Claws & Chaos is an auto-chess-style battler featuring quirky creatures in dire circumstances. Build your team and hone your skills while battling across both story and PvP modes. Will you earn your place on the Ark?
The Claws & Chaos demo has been updated with a whole slew of updates, fixes, and balancing changes.
Please note that the demo is separate from the Rapture Mode playtest running Sept 26 to Oct 3. Rapture Mode will not be part of the demo, but we encourage you to join the playtest for the next week to try out this new mode.
[h1]Here are the patch notes for v0.45.15 of the Claws & Chaos demo: [/h1]
[h2]System updates:[/h2]
[list] [*] [b]New Matchmaking system[/b] incorporates more player metrics to better match up players and avoid lopsided engagements. Note that it is still possible to encounter teams that are luckier or feel difficult, but should happen much less.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]
[list]

[/list]
[h2]Roster Balances[/h2]
