Indie game studio Bit Mass has released a major update for their free-to-play game, Cards and Castles, iOS and other mobile platforms. The popular collectible card and grid-based strategy game has been polished and a ton of additional features have been introduced, marking this one of the biggest updates ever. Current unit and spell balancing have been optimized and gameplay is faster paced. Additionally, matches are more intense and time efficient, giving a better experience for the user.

Before this update, building a two faction deck was normal practice since players could choose from a bigger pool of faction-specific cards. Thanks to the introduction of “Mono-factions”, players who opt to build single-faction decks now have access to exclusive new Hero Cards that are extremely powerful, redesigned versions of legendary cards. Mono-faction decks are now viable and competitive alternatives to their traditional dual-faction counterparts. Streamlined deck construction now created a more efficient deck-building experience, allows players to cut the deck building time in half.

While there’s plenty more content available in the update, these are the main highlights.
