About the game

Mixed Martial Cards is mixed martial arts themed 1v1 strategy card game, featuring deckbuilding, PvP and PvE elements.

Fighting game with cards

Mixed Martial Cards is an upcoming 1v1 strategy card game, with both PvE and PvP action. Since it's a mixed martial arts based card game, you will fight with your deck. The deck might include jabs, roundhouse kicks, takedowns, arm bars and other iconic MMA moves. On the defense side, you can fortify your deck with dodges, slips, blocks and counters.

Build a personalized deck that matches your preferred fighting style.

Mind games and tactics

Like in a real fight, you need to use your smarts to get the upper hand during a match. As you familiarize yourself with your opponent's move sets, you can try to exploit their weaknesses.

A core mechanic in MMC are attack modes. Your attack can be a normal attack, a mighty full-power attack or a sneaky feint, and the opponent won't know which one it is until it's too late. Clever strategies allow you to bypass the opponent's guard and land those impactful big damage attacks.

Figuring out when and how to invest your limited card and stamina resources is the key to victory, and it all depends on your opponent's thinking, mood and ultimately their deck.
