Rivals: Seek and destroy!

[DrClick]

The year is 3229, and mankind has conquered the Milky Way, but the threat of conflict between clans is very real. The future of humanity is at stake and there's only one way to save your clan and your skin: win. Welcome to Rivals!
 
To prevent an all-out war, the Network, the supreme political council, has created the Wildtech: an ever-changing arena where each clan sends its champion, an Ashak, to fight for its future.
 
You are one of these champions. Your mission? Survive and claim victory. But don't get too comfortable: the Wildtech is constantly shrinking, and the ground beneath your feet can disappear at any moment!
 
Move across the arena, explore new tiles, collect crystals and resins, and use them to build up your abilities. Discover new cards, upgrade your deck, and get rid of the ones holding you back. The right combination can turn an ordinary Ashak into a formidable weapon…
 
You’ll want to make your opponents’ lives as difficult as possible: launch physical, psychic or explosive attacks, hack enemy drones, raise shields and use special abilities. Just try to stay one step ahead.
 
There are two ways to win: be the last Ashak standing or be the first to score 5 Rivals Points. Eliminate an opponent, negotiate with a sponsor or gather enough resources. Every route to victory is worth considering, and every turn could change the outcome of your fight.
 
Your clan is counting on you. The Wildtech is waiting. What will it take to become its champion?

Thanks to Léonard Ebel, Sami Jaafar, Baptiste Roux and Maxime Schio, the masterminds behind the Wildtech, and to Unkind Games, the clan bringing the game to life, for letting us welcome their arena to ours. And thanks to LeSteffen for making the BGA port happen!
 
This was your Wednesday release.
The Wildtech is waiting. Your opponents are ready. Your clan is counting on you. Take care and play fair.

Please, someone clarify this to me: Didn't this game have another look before? Or am I confusing it with a different one? I remember a game with "Rivals" in the name and its color palette was mainly of clearish blue with yellow typography. The doubt is killing me!

The tutorial is freezing up for me, on the card play after the combat step is done, where the tutorial says "this step is buggy, so I'll click on it for you", it just gets stuck in "Updating game situation". I believe it's around step 60 of the tutorial. Is anyone else having this issue?

I talked to Nekonyancer who made the tutorial. There is a bug in the game involving shields that needs to be resolved by the developers. The tutorial was NEVER meant to leave alpha as it couldn't be played but some admin put it into beta without even bothering to try out the tutorial to see if it works. Nekonyancer was mortified and told me that they would edit the first step in the tutorial warning people not to bother trying out the tutorial.

If that message is gone it might be working now where you can play through the full thing. If the message isn't there and it still is getting stuck then Nekonyancer just forgot to stick that message there letting people know not to use the tutorial. If that's the case I'd just try doing it every now and then as Nekonyancer seemed like they were going to finish polishing up the tutorial and getting it out there once the shield bug was fixed.

This game is amazing, I really loved it. Deckbuilding + battle royale + player elimination = high stakes. The interface needs some improvement yet (please fix ASAP), but this is great.
