ABSOLUT CINEMA
即便我认为邪恶冥刻的玩法比较平庸,但他的叙事层面的设计实在充满创意,他确实是一部独具气质且无可替代的作品
Esse jogo é basicamente uma lição de como fazer uma obra de arte dos videogames, é simplesmente inacreditável o quão esse jogo é bom. Defeitos? Talvez não tenha, agora seguindo com as qualidades: A gameplay é fenomenal, o jogo te ensina apenas bem do básico, o resto você tem que deduzir, ex: o número da esquerda é o dano e o da direita é a vida, ponto, o resto, você vai entendendo sozinho praticamente, e no começo, você acha que vai ser só aquilo, só que o jogo te surpreende com tudo que ele apresenta depois, não vou falar tanto para não dar spoilers, mas depois o jogo muda completamente seu formato e vira uma doideira. O jogo é dividido em 3 atos, e cada um tem sua gameplay e ambientação também, eu diria que o melhor é exatamente o primeiro, e que caso você se decepcione com os próximos atos, continue jogando pois é incrível e engraçado da mesma forma. A ambientação e visual pra mim é o que mais de destaca, o jogo tem uma estética muito única sendo um colírio para os olhos, tudo magnífico, as cores, misturando também com a trilha sonora impecável dos chefes e níveis, é algo realmente prazeroso de jogar. A história também não deixa nada a desejar, é muito boa e bem feita, a tradução para o português é excelente, tem até sotaque nos personagens, realmente, é um trabalho muito bem feito. E o que tem depois de zerar? Simplesmente um modo "infinito", basicamente você pode jogar quantas vezes quiser e ficar testando diversas estratégias com vários desafios novos, compensa demais. Sem dúvidas, é uma experiência única, e que mesmo depois de zerar você consegue continuar jogando, absurdamente bom, talvez o melhor jogo que já joguei na estratosfera. TALVEZ, o único defeito seja não ter um modo online, porque ia ser uma resenha do crlh.
Это моя самая любимая карточная игра, она прекрасна.

I love that you can play the same card game differently to get a different experience!
Одна из моих лучших игр , чем больше играешь тем сильнее начинаю разбираться во 2 мировой войне и бункере где он умер с колодой
прикольная игра
Words can't describe this game. Also... I can't describe this game. ... but, I like it. I like it a lot.
[h1] What is this game? [/h1] Inscryption is the indirect successor to "The Hex" and "Pony Island" - expanding upon the ARG Mullins-verse. This game has you play as Luke 'The Lucky Carder' - a youtuber who happens to stumble upon a mysterious floppy disk that seems to have a will of its own. [h2] Price/replay value [/h2] Horrible - Bad - Decent - Good - [u] Amazing [/u] [h2] Achievement hunting [/h2] Akin to Mullins games - there's [i] a ton [/i] of missables and secret related ones. A lot of these can be quite challenging, but not impossibly difficult with a guide and proper setup. By far and large the hardest are Kaycee's mod related - having you go through a gauntlet of challenging (and often unfair) fights to barely scrape your way to victory. Skull storm especially is the hardest by miles. [h2] Pros/cons [/h2] [b] Pros [/b] [list] [*]Tons of replay value (Kaycee's mod is a roguelike mode) [*]Tons of secrets and an entire ARG (granted solved by now) [*]Solid story with fun characters [/list] [b] Cons [/b] [list] [*]Kaycee's mod can get very rng heavy [*]Fair hand mechanic makes most 1 blood cards unplayable [/list] [h2] Overall opinion [/h2] I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I played through the main story a few years ago and had a blast uncovering all the secrets and little extras. Recently picked it back up to finish Kaycee's mod, and whilst it wasn't always "fair" - I did still enjoy most runs and overall would say the game retains its replayability and overall enjoyment. It's also fun to see what broken combos you can make in the main acts as this game allows you to do a lot of silly stuff. Highly recommend to all the patient gamers who haven't played it yet. [h2] tldr; [/h2] Fun puzzle card game with wacky balancing. [h2] Should you buy it? [/h2] Highly recommend you do.
