What is Cards of Cthulhu?

This single-player card battler takes place in a B-movie sci-fi world, where you fight Cthulhu's henchmen to rescue your kidnapped girlfriend. You build a six-card spell deck, then combine cards from a three-card hand while enemies react to your attacks. Death starts a new run with different enemy groups, while permanent rewards help you progress.
