A downloadable game

Deckbuilder where you learn languages but with hardcore gameplay. Something akin to Darkest Dungeon but with educational elements seamlessly integrated, so they never distract from the core loop and tactical fun.

Here is how the mechanics actually work:

The game features several quiz variations for learning words. Every time you play a card, a micro-quiz pops up. Answering correctly enhances the card's effect, while a wrong answer weakens it.

For Attacks: You need to swipe your finger in the direction of the correct answer.

For Defense/Buffs: You drag and drop the correct answer directly onto your character to complete the action.

During Enemy Turns: There's a dynamic chance to dodge incoming damage if you quickly answer a reflex quiz correctly.

To keep the game fast-paced and truly feel like a tactical roguelike, each quiz is snappy and takes no more than 4 seconds to complete.

Game is in active developing. It designed for smartphones in portrait mode. I’m putting this out there to finally show it to the public and start building a community around it.

Comments, feedback, suggestions, and throwing mud are all highly welcome! The core concept of learning via gaming isn't entirely new, but what do you think of this specific implementation and the combat dynamics?
