Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

IMPETO frames each run as a sequence of bowl fights in which the top’s remaining spin functions as its life total. Its assembly system uses a blade, ring, and tip, with 18 listed parts changing the top’s physical shape rather than merely modifying card statistics. Rooms add hazards including ice floors, TNT barrels, and pillars, while post-fight choices draw from 27 listed skills, stats, and relics.
