Could you build this?
Partial The deck builder, character lore flow, and mobile UI are vibe-codeable, but ranked live PvP against players worldwide needs real-time multiplayer infrastructure, matchmaking, and anti-cheat, and the card balance needs iterative playtesting.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a mobile client (Unity or React Native), an LLM call to turn lore into a 28-card deck with validated game rules, and a server-authoritative game engine. The hard parts are real-time multiplayer sync with reconnection, skill-based ranking and matchmaking, and balancing a card pool that players can exploit. That requires backend and game-design experience plus live-ops tooling.
