Warnel Chawpiovs has reached version 1.1.0, bringing a fresh homebrew update to PC and Nintendo Switch. The PC side now covers Windows, Linux, and MacOS builds, while the Switch release continues to offer a portable way to try the game on homebrew-enabled hardware.

This release is centered on new card content from The Mad Titan’s Shadow, along with the Captain America Hero Pack. In practical terms, that means three new heroes have joined the game: Adam Warlock, Spectrum, and Captain America. The update also adds five new scenarios, giving solo players more villains and setups to work through.

The update is not only about bigger names on the card table. Several card bugs have also been fixed since the previous release. For a fan-made card game project, those small fixes matter a lot: each corrected interaction can make a match feel smoother, cleaner, and closer to the intended flow.

How To Play

On PC, the setup is straightforward. Download the correct binary package, extract it anywhere on your computer, and run the game file. On Windows, the file is WC.exe. On Linux, the file is WC.x86_64. The available builds now include Windows, Linux, and MacOS, so most desktop players have a native option.

On Nintendo Switch, the process is also simple if you are already familiar with homebrew folder layouts. Extract the WC folder inside the switch folder on your SD card, then launch it from your homebrew setup. A screenshot from the Switch version shows the game running on Nintendo’s handheld, which gives this release a nice old-school homebrew showcase feel.

Once inside the game, choose “Sivgle Player,” pick one hero, pick one villain, and press launch. The game supports playing alone with one or multiple heroes. There is also a multiplayer mode, but it comes with a very clear warning: multiplayer does not exactly work right now, so it should not be treated as the main way to play.

Current Notes From The Release

  • Playing with more than one hero is not recommended at the moment, mainly for performance reasons.
  • Gameplay example videos are available for players who want to see how matches work before jumping in.
  • Binaries can be downloaded directly or from the project’s GitHub page.
  • Players who badly want online Marvel Champions-style play with friends may want to look at Marvel Champions Digital Edition, another unofficial fan game that is described as doing a great job with that experience.

There is still plenty left on the road map. Multiplayer support has been set aside for now, though getting it working in the long run would still be welcome. The current focus is adding more cards that are enjoyable with a solo hero. A shorter-term goal is to streamline asset downloads so the game does not get stuck for hours at startup. For now, version 1.1.0 looks like a content-first update: more heroes, more scenarios, and a cleaner card base for anyone following this homebrew project.
