Card City Nights

Bought it for 44 rubles in Feb 2014. Took me 11 years 6 months 2 weeks 4 days 23 hours 56 minutes to make myself beat it, as TCG is not really my genre, but this game is pretty nice

I was hoping that this game would scratch that single player TCG itch, but unfortunately it doesn't. There are 4 types of cards attack, def, neutral, and heal. Each card has little arrows which have to connect to other arrows so that they connect in a row of 3 or more, heal cards can do 2 or more, which wouldn't be so bad if the slog to get cards wasn't so annoying. The usual way to farm for packs is to beat opponents for packs but this is both annoying and boring. As at least for me in the start there are not enough cards to ensure a quick knock out. Many of the opponents decks have too much defense which forces you to either disable their field or to deck them out. Neither of which are fun, since the game plays so slowly. The initial cards are also boring most don't have any effect at all, which makes them deadweight until you get some on placement cards. Overall it feels more like a board game like catan rather than a TCG. I think that is my main gripe, their "breaking away from the fantasy TCG mold" only landed them into the wrong genre.

[h2]While the art style was strange to me, the gameplay was oddly familiar[/h2] These days I tend to avoid card battlers. Most of them feel bland or introduce some bizarre mechanic that turns the game into more of a chore than something fun to play. Card City Nights surprised me. The developer clearly has experience with trading card games because the gameplay feels surprisingly similar to Magic: The Gathering. It has enough strategy to keep things interesting without overcomplicating everything. I wasn't a fan of the art style at first. In fact, it almost put me off playing altogether. Thankfully, the gameplay won me over, and the fact that I was hopelessly addicted to 100%-ing games back then probably helped too. All in all, it's a solid little indie and one that I think is better than the majority of card battlers coming out today.

No pressure. Take your time, wander the city building up decks by defeating opponents for booster packs. You can play in a window if you want to multitask. With the right deck build and a little luck you'll own the city.

Fun little cardgame adventure with a lot of humor. I enjoyed it very much.

I just 100% the steam achievements on this game I would say that I enjoyed playing it! I really appreciate the game genre. There isn't a lot of deckbuilder-cardcollectiong-storymode games and I wish there were more! So that is a big plus. The experience of playing it was a bit up and down. I liked it to a start but after a while the Bo5 matches got a bit repetetiv and draged out on the time and it was a bit hard to make a deck that could put out enough damage to acctually dafeat someone in the beginning. But when you got a bit further into the game it got much better! This could be because I went with a defense deck in the beginning with the objective to stall the opponent but that was just becuase I didn't feel like there was any vaible attack cards but maybe after my fourth leagendery I switched to a heavy burst attack deck and that made it very fun!

Easy to learn fun little game.

8/10

Mainly played it to get all achievements but was pretty enjoyable considering i'm not into card games as much anymore.
