’ strength, fortitude, power, and capability, increasing parameter values and unlocking new abilities. Creatures can also transform into powerful, evolved versions of themselves through Enlightenment, during which they can be specialized in ways that players can use strategically in combat.
