This was a fun game. Does require some thought planning wise to play. And dialog between the characters is worth clicking through for the laughs. I highly recommend looking through all the help/info information first -- especially on how the card play goes. Not all of the controlls are 100% intuitive -- but close enough. Stragety tip -- selecting your battle deck. Don't get stuck playing the same cards, you will but and find new ones as you go along and will need them, and the enemies get harder and harder to beat. Anything that takes down the enemies defense is worth it -- War Cry card is probably one of the best in the deck I have found so far for that. Overall -- enjoyed the game well worth the price. I hope the compan creates another game like this one. I can see it in various genre easily from pulp 1930's cops and robbers to space opera.
Greatly enjoyed the variety of battle cards and characters. Found it to be a fun game and was disappointed to finish it. Really wish their was another episode to play!
This is a fun strategy card game with a good RPG Element. Lots of cards to buy and work out how to play. Different characters and strategies appear possible through the game.
I almost didn't try this game after reading 1 really bad review, but I'm glad I read the other reviews. A few minutes into the trial and I knew I have to buy it. It reminds me of Darklands, an old RPG game, but simpler (since it's casual game), and what I adore is the story telling (beautifully written & the unexpected humor). I had a lot of fun doing the quests, and I like the strategic thinking required to get the attack/defense cards that I want, and later on get to upgrade my team with higher skills and hit points. Give this game a chance. I thank the Indie developers for giving me this few hours of adventure & laughter!
(Based on the demo) I found this card battle game to be an interesting addition to BFG's small library of rpg/strategy games (technically separate from time management games). The gameplay is simple, (though I suspect it will grow more complicated and difficult as the game progresses): you work your way across the map acquiring quests, and these quests in turn open new locations on the map. The quests can be simple 'fetch' quests or they can be battle quests, and occasionally you are given choices which may affect the course of the game. Upon completion of the quests, the player is given experience points, which are necessary to gain new character levels and -- in rpg fashion -- each new level unlocks stat points which can be used to boost the hero's offensive or defensive statistics. Battle is turn-based and consists of playing offensive, defensive, healing, and stat-boosting cards, most of which are randomly generated, and throughout the game new cards are made available for purchase either in the shops or by the completion of quests. Although the gameplay itself is different, fans of the wonderful 'Puzzle Quest' games will recognize several elements in play here, such as repeated visits to locations where new quests are generated as the story, and your participation, dictates. An interesting feature of this game is the occasional chests you stumble upon throughout the game, the contents of which are unlocked by solving an anagram riddle -- old-school gamers may recall this exact same feature from the 1993 Sierra RPG 'Betrayal at Krondor'. All and all, an intriguing and unexpected offering from Big Fish -- my curiosity is piqued and as soon as my monthly credit kicks in, I will be getting this one to do some further exploration.
Once you get the hang of this games card play based battle system it is really fun. Because you need good strategies to win the card battles this is challenging and it has really fun side quests and good storyline. Nice graphics and music give you a good all round experience without being intrusive or letting you down in any way. Definetly worth buying.
This is such a fun little game! Had hours of fun playing it through the first time and going back to play as a diferent character class now. If you aren't familiar with these types of games, give it a try and see how you do! If you have played these games before you will love this one. Funny little twists in dialogue had me smiling as well as references to '42' and The Discworld. I hope and pray to see more like this and maybe even a sequel! Well done BF and Devs! Thanks for the great game!
Loved this game. It has a great feel to it. Lots of dry humour and fun banter. Heaps of references to Sci Fi and fantasy books and pokes fun at itself and its limitations. The only draw back is that it is very short. All in all a very enjoyable game
I really hope that more like this will be created, different, fun and just enough like an RPG to please. Worth the time to get into it.
If you can persevere through the learning stage, this game looks great. Card/battle mechanics seem cloudy at first, but not too much is expected at the beginning. Characterisation is humorous. I'm expecting many hours of absorbing gameplay.
