Untitled Card Combat Game

Still in the earliest conceptual stages, the Untitled Card Combat Game was formed as a spiritual successor to the Game Boy Advance cult classic game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Customizing a deck of playing cards, each representing an attack, you engage in real time combat facing card to card against enemies. You can combine cards into a hand, and the character with the better hand cancels the enemy's attack and gains an advantage. It will be a single player RPG following a narrative of twists and revelations in a run-down city environment. The game takes influences from a few different sources as seen below!
