The original Duelyst was one of my favorite games ever and an easy recommend. That company went under and the assets were released. Multiple companies have recreated the game now. There are at least 2 on Steam: Duelyst 2 and Duelyst GG.

Whats the difference?
Duelyst 2 is the original Duelyst from 2016 monetized. You need to pay or play to unlock the cards. It has a "draw 2" mechanic every turn and has removed the bloodborn spells (awful changes IMO). The UI is polished just like Duelyst 1.
NOTE: Duelyst 2 has added a "legacy" mode where all cards are unlocked and the generals have their bloodborn spells. Although an infinitely superior version of the game, it is hidden and many of the cards with identical names are different making this a very confusing play experience.

Duelyst GG is the original Duelyst with expansions and NOT monetized. All cards are unlocked from the start. Generals have bloodborn spells and the usual draw 1 mechanic is in place. However, the UI is not polished.


Duelyst 2's monetization scheme makes no sense and will not work, so be wary of spending your money.....just play legacy...
