Overview

About this game

Your cards are soldiers. Your deck is your army. Your fortress is the last thing standing.

Echo Bastion fuses tactical turn-based combat, tower defense pressure, and brutal deckbuilding into one grim siege.

Deploy. Command. Survive. Or fall — and lose everything.

   🏰 DEFEND THE LAST FORTRESS

The world is lost. Only Arx Ultima stands. In Echo Bastion, you command the last line of defense in a fusion of turn-based tactics, deckbuilding, and tower defense.

    🎴 BUILD YOUR DECK — AND THEN SURVIVE WITH IT

Every card in your deck is a living unit — soldiers, machines, or tactical support.
Deploy them to the battlefield and take direct control.
But beware: deployed cards are exhausted until they survive the mission. 

Unit cards can be used only once per skirmish.

After the Great War shattered the world, the earth split open. Levitating obelisks rose from scorched ground — massive, silent, and humming with infernal energy.  From them came the Fallen. Demonic. Unstoppable. Without mercy. They swept across what remained of mankind. Now, only one stronghold endures: Arx Ultima. You are the final commander. Deploy your deck. Defend the bastion. Survive the siege. Or be erased with the rest.
