What If a Fighting Game Was Turn-Based?
Sheva is a single-player roguelite card fighter built around simultaneous decisions.
Every turn, you and your opponent choose to Charge, Attack or Block. Both actions are then revealed and resolved together.
There are no reaction turns. You must study the fight, anticipate your opponent and commit to your decision.
Predict Your Opponent
Charge to draw another card and prepare a stronger hand.
Attack to commit your active cards, combining their damage and effects into a single assault.
Block to defend against incoming cards and disrupt the attack your opponent has been preparing.
Charging leaves you exposed to damage, but an incoming attack does not remove the cards you have gathered. A well-timed Charge can therefore preserve your momentum and prepare a dangerous counterattack.
The rules are simple. Knowing what your opponent will do next is not.
Control Your Cards
Every card can do more than deal damage.
Cards can strengthen an attack, protect you with Guard, restore health, break defenses, reflect damage, disrupt an opponent’s hand and activate additional effects under specific combat conditions.
The order of your cards matters. Rearrange, duplicate, sacrifice, swap and shuffle them to create stronger combinations before committing to an attack.
Create Your Fighting Style
Choose a starting deck, then transform it through the rewards you discover during each run.
Collect new cards, equip up to six talismans and use powerful abilities that can change the direction of a fight.
Every addition creates new possibilities - but a card that strengthens one combination may weaken another. Deciding what not to take can be just as important as choosing your next reward.
Conquer the Seven Chakras
Every run challenges you to defeat all seven chakras.
Choose the order in which you face them, collect rewards between battles and prepare for increasingly dangerous enemies and bosses.
Each chakra has its own cards, visual identity and combat priorities. Some overwhelm you with direct aggression. Others defend, disrupt your hand or prepare dangerous combinations that must be stopped before they are unleashed.
Shape Every Run
Between fights, you will:
Choose which chakra to challenge next
Add new cards to your deck
Equip talismans with passive effects
Visit the shop to purchase cards, healing and upgrades
Adapt your strategy to the opponents still ahead
No two runs need to follow the same route or develop into the same fighting style.
Reach the Final Trial
Defeat every chakra boss in a single run to unlock the final confrontation.
Fail, and the run ends.
Begin again with a different deck, a new route and a better understanding of how your opponents fight.
