Zold:out is a free-to-play gacha tactical RPG that launched on Steam on October 20, 2023, though it had been running on mobile servers prior to that (the Steam launch coincided with the game's second anniversary celebration). The game is built around a classic live service structure: rotating limited-time story events, new characters introduced through gacha banner pulls (including paid SSR-tier characters), seasonal login bonuses, and ongoing rewards systems. This model is designed by nature to continue indefinitely.
The developer has shipped a steady stream of major content events since launch: a Magical Girls sequel event (August 2023), the Grove Realm Adventure (September 2023), Vivian's Charming New Threads (October 2023), a second-anniversary celebration event with a new limited SSR character (October 2023), a pirate-themed story event (November 2023), and a hunting competition event with two new characters (March 2024). A November 2022 development roadmap also outlined several planned systems including a full Sewer Dungeon mode, Adventure Chapters (story content purchasable in a DLC-like format), and the Phantasmagoria Tower challenge mode — the Tower was referenced as implemented in a March 2024 patch note, confirming ongoing delivery against that roadmap.
The most recent developer communication in the dataset is from March 15, 2024, which is consistent with the game's update cadence — it does not represent a meaningful silence given the frequency of updates observed across the game's history. The game's gacha-driven, event-rotating design makes it a sustained live service product.

About this game
The story of Zold:out begins in an unknown weapon store in Ozin Port, where a merchant and a weaponsmith meet and set out on a journey to sell weapons. Along the way, they encounter the collapse of Emerus City, which reveals the secret of a cabal from another world.
Zold:out combines elements of tactical RPGs, card games, and deck building to create a unique gameplay experience. Players can choose from four weapon classes, each with their own unique set of weapon cards, providing a wide range of tactical options.
The core gameplay revolves around the use of action points and cards. Each character has 12 action points that can be spent to perform actions in battle. The number of action points remaining will affect the duration of subsequent rounds. Players can choose to spend all of their action points at once to deal massive damage, or save some action points for more flexible movement and strategy. The choice is yours to make as you control the battle style of your characters.
Players can access a wide variety of weapon cards with unique powers, and use these cards to craft their own decks. Each card can be paired with different characters, allowing for a wide range of tactical possibilities and strategies. As players progress through the game, they can forge more weapon cards and continue to refine their decks, searching for the perfect combination of cards and characters to achieve victory. Deck building adds an extra layer of depth and customization to the gameplay, allowing players to truly make the game their own.
Non-grid battlefield allow players to devise strategies and tactics beyond the limitations of traditional grid-based gameplay. With the ability to move freely across the battlefield, players can use more precise and meticulous tactics to outmaneuver their foes and achieve victory.
Zold:out features a range of unique bosses and monsters that have been carefully designed by the development team. Players will need to think strategically and adjust their tactics and teams to the characteristics of each boss in order to emerge victorious. Simply leveling up your status won't be enough to defeat these powerful foes - you'll need to find your own way to overcome the challenges they present and come up with creative solutions. The game encourages players to think outside the box and use their skills and cunning to emerge victorious against even the toughest opponents.
