Storm Warfare is a free-to-play and free-to-start collectible card game that brings the iconic battlefields of World War II to life. It blends the thrill of strategic warfare with the revolutionary power of the web3 ecosystem, where players own, sell, and trade their in-game assets and experience the unprecedented freedom of true ownership.
Choose your faction, and shape the fate of the war! Build powerful decks representing the major World War II powers. Each faction - Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and the Soviet Union - offers a unique blend of cards, features, tactics, and play styles for strategic depth and diversity.
The core foundation of Storm Warfare revolves around its elemental units—the cards. Every card signifies a strategic move: Attack, Defence, or Support.
Understanding these card dynamics sets the stage for mastering Storm Warfare's strategic gameplay.
The game board, known as the Battleboard, is the battlefield where players deploy their cards. It includes the Commander's class. Defense, the central element of the game, and other zones for playing cards..
Your hand is your arsenal, soldier! The collection of cards within represents the weapons, tactics and resources at your disposal. Use them wisely!
Your enemy is stationed at the upper half of the battleboard. To claim your victory, you'll have to defeat the enemy’s cards and neutralize the Commander located in the main headquarters.
This is the battlefield where all the cards come to life and interact with each other. Think of it as the stage where the magic happens.
Command Points are your resources. They are the strategic currency that you must allocate to your units and weapons. Think of them as little bits of magic that you can use to unlock the full potential of your cards.
Your deck is your war chest, filled with all the tools and assets you need to win the game. When you're ready to let your opponent take their turn, hit the "End Turn" button on the right and prepare for your next move.
History is like the story of the game so far. Every move, every card played and every triumph is recorded for posterity.
The Commander is the star of the show! It represents you in the game and is the leader of your forces. Do your best to protect your Commander or you lose the game.
The weapon is the Commander's trusty ally and the symbol of his prowess. Each class has its own unique weapon which becomes more powerful with each victory. Weapon cards in the game allow the Commander to defend himself or wreak havoc on the enemy.
Commander Ability is the hero power that makes your Commander truly unique. Each Commander has their own special ability that varies depending on the Commander's class. Use them to gain an advantage and turn the tide of the battle!
There are four types of cards: Units, Events, Weapons, and Hero Cards. Cards can be obtained from packs, from other players through the Marketplace, and as rewards from Tournaments and other Events. After a certain time, some cards will no longer be available from packs or rewards, and will only be sold in limited quantities by other players that have acquired them previously through the Marketplace.
Using a wide variety of cards is essential to grasp victory. Saving the correct cards for the right moment and keeping single-use Event cards to play them when they would be most destructive to the enemy are all parts of the cunning strategy and tactics expected from Storm Warfare players.
Unit cards are cards with Attack and Defense values. They can use their Attack value to damage enemy Commanders or unit cards. Unit cards may have abilities that go into effect when they are used. These abilities are either explained through keywords or unique ability texts.
Event cards are cards with one-time effects that perform a specific action when played on the field. Event cards do not have Defense or Attack values and they expire after being used.
Hero cards have a different visual style from unit cards and do not have Attack values. Hero cards will have multiple abilities that can activate based on the remaining Command Points when a player's turn ends.
Weapon cards allow Commanders to surprise attack enemies to deal the last point of damage or have a unique effect on the battlefield to turn the course of the game dramatically.
Keywords on cards give them certain properties and abilities. The purpose of keywords is to allow cards to be easily recognized by their abilities and to create familiarity when a new card is introduced. Cards with abilities that do not fit into predefined keywords can have unique abilities that are detailed and explained on the cards themselves.
The current keywords and effects a unit card can have are given in detail below:
Commanders are the heart and soul of your army. Hailing from the major World War II powers, they each specialize in a specific Class: Infantry, Tank, Aircraft, Navy, or Support.
These Commander Classes define your strategic options. Each class boasts a unique Ability that synergizes perfectly with specific card types and tactics. And remarkably, you can unleash the full force of these game-changing Abilities for just 2 Command Points.
