The Principle of Novus Orbis
Hey gamers! Let's talk about Novus Orbis. This new fantasy roguelike deckbuilder is truly something special! Similar to games like Slay the Spire, Monster Train, and other card games, the goal here is to strategically plan your attacks and chain them together in specific sequences. Sounds easy? Well, just wait.
What can you expect from Novus Orbis?
Have you ever played games like Slay the Spire or Monster Train? Then the principle of Novus Orbis will feel familiar to you. You plan your way through a run, deciding which room to enter next. Along the way, you'll encounter battles, treasures, and surprises.
Cards and Combos in Novus Orbis
Winning battles and opening chests will reward you with cards in Novus Orbis. With these cards, you can build your deck in a way that can defeat even the toughest opponents. Like in other card games, most cards in Novus Orbis have a cost to play them and an effect that triggers when you play them.
But the real highlight is the combo system in Novus Orbis. Many of the cards have a "combo value" ranging from zero to four. When you play a card in the appropriate stage of a combo, you receive a bonus effect and increase your combo meter to the next level. Play a card that doesn't match the combo, and your meter will be reset to zero.
A new challenge for strategy enthusiasts
But be careful: You must carefully consider how you build your combos. Each opponent has a cooldown that runs down with each played card and again when you end your turn. This means that you won't always be attacked between turns, but you can suddenly be exposed to an attack in the middle of your turn if you're not careful.
Give it a try!
Still unsure? No problem! You can download a free demo of Novus Orbis on Steam and see for yourself. With over 100 different cards, 49 blessings, 5 pets, and 22 different enemies, an amazing gaming experience awaits you!
