Приятная игра с нереальным визуалом! Оформление, цветовая гамма, сами картинки, шрифты это выше всяких похвал - глаза будут ликовать. Звуковой дизайн мне тоже понравился, поддерживает загадочную атмосферу. Игра с уникальным геймплеем, представляющим из себя микс игры Мемори, Покера с механиками рогалика, с картами Таро и знаками зодиака. Звучит безумно? Но это так и есть! Порог вхождения у игры, несмотря на простоту с первого взгляда, достаточно высокий! Поначалу было сложно разобраться, что именно от меня хотят, даже при наличии обучения, Русского языка в игре нет и часть непонятна из-за специфических слов. Сразу скажу, что с картами я абсолютно не знакома, и совсем не понимаю, что с чем стакается. Опытным путём поняла, что надо собрать самую выгодную руку как в покере, типа две пары, старшие карты итд. Плюс в игре куча всяких проклятий, токенов, абилок...Первые несколько каток я вообще не могла набрать нужное количество очков для перехода на следующий этап. А когда более или менее втянулась - стабильно собирала с первого подсчёта. Ачивок пока в игре нет, так что играть только на интерес или в качестве тренировки памяти. Запоминать карты придётся и очень много. Для тех, кто не разобрался в игре. В начале выбираете проклятье и внимательно читайте, что оно делает, ибо они могут полностью менять геймплей. Вы должны сыграть все три проклятья, третья ходка будет самой злой, так что не оставляйте самое сложное проклятье напоследок, эффект будет сильнее. В начале смотрите несколько карт обычным способом, запоминается расположение, если есть - закрываете пары. Потом правой мышкой подглядываете пять следующих карт и быстро запоминаете. Закрываете пары и стакаете со своими ранее открытыми. Еще есть ульта, её можно использовать всего 1 раз. В итоге потом нажимаете на открытые карты, собирая самые удачные комбинации. Слева счетчик будет подсказывать, какая комба самая выгодная. Есть стаки по цветам, по старшинству итд. Если за один подсчёт хватит очков - вы перейдете на следующий этап. Там можно будет прикупить абилки, поставить метки на карты итд, что упростит следующий забег. Третий забег будет самым жестоким, так как проклятье будет действовать сильнее, допустим отнимет два хода вместо одного итд. Цель игры - набрать нужное количество очков (указано слева). Если у вас кончились ходы и подсчёты, а очки вы не набрали - ГГ. Может вы подберёте более оптимальную механику, особенно если у вас хорошо развиты логическое мышление и память в целом. В целом, если с памятью беда, будет весьма сложно играть. Хотя, из-за некоторых проклятий, которые перемешивают, убирают карты, держать в голове такое количество информации в какой-то момент становится нереально. Наугад натыкать и пройти всё равно не получится. Игра поначалу выбесила конечно, но не тем, что она плохая, а тем, что ничего не получалось. Но это абсолютно не оттолкнуло! Наоборот, вызвало азарт и желание разобраться. Эту игру я однозначно рекомендую, ни во что подобное я еще не играла! Это уникальный микс сразу из нескольких игр, каждая по отдельности вам знакома, но чтобы всё в одну запихать...это талант! Разработчику рекомендую как можно быстрее завезти в игру достижения и русский перевод текста. Играм без русского и ачивок я никогда не ставлю 10 баллов, поэтому пока... 8 аркан из 10
Very lovely game, I absolutely love the artwork, it's gorgeous ! The gameplay is really nice, with good elements of deck building, kind of rogue-like and memory. The Curses brings a nice twist to each game (couldn't manage to beat the Trickster yet hahaha it's so confusing) and the Zodiac brings a nice element of strategy that you can build upon, game after game. I was a bit confused with the first few games, but everything got clearer after reading the handbook, which contains more detailed instructions than the tutorial: I should probably have done that from the get go, it's not that long. I think I would appreciate to be able to access the handbook from the shop, so that I can refer to it before buying a card: as a new player, I'm not yet familiar enough with all the contents and mechanics to always make the best decision with my karma, though I'm sure that with a bit more experience, that wouldn't be a problem. Overall a nice game (I really appreciate that it comes from an indie studio in Europe <3), it could use a bit more explanations to my taste, but I might just not be familar enough with this kind of game, and the more I play, the more I understand the mechanics, which is also a fine way to learn, rather than having to read too much instructions from the get go :) Also the price is very decent, especially with the launching discount ! Great job to Reija, congratulations on this one !
A familiar memory game idea gets a smart poker style twist here. Matching pairs, building hands, and dealing with curses make the loop feel fresh and tactical, and it is the kind of game you come back to for 1 to 2 quick rounds between other games.
I had a very good time playing this game! I was first drawn to the art style and after trying was immediately hooked on the gameplay. It is a refreshing take on the classical memory game. Each round you can select a curse that will make the round more or less challenging. During the round, the goal is to reveal as much pairs as possible. Scoring is where it gets interesting as there are many ways to combine cards to achieve the highest score possible. At the end of the round, you can spend Karma points to get some perks to make the next rounds a bit easier and hopefully counterbalance the Curse. I really enjoyed playing Memoria Arcana, the rules are simple but the game is still challenging enough to make you want coming back for more.
Not bad not bad! Graphics are really nice <3 Style and mood are convincing and the game's system is a nice mix of memory and poker. Downsides: Needs a bit of a tutorial mode, since the Game throws all the systems at once at you which feels a bit like being thrown in the deep end. I also miss a progression system personally, but who knows what's still to come <3
This is nice! Feels truly like a nicer memory game experience. The poker mechanics add a nice depth to the game and its decently well communicated what gives points via a in game compendium and also while just preparing to hand cards in by looking at the score precalculation. Its quite fun to finagle as much points as you can out of your revealed cards! I do wish it had some more quality of life features like giving up on a game when it clearly can't be won anymore (happened to me a few time), and some polishing to make some things more visible. For example there's this one card effect that I can handily recommend this to anyone liking memory. People that enjoyed Balatro might even also get some enjoyment out of this since there are some similarities to how you can upgrade cards with stamps and how you can buy new powers to get multipliers higher. This is a game where your enjoyment truly comes from your own skill of memorisation, which makes it uniquely fun in a way any hard won game can be, but of course also presents some early difficulties when you haven't exactly built your brain up to remember all cards you have revealed so far. Not difficult to learn, especially not with some memorisation techniques, but definitely not something you would play when you are mentally exhausted. Then again, who am I to tell you how to relax after a stressful day. This is way too long anyway. Memoria Arcana is super affordable, great quality and can provide you with tons of fun. There's variety too, so go play it!
You easily lose track of time in this game. Nice design of the cards and overall of the game.
I really enjoy playing Memoria Arcana. The combination of memory game and building hands like in poker is not only creative but also incredibly engaging. While the memory aspect challenges your focus and recall, the poker element adds a layer of strategy and excitement that keeps every round interesting. What stands out most is how smoothly these two gameplay styles blend together. Neither feels out of place and they complement each other perfectly. The poker rounds bring tension and decision making into play, while the memory sections provide a refreshing change of pace and keep things dynamic. Highly recommend to try this game!
Such a magical atmosphere! Beautiful game with my favourite memory mechanic.
I was initially drawn in by the beautiful Art Nouveau style, but the gameplay is what kept me hooked. It’s meditative because of the memory aspect, but rewarding when you land a big combo using your Zodiac cards. It feels very polished and the "Curse" mechanics add a great level of variety to each run. And it feels like I only scratched the surface of possibilities the game is offering.
