Mystery: Legends of the Beyond is a browser-based online collectible card game with RPG elements, created by the Mystery Team.
In Mystery: Legends of the Beyond, players must embark on a path of magic and prove, as battle mages, that they are the finest and most skilled experts in scrolls and spells. Players spend most of their time in combat. No matter where the fight takes place, it is always one-on-one—a duel. Other players cannot interfere, but they are welcome to watch the battle from the sidelines.
Mystery: Legends of the Beyond is a turn-based game in which players have a limited amount of time to take their turn. If, for any reason, you fail to cast a spell, attack, or click the End Turn button in time, you lose. You also lose if one of the duelists is killed.
A player who is losing can surrender to their opponent, but in practice, this changes nothing. The defeated player loses money and health. Health recovers over time, and the best place to wait is an inn, where the health bar refills faster.
Each side has a certain amount of energy to cast spells and summon various creatures. The amount of energy also depends on the character’s level and the artifacts they possess. Even the slightest advantage over an opponent in this regard can be a first step toward victory.
In Mystery: Legends of the Beyond, battle mages can summon various creatures (up to five) to help them on the battlefield. Most of them focus on fighting similar minions summoned by the opponent. Some summoned creatures ignore the enemy mage’s helpers and attack the mage directly. Summoning creatures, like casting spells, automatically ends your turn. However, if a player uses artifacts before casting spells, they can continue their turn.
Players start the game with spells: four scrolls for each element. If they want to learn something new or more powerful, they can buy scrolls at the mages’ towers. Each player has their own spellbook, where they keep all their scrolls. A spellbook can hold up to 120 scrolls, 20 for each element. There are around 240 scrolls in the game in total.
Players can fight not only in the arena, in clan battles, or during castle sieges, but also in areas known as the Outskirts. There, they face mobs that drop money and rare artifacts. The game also features various bosses who are difficult to defeat, but offer much greater rewards for victory.
