Cards with Personalities

An enjoyable little single player deckbuilding game that can be played on lunch breaks but still has some depth. Worth a purchase if you enjoyed the Pico-8 version, this version has some notable improvements.

I've always been a sucker for PICO-8 games, and coincidentally, the original version of this was always one of my favorites! This version is better in some ways, but also is slightly worse in other ways. That being said, it sums up to being a great experience all around, and I really enjoyed my time with it. The positives: - The game has a very simple yet addicting gameplay loop, almost like Balatro mixed with a tabletop game. I was so enamored with the gameplay that I ended up accidentally marathoning the entire game in one sitting, including both sets of bosses and [spoiler]the secret superboss[/spoiler]. It really is a lot of fun. - Good difficulty curve ranging from easy to manageable to downright unfair (in a good way) - Very cute card art and UI The negatives: - The music in the original is a lot better, and it's replaced in this version by what I can only assume is stock music (possibly by Kevin McLeod?). It's not that much of a downgrade, but it is still a downgrade, so it's worth mentioning. - The rules are a bit obtuse at times, especially when it comes to the Mouth and how it operates, but it's still pretty easy to understand once you've played enough rounds. The neutral points: - The sprites are all upscaled from the PICO-8 version, and it's quite interesting to compare the two. - The second track of fights introduces new mechanics, which definitely help to shake things up during the harder refights. All in all, it's a great game! If nothing else, I'd at least recommend playing the original game, which you can find [url=https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36862]here.[/url] Excited to see this developer's next project! :D

1人用のデッキビルディングカードゲームです。基本的に戦いたいボスを選択して戦う方式。ボスも様々な能力を持ち、カードを捨てさせたり、特定の資源でしかダメージを与えられなかったり、進化したりと様々です。カードもドロー効果や墓地からカード回収できたり、回復したり、砦を作って敵の攻撃を防いだりとたくさんありますが、複雑な効果のカードはないので日本語非対応でも問題なく遊べると思います。ゲームモードもノーマルとハードモードで遊び方が少し変わります。個人的にはノーマルモードの方が難しかった。1試合時間も短めなので手軽に遊べます。 短い時間で手軽にデッキビルディングカードゲームを遊びたいならこれがおすすめです。

Fun take on deck building with a nice aesthetic and gamefeel :D

The Pico version was honestly better. The strategy is not very deep nor rewarding.

Played the pico 8 version. Really fun game!
