What genre is Uncharted: Fight for Fortune classified as?

Uncharted: Fight for Fortune is classified as a digital collectible card game.

Released for the PlayStation Vita in 2012, Fight for Fortune is a spin-off rather than a conventional third-person adventure. Players build and deploy decks of cards based on characters, scenes and objects from the Uncharted universe. Matches are turn-based: cards occupy battlefield slots, attack opposing cards or the opponent, and use attack, defense and special effects to reduce the enemy’s health to zero.

The cards belong to three factions—Heroes, Villains and Mercs—and treasure cards can modify their abilities. The game was developed by Bend Studio and One Loop Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Bend had also made Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the Vita.

The most likely confusion is with “turn-based strategy,” which describes how the game plays but not its primary catalog genre. Fight for Fortune is turn-based, yet its defining format is a digital collectible card game. It also differs sharply from the action-adventure gameplay associated with the main Uncharted titles.
