Ivalice—a kingdom blessed by the light of the gods and ruled by the Two-headed Lion. A year after her defeat to Ordallia in the Fifty Years' War, the king succumbed to malady, leaving a mere boy of two to ascend the throne.

Whoever was named regent would rule in truth, and thus emerged two rival candidates: dukes Goltanna and Larg, whose deeds during the war had earned them great renown. Goltanna the Black Lion and Larg the White Lion were destined to clash, and the resulting conflict would come to be known as the War of the Lions.

Against this backdrop appear Ramza, third son of House Beoulve, one of Ivalice's leading military families, and his childhood companion Delita, a commoner raised amongst nobles. As they endeavor to chart a course through this tumultuous age, a mighty current draws them ever closer to the abyss.

Lead your party in exhilarating encounters where strategic positioning and forward planning determine the outcome. Use the varied terrain of 3D battlefields to your advantage, skillfully manipulate the turn order, and victory will be yours for the taking.

Combine a wide variety of jobs and abilities to craft your very own strategies.

As your party members grow, they will gain access to more jobs, each with its own unique abilities. Once learned, abilities can be used even after changing to another job. With over 20 jobs to master—including white mage, black mage, dragoon, and many others from the FINAL FANTASY series—and hundreds of abilities to learn, you have the freedom to experiment and discover the combinations that best suit your party. Chocobos and other creatures can also be tamed and led into battle.

With improved graphics, fully voiced dialogue, and refined gameplay, the enhanced version provides the perfect way to immerse yourself in the world of Ivalice. Along with the fine-tuning of several features and battle mechanics, the inclusion of the more accessible "Squire" difficulty setting makes the enhanced version an excellent starting point for first-time players.

The classic version unites the graphics and gameplay of the original 1997 version with the renowned War of the Lions translation for a unique way to experience this beloved title.

The Enhanced version of the game supports a wide variety of controller options.

It also supports keyboard and mouse controls.

The Classic version of the game only supports XInput controllers.

Keyboard controls are also supported, but mouse controls are not supported.

DUELYST II is a free, fair, competitive tactics game. Build your collection of beautifully animated pixel art cards and put your skills to the test on the ranked ladder.

Position your units on the battlefield and destroy the enemy General to claim victory in strategic turn-based combat.
Construct a deck from hundreds of unique cards - use minions, spells, and artifacts to discover new strategies and devastating combos.
Choose from six powerful factions: Lyonar Kingdoms, Songhai Empire, Vetruvian Imperium, Abyssian Host, Magmar Aspects, and Vanar Kindred.

The Factions

Lyonar

The Lyonar Kingdoms are proficient close quarter fighters who use Provoke and Zeal establish a massive presence on the battlefield. Utilize their healing prowess and you can whittle down your opponents in a war of attrition.
Songhai

Subterfuge is no stranger to the Songhai Empire, who steal the initiative with their displacement, ranged and backstab techniques. They're also masters of spell synergy, weaving devastating damage combos.
Vetruvian

The Vetruvian Imperium focuses on ephemeral Dervish summoning and specialized minions. Use a myriad of buffs and debuffs to swing the fight in your favor, and equip powerful artifacts to make your General a lethal force.
Abyssian

Masters of Deathwatch, the Abyssian Host know best how to profit from demise. They create deadly Shadow Creep and outnumber their opponents with an army of Wraithlings - weak alone, strong in numbers.
Magmar

As resilient as nature itself, the Magmar Aspects are a powerful force to reckon with. Their Grow and Rebirth abilities require foes to invest heavily into tearing down their units, lest they get torn themselves.
Vanar

synchronous game that is easy and fun to learn while also challenging and satisfying to master.”
8/10 – Noisy Pixel

“Dungeon Drafters delivers on its core concept of mixing turn-based tactics with card play. It takes a little time to get going and get a clear idea of how to modify the deck and what kind of cards are best suited to a particular strategy. But there’s a wide variety of approaches and the tactical puzzles are fun and challenging.”
8.5/10 – Softpedia

“Dungeon Drafters is the Mystery Dungeon-Phantom Dust hybrid I never knew I needed in my life. It has all the excitement and challenge of a dungeon-diving adventure, bundled together with the one-more-pack thrill of a card-collecting game.”
