Destiny Code News

Hello everyone,

We wanted to let you know that the Early Access release of Destiny Code — our card-battle RPG featuring beautiful girls — has been delayed from October 2025 to sometime in 2026.
*The release date listed on the store page will be updated soon.

The recently released demo brought a ton of very valuable feedback, and after carefully reviewing your responses, we realized the current version still needs more depth and polish to fully reach our creative goals.

While Early Access games are, by nature, still works in progress, we believe that if players are supporting us with their time and money, we need to deliver an experience that feels worth it. Since Destiny Code isn't quite there yet, we've decided to push back the release date. In the meantime, we'll keep developing, improving the demo, and implementing your feedback as we work toward the version of Destiny Code we want everyone to experience.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who's been looking forward to the start of Early Access, and we truly appreciate your patience, feedback, and continued support.

■ Destiny Code Card Battle Tips

(1) Basic Rules

Battles are fought using cards — each card represents an Art.
The party requires Actions to use Arts each turn! (5 Actions are given per turn)
Characters need AP points to use Arts.
(All characters recover 1 AP at the start of each turn!)
Make the most of your actions and AP each turn to defeat the enemy!

(2) Aim for Breakdowns!

The fastest way to defeat enemies is by inflicting Breakdown!
Reduce their Break Count to trigger Breakdown, stopping them from acting and increasing the damage they take.
If you inflict Breakdown on all enemies, your damage will skyrocket!

(3) How to inflict Breakdown?

Use Strike Arts (Red attack cards) to execute Art Impacts and deal Break damage! (Land your attack in the red zone to trigger an Art Impact!)
Each time you trigger an Art Impact, the enemy's Break Count decreases. When their Break Count reaches 0, they will enter Breakdown.
That's when you go for the kill!

(4) Let's get Superior Arts in the Chain!

The higher your Art's Chain Rate (%) is, the greater your chance to trigger a Chain and obtain a Superior Art!
Superior Arts consume more AP, but they're also more powerful! Manage your AP wisely and try them out!

(5) Protect your allies with AC (Armor Class)!

AC (Armor Class) plays a crucial role in reducing damage from enemy attacks!
The more AP you have at the start of your turn, the more AC you'll recover.
Some Support Arts (blue auxiliary cards) can also boost your team's AC. Keep this in mind and stay ready for enemy attacks!

(6) Spirit Arts can be a trump card!

When selecting an Art, you can access character-specific Spirit Arts by choosing the yellow (X) Spirit Card!
Spirit Arts can only be used once per battle, but they're powerful enough to turn the tide!
Use them when the time is right!

(7) Adapt your tactics to the battlefield!

You can choose to break all enemies, focus on a single target, boost your team's AC to withstand attacks, and more! There is no one-size-fits-all strategy!
Flexibility and resourcefulness are the keys to victory!

The full early access launch of Destiny Code is well underway!
