What is GATES OF KRYSTALIA?

Forget about encyclopedic rulebooks that feel like college textbooks. Gates of Krystalia breaks traditional TTRPG conventions with a card-based combat system that turns every battle into a strategic moment without losing the pace of storytelling.

This isn’t just another generic fantasy clone or dice-based system with a new setting. It’s a game built from the ground up to replicate the feel of a high-quality isekai anime, where gameplay and narrative are perfectly aligned.

THE SYSTEM THAT REVOLUTIONIZES TTRPGs

Our innovative card system using isn’t just a dice substitute, it’s a strategic and resource-based engine based on using poker cards:

Your deck is your life: Each player uses a standard 52-card poker deck to represent both health and available actions. Every card played generates fatigue, creating a unique layer of tactical tension where every choice carries weight. Each player should have their own deck, while the Deux uses one. You can use any standard deck (Poker Deck), or enhance your experience with the official Gates of Krystalia decks featuring custom artwork from the game.

Truly dynamic combat: Actions are simultaneous, even defenders play actively with their techniques, and can counterattack! No more waiting your turn while others act.

Strategy that you feel in your gut: Using your best cards for a massive hit will leave you vulnerable on the next turn, forcing you to think three steps ahead.

For RPG veterans: Forget “attack roll, damage roll.” Every clash is a tactical dance of bluffs, counters, and epic combos.

BEYOND COMBAT

Gates of Krystalia blends JRPG experiences with classic RPG storytelling:

Psychology & Corruption system: Your moral choices visibly impact your character, with trauma and corruption mechanics that can even spawn unique dungeons.
Kingdom Management with real purpose: Build your kingdom and gain resting areas that are essential to regenerate your deck.
Resource-based economy: It’s not just about coins. Gather and craft like in the best JRPGs, what you find in the world has real value.

From seeing the threads of fate to commanding the elements, these powers come at a price your soul may not be ready to pay.

FACE THE PRIMORDIAL ENEMIES

At the heart of each world, imprisoned in ancient seals, ten Divine Rank Primordials await in terrible silence. Each represents a cosmic force that shaped reality itself—beings so powerful they were locked away at the dawn of creation.

Now, whispers spread across the multiverse. The seals are weakening. One by one, these titans of unfathomable power stir in their prisons, their consciousness reaching out, corrupting everything they touch.

When these eternal forces break free to unleash chaos across all dimensions, only heroes who have ascended to the highest pinnacles of power stand a chance against them.

Will your party rise to this ultimate challenge, or will the multiverse fall before the might of beings who once shaped it?
