Overview

FIVE STAT FRENZY! is a fast-paced card duel from developer and publisher ZELVANIX, released on October 16, 2026.

The game blends strategy, card game mechanics, and turn-based tactics into a compact, comic-book-styled package. Each match is a four-panel showdown where you and your rival choose cards and call one of five stats—POWER, SPEED, BRAINS, CHAOS, or CHARM—before revealing the panel.

The higher value wins, but the twist is that your opponent can see your candidates, trigger a Counter Window, and deploy file-specific tactics before the result is inked. It's a game of bluffing, reading your rival, and knowing when to play your best card.

Highlights

  • Five-Stat Duel System: Choose from POWER, SPEED, BRAINS, CHAOS, or CHARM each round, with visible candidates and a Counter Window that lets your rival react before the panel resolves.
  • Four-Panel Match Structure: Win three panels first to file the issue and advance deeper into the city's growing comic archive—a neat narrative hook that ties each victory to the world's lore.
  • Hand-Drawn Comic Book Aesthetic: The 2D cartoon and comic book art style gives every panel a lively, storybook feel, matching the game's theme of building a comic archive.

Who It's For

If you enjoy quick, strategic card battles with a layer of mind games, FIVE STAT FRENZY! should be on your radar.

The turn-based tactics and counter mechanics appeal to players who like to outthink opponents rather than rely on luck alone. The comic-book presentation and short match length make it a great pick for casual sessions, while the depth of stat calling and counter windows offers enough nuance for strategy enthusiasts.

Multi-player support means you can test your skills against friends or other players online.
