Short Summary

Hello. We hope 2016 will be full of joyous moments for you.

We at Team ExCore present “Covenanters,” a real-time Card Battle Game that we are currently developing.

Covenanters would be best understood as a card battle game such as “Magic: The Gathering” and “Hearthstone”, combined with real-time elements. Similar to but different from duels of traditional TCGs, Team ExCore members have already experienced the joy that only real-time card battles can bring through the prototype development. We are continuing to develop the game because we wish to share this fun with many others.

If you want to experience a new strategy game experience, read what we have to say!!! Experience the suspense that real-time card battles with other players can provide!!


Overview of the World

The creator and king of the Divine, Luoja, has concluded that Mortals professed to worship him and the Divine but didn’t wish to live as he intended, so he has declared the world to doom.

Some of the Divine (Odin, Machina Gabriel, Angra Mainyu and Leviathan) granted strength to Mortals who wished to fight for their world and made them into Contractors, and together they defied Luoja.

The Contractors can summon Heroes sent by the Divine and warriors from other worlds to start battles in defense of their world.


Game Introduction

Covenanters is a Collectible Card Game. You will become a Contractor and build a deck composed of Heroes sent by the five Gods along with Minion and Effect cards to resist the creator, Luoja, and start a battle to protect the world. You can also battle other Contractors to perfect your skills.

The rules of battle are simple.        

         

When the battle starts, you will receive a hand with five randomly drawn cards from a deck of 30 cards.            

                      

 When you drag one of these cards to the field, it will summon a Minion or trigger an Effect. In this game you become victorious if you defeat the opponent’s hero by using various Minions and Effect cards.

 The unique characteristic of Covenanters is that the battles are in real-time. Because the summon stage, in which cards are used, is in real-time, the strategy unfolds in a uniquely fun way as players adapt to the ever-changing situations based on the interaction between users.

Next is a PVP video prepared by our team.


You will notice a difference from previous turn-based card game battles. Since you don’t have to wait for the opponent’s move, the game progresses swiftly with various strategies only possible in real-time.

There are two types of cards used in Covenanters.

Minion cards are deployed on the battlefield along with the hero and carry out the battle. Most Minions attack the enemy with their own skill or support friendly forces, but sometimes they can be used in various ways to strike an enemy’s weak point. Building a Minion deck befitting your strategy and deploying them in the right battlefield situation is the way to become a great Contractor.

Different from Minions, Effect cards disappear after triggering an effect. But you must not take them lightly even when they disappear. An Effect card can change the tide of battle in a single motion, or a combination of Effect cards can utterly confuse the other player.


Next let’s take a look at the Heroes of Covenanters.

The Hero is the most important being in battle. The player who lowers the health of the opponent’s Hero to zero becomes the victor.

Each Hero can only use race cards of the Divine he or she serves. For example, Angra Mainyu (the Demon God) only permits Demon Faction cards and a user who serves Angra Mainyu can only use Demon Faction cards.

There are a total of five gods, and each faction has its own characteristic.

- Machine Faction (Main God: Machina)

During game play, the faction’s characteristics are good defense and effective physical damage.

- Angel Faction (Main God: Gabriel)

During game play, the faction’s characteristics are excellent health and effective magic damage.

- Demon Faction (Main God: Angra Mainyu)

During game play, the faction’s characteristics are powerful attacks and effective debuffs.

- Human Faction (Main God: Odin)

During game play, the faction’s characteristics are Minions with low summon cost and effective Buff.

- Monster Faction (Main God: Leviathan)

During game play, the faction’s characteristics are Minions with high summon cost and effective regeneration.

You can choose one Hero from numerous choices to combine with 30 cards and create your own strategy to resist Luoja or strengthen your power by battling other Contractors


Developer Introduction

Team ExCore was founded by four developers who had worked together on an MMO project. We decided to “create a game that would fulfill our life goals before it is too late” and now we are giving it our all.

DaeHo Jin

Hello. I am ExCore Representative Jin. I am once again feeling the nervousness and anticipation that I had when I first experienced the real-time card battle of Covenanters. Covenanters is a result of a lot of trial and error, applying a real-time element to the card battle. We have experienced financial hardships, like most small game companies, but have developed the game with the happy anticipation of introducing Covenanters to the world. I wish to share this new joy of real-time card battles with other users and look forward to exciting battles. Thank you.

Alot

Hello, I am Alot, and I am working as the generalist at ExCore. Although the development period was not always smooth, we have enjoyed experimenting with the decks and development of the game. We did not give up, and eventually we were able to make it this far. We have more mountains to climb, but I hope Covenanters will have a successful debut. I would be grateful for your support of Covenanters and Team ExCore.

DaeHo Lee

I am ExCore Graphic Designer Lee. I am in charge of the background, effects and various other elements. Developing the background, designing the UI, and handling effects for the first time were a challenge, but a valued experience. Although we may be only looking ahead to success, we hope to have your support in the future. You will find that your enjoyment is multiplied with a real-time card game. Thank you.

JeeMin Yoon

I am Min, and I am in charge of servers and music. As someone who enjoyed TCGs in my youth, creating real-time card battles gave me a new type of joy. If you like card battles, you will fall for the excitement provided by real-time!


Purpose of Sponsorship

Covenanters is entering the final stage of development. We are planning to officially start services by March. Our plan for the first phase is to launch on the Android Market (North America, Korea), and to launch in App Store during the second phase.

The reason for our fundraising is to acquire funds for additional updates. We have several planned additions such as new cards, new heroes, new story modes and various hero skills, but development has been postponed due to insufficient funds. If fundraising is successful, we will be able to launch these updates.

100% Attainment

20 new additional cards (total 100 cards) will be added for each Divine (Odin, Machina, Gabriel, Angra Mainyu and Leviathan) factions. More strategic elements will be added.

300% Attainment

A new Hero will be added for each Divine (Odin, Machina, Gabriel, Angra Mainyu and Leviathan) factions. You can expect even more charismatic Heroes to be created. A unique skill will also be added for each Hero. Look forward to each Hero having unique individual skills.

400% Attainment

Finally, each Hero will be able to serve an additional Divine. They can get strength from two divines and use cards from two worlds. For example, a guest hero of Angra Mainyu (Demon God) can get strength from Gabriel (Angel God) and build a deck with both demon and angel faction cards. Build an even more effective deck of your own.

600% Attainment

Hero, UR and SR minions will be given voices. This will make the game more dynamic.

Various backgrounds and sound effects will be added as well.
