Kingdoms of Age

I refuse to call this a game. The biggest issue? There's no functional singleplayer mode. At least, not unless you grant third-party software access to your computer—which I obviously declined. After that, the game endlessly searched for a match… without success. Why a singleplayer mode needs to "find a match" is beyond me. The entire experience feels incredibly barebones. Honestly, it comes off more like a half-baked scam than an actual game. There are no selectable singleplayer or multiplayer modes. No variety. Just two buttons: "Play" and "Exit". The only customization you’re given is picking a deck layout. To make matters worse, there's not even an "Options" menu. No graphics, sound, controls, or difficulty settings—nothing. During my 10 minutes of playtime, the same single music track looped on repeat and quickly became annoying. You're forced to build a 50-card deck… yet the game barely offers more than that in total. So forget experimenting or creating different strategies. As for card mechanics? There's no depth—no armor, no bleed, no mana steal, no health regen, no overdrawing... absolutely nothing of note. There are also no in-game purchases or currency, so expanding your deck isn't an option. I’m not even sure if you can earn new cards by playing—because, well, I never actually got to play. Verdict: Save your money. Go try a solid deckbuilder instead—"The Simulacrum" or "Shroom and Gloom" are far better choices.
