Cards of Heart

A beautifully crafted therapy session disguised as an epic battle against inner demons. Guiding Amalia as she turns grocery lists and tea recipes into radiant weapons of self-discovery is oddly empowering. Easy but fun gameplay and it's pretty entertaining to stack card combos together. Heartfelt and magical, play to slay Shadows while learning how to be kinder to yourself. Brilliantly made for a student project.

Игра 'Cards of Heart' зацепила меня своей необычной механикой и трогательным сюжетом. Поначалу разобраться в правилах построения колоды и комбинирования карт кажется сложноватым, но как только вникаешь, процесс затягивает с головой. Визуальный стиль, выполненный в мягких пастельных тонах, создает уютную атмосферу, а музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет происходящее на экране. Сюжетная линия, повествующая о взаимоотношениях между персонажами и необходимости делать сложные моральные выборы, цепляет за живое. Каждое решение имеет свои последствия, что добавляет реиграбельности и заставляет задуматься о ценности каждого момента. Несмотря на некоторую сложность в освоении, 'Cards of Heart' – это отличная карточная игра, которая сможет подарить вам не только часы увлекательного геймплея, но и пищу для размышлений. Рекомендую всем любителям карточных игр с глубоким сюжетом и оригинальной механикой.

In this case with cards. To break the review apart - there is the narrative and then there is the card play. The narrative follows Amalia, a girl from a simple village, and her struggles with negative feelings. With the help of a little shiny friend, the main character battles these emotions through self-understanding and self-acceptance. The dialogue is well written without ever sounding too condescending or snobby. It's uplifting but not excessively so and does the sensitive topic justice. The card play is cleverly woven into the narrative (writing thoughts and experiences as cards that serve as a reminder that not all is doom and gloom). But is the card play good? No. It's simplistic gameplay is a great vehicle to move the story forward as it's easy to learn, but it makes the combat tedious. Not only is the deckbuilding unsatisfying due to cards having simple and repeated effects, but the UI is also very slow. Playing one card per turn certainly enhances that feeling. All in all, the story was quite well and respectfully written considering the sensitive subject, but the cardplay is simplistic and repetitive. If you think you would enjoy the story about personal struggles, I recommend trying it. If you are here for the card play, this won't be a game for you.

Respectful take on a sensitive subject, only taken down by the unsatisfying card play. Recommended for the story 7.5/10.

Liked this game, especially the card mechanics and the art. Good concept too. Did have a crash at one point where I lost some progress, but was able to catch up again and finish the game.

Really touching, but soooo buggy :(

Poor writing and too much tutorial.
