About this game
🏰 Lead a Ruined World Back to Life
In a world devastated by the Demon Lord, you become the leader of a collapsing nation.
Advance Technology, gather Funds, grow your Population — and defeat the Demon Lord.
⚙️ The Balance of Tech, Funds, and Population Is Everything
To develop your nation, build Facilities and raise your core resources — Tech, Funds, and Population.
What you prioritize will shape your nation’s fate.
• Tech Points: Hitting thresholds unlocks new Technologies and adds cards to the draft pool.
• Funds: The more Funds you have, the more Coins you have each turn to pay card costs.
• Population Points: At thresholds, you can Gain, Upgrade, or Purge cards.
Now — do you invest in Tech, chase Funds, or grow your Population?
Every move can save — or doom — the nation.
🛡️ The Archdemons Draw Near
In each stage, the Archdemons — lieutenants of the Demon Lord — invade.
They steadily close in on your base, intent on annihilating your nation.
Build Facilities or repel the demons?
A single misstep can doom everything.
Make the right calls and defeat the Archdemons (or the Demon Lord) to clear the stage.
Your decisions will forge humanity’s future.
🃏 Build Your Strategy with Around 300 Cards
Begin with medieval-style Technologies and magic — Windmill Town, Swordsman, Fireball, Movable Type — and, as you advance Tech, unlock powerful cards like Tank, Explosion, and Railgun.
Whether you fight with a deck focused on Magic attacks, Mid- and Long-Range attacks, or Melee attacks is up to you.
But your enemies are tough.
Demons wield Abilities such as:
• Spellproof — strong against Magic attacks
• Steam — strong against Mid- and Long-Range attacks
• Flying — strong against Melee attacks
Read enemy Abilities, rebuild your deck, and discover the formula for victory!

About the Upcoming Carmagist Demo Update
Thank you for playing Carmagist.The next update is scheduled for the end of this month.The update is planned to include the following changes.Upcoming Update Contents The Technology Level-Up Bonus will be removed and replaced with the Technology Map.The Population Level-Up Bonus will be removed and replaced with a new system that increases Civic Power.A new stat, Civic Power, will be added.Players will be able to choose whether or not to participate in the rankings.Various minor adjustments and bug fixes will also be implemented.The next update will feature major adjustments to the Technology and Population progression systems.Until now, the process of obtaining cards has been as follows: 1. Increase Technology to unlock cards. 2. Increase Population to obtain cards through random draws.However, this process has been difficult for new players to understand and created a high barrier to entry.The new Technology Map system will allow players to choose from routes that are automatically generated each playthrough.Rewards available from the Technology Map will include cards, card upgrades, card removal options, relics, and more.Card rewards will now be obtained immediately when a card is selected on the Technology Map.In this way, the process of obtaining cards has been made much easier to understand.At this point, many players may be thinking the following:“If the gameplay of steadily building up technology is removed, won’t the experience of developing a civilization be lost?”That is a perfectly reasonable concern.However, the new system still retains the gameplay of gradually advancing technology.For example, the more cards you acquire from a specific technology category such as “Military Tactics” or “Scientific Technology,” the easier it will become to obtain additional cards from that same category.So how exactly will certain cards become easier to obtain?To acquire powerful cards through the Technology Map, a large amount of the new Civic Power parameter will be r...Read full article on Community Announcements (toshi_c)
