Duelyst is a free-to-play collectible card game and turn-based strategy hybrid. The full game was officially released on April 27, 2016 on both Microsoft Windows and OS X platforms [1] having previously been in an open-beta period [2] after being crowdfunded in Kickstarter for more than double its goal in April 2014.

Gameplay
In Duelyst, two players battle across a tactical battlefield, taking turns in which they play and position minions and spells, represented by cards drawn from a custom built deck, until one of the players eliminates the enemy general. There are six factions in Duelyst, each with its own unique characteristics that affect strategy and gameplay of the decks the player builds. [5]
The game offers a practice mode, puzzle-like challenges, a ranked season ladder and a draft-style tournament mode. [6]
Reception
The game holds an aggregate rating of 82/100 on Metacritic, based on 14 critic reviews. [7]
