Hex Reverse features a small, focused set of systems rather than a long list of modes. The store page organises them around four ideas: territory battles on a hexagonal grid, roguelike deckbuilding, skills and field conditions, and permanent progression between runs.
Battle and Board Features
Battles take place on a field of 19 hexagonal spaces, where you and your opponent take turns placing cards. Each card has six values, one for each side, and when you place a card next to an opponent's, the values on the touching edges are compared; a higher value flips the opposing card to your side. The result is a territory-control game where position matters more than a single card's numbers, and where a well-placed card can convert several neighbours at once.
Skills, Elements and Battle Conditions
The store page states that cards are defined by more than their six values. It lists SP as the resource for skills that can strengthen cards, change their element, weaken opponents, draw additional cards or alter the flow of battle, and it adds that special rules and unique field conditions can change how each battle plays out. Those condition changes are why the same deck can face a different problem from one battle to the next.

Roguelike Structure, Progression and Launch Pricing
Each run is a series of battles, and after each win you pick one card from a selection taken from the opponent's deck, adding it to the current run deck. When a run ends you return to your base, where the store page says you can build and refine saved decks, buy and sell cards, fuse cards into stronger ones and upgrade equipment for permanent progression before taking on increasingly difficult Rifts. On top of that, the launch offer makes the game free during the first 30 days after release, with permanent access kept if you add it to your library in that window.
