For $5? Absolutely worth it. For $70? Maybe not. Still really fun and well made game. The DLC makes you think lots of cards need to be bought, but you actually don't need to. You can get most cards in the game, DLC is not needed to have fun.
If you plan to play this game just for the online leaderboards, not only are you wasting your time due to a lot of players moving to Dear Days 2, but the amount of DLC you need to even become "meta relevant" is going to ruin you financially. And no, I don't recommend getting Dear Days 2 either, it has the same problems as this first game & MORE... But if you have no other way of playing the card game &/or just want to play the story, then don't let me stop you.
Wanted to like this game. I was a Vanguard player back when it first comes out. The new mechanics are interesting and there are thousands to cards to collect. But that's where all the praises end. The story is barebone, it's nothing, might as well not be there. The characters in the story are walking tropes, their design are not even interesting. And the CPU battles are problematic. This is because Vanguard is fundamentally a game of chance. Every trigger is an advantage, a calculated + and - that adds up. And you can build your deck or play your game based on the building of these + and - and plan strategically in receiving attacks, etc. But the CPU blatantly ignore chances and calculations to force triggers and put players in advantageous position (early game enemies do not get triggers) or disadvantageous position (late game enemies will get triggers, even if, technically, the chance of them getting them would be super low). This is essentially breaking the balance of the game to favour the CPU or the player too hard, making the grind against the CPU characters unfun. Also, the multiplayer is dead. If you are going to have achievements that are tied to multiplayer, at least have the decency to give alternatives means of obtaining them. And the DLC practice for this game is... wow... greedy much?
**Truly a Game for Cardfighters** I started watching CfV Season 1 when Yu-gi-oh no longer scratched the itch for me. Someone told me that CfV is a commercial but a very good commercial. He was right. I bought this game for $80 CAD. This will not be a game for all. Buy it if you love CfV because it will scratch that itch perfectly, as my playtime should indicate. The game could do with more explanation of certain mechanics and the DLC is a racket. But the base game is well worth the money if and only if you're a fan of the anime. And FYI, all the DLC cards are available in the second game. I plan to pick it up. Contrary to what the Steam page says, the game is playable on Steam Deck as long as you don't bring up any prompt that requires you to type. Very happy with Dear Days.
Good way to learn how to play Cardfight Vanguard if you are like me and was curious. So I would recommend it on that basis alone assuming you get it at a good price (definitely not worth it at full price, I got it at like 92% off). Given that most of the card sets are locked behind DLC, I can't really recommend getting the game if you are interested in more than just learning how to play the game like I was. Might as well get the sequel game that has more cards if so. The story difficulty curve is rather interesting, there were a couple of points in it where I felt like I hit a difficulty spike and had to really think about deck comps in order to counter play them, so kudos to the game for not making things too easy.
Truly atrocious. The Ai's chances to get a trigger during their turns are just boosted to an insane degree that it does not matter whether you're playing normal or hard mode. The trigger rates on your end on the other hand are just bad that you are likely to draw trigger cards at moments you don't need them, it is just so bad. In addition, some cards are locked unless you pay for them with real money. Moreover, the story is pretty bland, they even made it way sloppier to read from the start of the overdress series/anime. Overall, its a 4/10 for me despite the sale price.
I like vanguard, but HOLY SH!T the plot armor on these npcs are INSANE. I fought the main character from the show as a free roaming character on the map. I thought I was suppose to be the F*CKING PROTAGONIST, NOT HIM. The amount of times the npcs get back to back triggers in a fight when they should be dead is crazy. Especially when you hit them like 6-8 times per fight and if you do manage to beat them it's barely. ONLY BUY IT ON SALE!
Oyun güzel, Lakin hiçbir Kart oyunu 70 dolar etmez usta.
