Pairs & Perils

Match pairs is a cute concept for the premise of the game. Unfortunately, it's the same concept that causes this game's shortcomings. My memory is literally horrible so I am terrible at matching pairs, but the mechanic design of the game essentially eliminates the need for a good memory. Every time you match 3 pairs you redraw the same 6 cards. If you fail to match a pair, the timer on the enemies drop. When the timer hits 0, they attack. Conceptually, very simple and easy to grasp. In normal mode, the cards that you redraw are revealed before they are flipped over. This makes normal mode a complete joke because you can replay the same 6 cards infinitely. In hard mode, the cards that you redraw are not flipped over. However, you can still replay the same 6 cards infinitely. In the hardest difficulty, none of the cards are revealed and extra traps are added in, so this mode is completely left to chance, Even with a good initial deck, you're forced to take trap damage while struggling to heal it off, making this game mode not enjoyable. As a deckbuilding game, there is no incentive to even build a deck, because if you add just one more card to your deck, you'll redraw 8 cards instead of 6, making your run more difficult. There's even achievements for skipping all encounters except battles and beating the game without healing, so that gives you some idea of how broken the mechanics can be. I did enjoy this game, don't get me wrong - but because the gameplay feels so limited I have to lean more towards a no for recommendation. It's kind of a shame since it does seem like a lot of time and effort was put into making the game. If you don't mind the flaws, give it a try. It's a pretty fun game for a few hours.

Played once, beat once. You can get in a loop, where you make 3 matches, and the game will deal out 6 more cards to replace them, which will contain 3 more matches. From that point, as long as you only click on those 6 cards, you only have to remember 6 things.

its basically memory - that becomes pretty hard after a couple of rounds..

评分：1/5 评测：玩法挺有意思，但是不好玩呀。游戏是个“肉鸽+翻翻看”的结合，如果配对成功就可以进入连击继续翻牌，配对失败会进入对手回合攻击。以简单模式为例，除了初始会给出的10张基础卡面，之后每回合都会补充3组卡牌，然后每配对3套牌都会再补充3套牌，所以我们只要一直记那6张牌就行了，一直两两配对，根本就轮不到对方的回合，只要一直配对就算全是1点伤害也能慢慢磨死对手，毕竟根本轮不到对手行动。而如果记忆力特差啥都记不住，一直配对失败也就完全无法攻击，只能单方面挨打，肉鸽玩法设计的毫无意义。比如改成连击最多触发3次，配对成功伤害翻倍，失败伤害减半这种规则，可能更契合构筑类游戏的玩法吧。

This game is initially very fun. Seeing the cards briefly before they are flipped allows the player to memorize as much as they can and heavily rewards players that can do this well. To some extent, it might reward the player too much since they are able to complete an encounter without giving the enemy a single turn. To combat this, higher difficulties take away this ability to memorize cards at the beginning of a round. First you don't the see cards when you redraw, then you don't see them at all without stumbling around for a few moves first. This is not a good difficulty curve, as it trades the player's skill with complete luck. I got 2 encounters into my first hard mode run before I realized the game wasn't fun without this mechanic. There also doesn't seem to be much here. The encounters are pretty basic and most cards just increase or decrease a number. This feels like a demo or a very early access. If you really love match pair games and want a tiny bit of roguelike flair sprinkled on top, give it a shot, but it's not for me.

轻松惬意

玩了半場就覺得沒太多樂趣的配對小遊戲 可能會有點遊戲深度，但連連看這件事本身沒打到我

A cute, unique little roguelike, but its simplicity causes it to lack much replay value. I've beat the game on normal difficulty multiple times already at just a few hours in, and not once have felt much incentive to try different strategies or optimize my deck in any way. I rarely even look at the enemies' special abilities because they don't affect my strategy at all. I'm three hours in and only see myself playing for one or two more before shelving this one.

Poker, Black Jack, Remmy and now even Pairs. Yes, Pairs, a game where you reveal cards and try to match them. Not the most fruitful ground for deckbuilders, but Pairs and Perils kinda still pulls it off. Revealing pairs triggers ally attacks or other bonuses, while every mistake makes enemies closer to attack. The card effects help you cheat a bit by revealing other cards or marking traps, so it's not all about memory...but most of it is. Let's be honest, if you have bad memory, you will simply do worse at the game, especially on hard difficulty which seems to be right spot for playing. In fact the game was (a bit too) revealing on how worse my ability to focus has gotten. Still, I enjoyed, if only sometimes to improve my focus. The card effects are fun, but both the relic and card effect count is quite low. The several different heroes don't offer a unique enough playstyle to support replayability. Overall, t's a fun game to try that does better that expected with such a simple concept as pairs.

6/10 When I first saw this game, I was very excited about it. The art is right up my alley, the themes are cool, and the concept is new and interesting. The first few runs, I really enjoyed. It's a fun game. The more I played, the more I realized that the matching concept has a fundamental flaw. When you match 3 sets, the game gives you three more; when you play on Normal, it shows these new cards to you and so you can remember only 3 card pairs at any given time and keep cycling those. If you play on Hard, it only shows them to you at the start (and for a shorter amount of time, I think?). I am someone with a bad memory. Short or long term. So this is hard for me, yet the Normal is too easy. It's an unfortunate issue, but someone with better memory may enjoy the Hard mode more. I also think the game doesn't seem to have a lot of depth. Maybe with updates and new characters to play, it would be better. I still enjoyed it, but the gameplay life was limited.
