Culdcept (カルドセプト, Karudoseputo) is a turn-based strategy video game, and the first game in the Culdcept series. It has drawn comparisons to other modern strategy titles, and also shares features with non-video games Monopoly and Magic: The Gathering. The game was initially released only in Japan for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation (as Culdcept Expansion), but was ported to the Nintendo DS in 2008 as Culdcept DS.
