"What if we turned Slay the Spire into a gacha?" is a question no fan of the game has ever asked. The devs at Smilegate did ask this, though, and came up with Chaos Zero Nightmare, a gacha game with roguelike and cardbattler elements that also takes a page out of Darkest Dungeon's book.
Thanks to CZN's closed beta, we already know what the game looks like before it's released globally on Oct. 22. Just like in your average gacha, your goal is to battle monsters in a series of stages across multiple game modes, from the main story to a roguelike mode that resembles Slay the Spire. You build your team with three characters and use Action Points to play their cards, which can damage enemies or affect your team with buffs, healing, and other effects.
