Description

Project Patron is a turn-based strategy game that adds a new dimension to the classic fantasy card game. You play as the mortal agent of an otherworldly demon, doing your patron’s bidding in exchange for powerful magic. Your patron provides you with the cards and powers to summon more fiendish creatures, slay your enemies, and twist the souls of the dead to your cause. In Project Patron, you’ll learn how good it is to be bad.

History

Fiends of Eden came together as a team of seven game design students in their final year of study at Queensland University of Technology, with Project Patron being the team’s first release title. As a group creating our debut title, our major goal was to create something that we could all collectively enjoy. This pushed us towards the direction of a card game, a genre we each have some personal history with.

However, our own enjoyment wasn’t all we were looking to get out of Project Patron and going into it the group decided early on that another of our primary ambitions would be to put a spin on the regular digital card game genre. This led us to the idea of introducing a game board similar to those found in strategy and tabletop role playing games. Through the use of traditional card game mechanics and the strategic element introduced by the game board we hoped it would provide our players with a gameplay experience they’ve never seen before!
