Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West is a challenging rogue-like deck building game based on the classic Chinese novel: Journey to the West. Build your unique deck, gather powerful relics and consumables to confront legendary creatures and eventually discover the truth behind the omen of darkness.

In-Game Background
The Realm of Divinity is a fantasy world based on ancient oriental legends. For thousands of years, humans worship Celestials and Buddhas, whom they believe can protect them against Evil Spirits and Demons.
Humans are blessed with a peaceful life under the balance of Light and Shadow, until the day that the Blood Comet shows up in the western sky. Rumors are everywhere: the Devil King has arrived, and ought to take over the world soon. Darkness begins to spread, and the fragile power balance across the Realm of Divinity starts to break down.
At this crucial time, you will play as a hero starting the adventure across the Realm of Divinity, building a powerful and unique deck, collecting mysterious relics, recruiting companions, battling legendary bosses, and revealing the truth about magic, desire, beliefs, and most importantly, about yourself.

Gameplay
Divinity Chronicles: Journey to the West is a rogue-like deck building game. You will play as one of the heroes with unique powers modeled as cards, consumables, and relics, and team up with legendary creatures, to decide the fate of the Realm of Divinity under the omen of darkness.
During your journey, you will encounter various monsters, spirits, celestials, demons, and legendary creatures, with their own stories deeply intertwined with yours. Make up your mind to recruit your team, work with them to conserve your strength for later, or to defeat them in an intensive turn-based combat.
