Dark Sky

I really wanted to like this game because the story and the environment and especially the character designs are cool. The mechanics of the game are fundamentally sound, but I'm approaching the midway point and the battles have become a slog. The amount of damage party members do barely scale and the best way to take down characters is to attempt chaining the status effects that still aren't explained fully in the tutorial codex. I'm not winning battles because I feel like my deck has improved or focused in any meaningful way despite upgrading as much as I possibly could. I'm winning because I keep retrying the battles (not even boss battles, just regular mid-quest battles where my party members may not start with full health) and taking advantage of the infinite revival mechanic for downed characters and winning via attrition. The deck-building aspect is weak compared to most other deck-building games because there's a more limited pool of cards to choose from. Right now in my game every character has a pool of roughly 10 cards with branching upgrades to choose from, so the flexibility is still limited. And watching as enemies (who also have multiple resistances) throw AOE attacks that can stun or apply vulnerable, I can't help but feel annoyed that the enemy grunts are just having a better time than I am now.

Pretty nice Card Battler. The Game oozes Character, especially with Norton playing off pretty much everyone. That Goofball is just too likeable. The Battles are pretty decently balanced and the different Characters have interesting synergy between them. Give it a try!

Jogo simples e rápido de zerar mas com uma mecânica de luta muito boa

Все как обычно,тактики нет.Вся сложность в том что противников больше,здоровья защиты больше,чуть ли не ко всему иммунитет. Вариаций колод почти никаких,прокачка карт скудная и не интересная

Great game so far

Приятная карточная игра, в которой вы не просто передвигаетесь по схематичному маршруту, а бегаете по локациям, исследуя их. И это оправдывает себя, поскольку можно найти что-то весьма полезное. Кроме того, в игре есть сюжет, уникальный мир и оригинальный визуальный стиль. Битвы могут быть довольно непростыми, так что, не хватает "сюжетного"режима сложности. В остальном все очень нравится.

Dark Sky, developed by Ganymede Games and published by Midwest Games, is a refreshing take on the increasingly crowded deckbuilding genre. Instead of relying on endless roguelike loops, it presents a structured, story-driven adventure that combines tactical positioning, character progression, and card-based combat into a cohesive experience. Set on the troubled world of Wolf Prime, the game invites players into a universe that has been irrevocably changed by a mysterious celestial event. Ships have fallen from the sky, settlements have become isolated, and an unsettling force lingers across the landscape. From the opening moments, the game establishes an atmosphere of curiosity and impending danger, encouraging players to uncover the truth behind the planet's downfall. The story centers on Squig and Norton, two ordinary workers whose lives are disrupted by extraordinary circumstances. Their journey evolves from a simple survival tale into a larger quest involving ancient mysteries, unlikely alliances, and the future of Wolf Prime itself. Throughout the campaign, players recruit additional companions, each contributing unique abilities and personalities that enrich both the narrative and gameplay. The writing succeeds in making the cast feel memorable, and while some plot developments follow familiar RPG traditions, the setting itself remains engaging enough to keep players invested through its many twists and revelations. Combat serves as the game's strongest feature. Dark Sky combines tactical movement with a card system that rewards planning and experimentation. Positioning units on the battlefield can be just as important as selecting the right card, creating encounters that feel dynamic rather than repetitive. Every character possesses a customizable deck that can be expanded and modified through branching upgrades, allowing players to develop specialized strategies. Some builds emphasize crowd control and elemental effects, while others focus on direct damage or support capabilities. This flexibility makes assembling a party particularly satisfying, especially as players discover powerful combinations between team members during longer battles. Unlike many deckbuilders that reset progress after each run, Dark Sky embraces persistent progression. New abilities, improved cards, and stronger party compositions carry forward throughout the adventure, reinforcing the feeling of embarking on an epic journey rather than repeatedly starting over. Exploration also plays an important role, with Wolf Prime offering hidden locations, environmental details, and optional discoveries that provide additional context for the world's history. The game's visual style may not be technically groundbreaking, but it effectively captures the bleak beauty of its setting. Combined with a fitting soundtrack and expressive character artwork, the presentation delivers a consistent sense of identity from beginning to end. There are, however, a few shortcomings that prevent Dark Sky from reaching its full potential. Certain sections of the campaign can feel slow, particularly when dialogue-heavy moments interrupt the momentum established by combat. Enemy variety occasionally falls short during extended play sessions, and some card combinations appear significantly more effective than others, which can reduce the incentive to experiment once players discover particularly strong builds. These issues do not severely diminish the experience, but they are noticeable enough to keep the game from standing among the genre's absolute best offerings. Ultimately, Dark Sky succeeds because it understands the strengths of both tactical RPGs and deckbuilders without becoming overly dependent on either. It offers a handcrafted adventure with meaningful progression, strategic combat, and a compelling setting that leaves a lasting impression. Ganymede Games demonstrates considerable ambition with its debut title, delivering an experience that feels thoughtfully designed and confident in its identity. Players looking for a narrative-focused game that blends strategic decision-making with role-playing elements will find plenty to appreciate beneath Wolf Prime's ominous skies. Rating: 7/10

El arte del juego es hermoso pero el sistema de combate es muy aburrido.

.Juego con dificultad alta.
