Tactical Battlefield

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Counterplay Games has announced that its collectible tactics game
DUELYST has officially launched and is available to download for free at www.duelyst.com
for both PC and Mac. DUELYST brings your assembled armies to life with
tactical combat and the joys of endless deck building, in matches that
last between five to ten minutes. The game offers players a dynamic
living game that relies on thoughtful decision-making and game-shifting
new battle units every month.

DUELYST is accessible to all players by offering various competitive
modes including Ranked Season Ladder with five skill Divisions, practice
mode to hone your skills against AI opponents, Solo Challenges, in-game
tournaments and the Draft Mode known as The Gauntlet.

Featuring distinct and strikingly beautiful character designs and game
environments created by lead artists Glauber Kotaki (Rogue Legacy,
Chasm) and Christophe Ha (Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Diablo III)
and a veteran game design team, including creative director and producer
Keith Lee (Diablo III, Ratchet & Clank) and distinguished
board game designer Eric Lang (XCOM, Blood Rage, Dice Masters,
Warhammer, Game of Thrones, The Others: 7 Sins, Bloodborne).

“Counterplay Games brought together creative minds from around the video
game industry to create our skill-based collectible tactics game
DUELYST,” said Keith Lee, CEO and co-founder of Counterplay Games. “Our
goal for DUELYST is to be compelling at the highest levels of play while
remaining accessible to brand new players. Part of that strategy is to
offer gamers short bursts of play along a smooth skill-curve so that
players can invest in the long term metagame for many years to come.”

With the official launch of DUELYST also comes the release of the game’s
first opening cinematic. In the short-film, players will get a chance to
see one of their favorite DUELYST Bloodborn Generals like never before.
