What is Cardpocalypse?
In this single-player RPG, you play Jess, a new student at a 1990s elementary school where card-game creatures invade the real world. You explore the school, complete quests, trade cards, and build decks around Champion cards for battles. In the separate roguelike Gauntlet mode, you draft cards, rules, and rewards between increasingly difficult matches.
