Shards of Order

I enjoyed this game - there are some great things about it and a couple I wasn't as excited for. The pros however , really outweighed the couple of subjective things I didn't enjoy. PROS: The artwork is fantastic. Cards, characters, enemies, dark-theme, ambiance - all crisp and very detailed. The card game/deck building was very fun. The idea of respec'ing was enjoyable for me - the ability to find new combos and easily try things out was very cool. CONS: Subjectively I didn't enjoy the story part. I liked the card element so much I just wanted that part of the game and not the RPG/Story side. I do think that if you enjoy role playing and following stories - that there's probably an interesting tale here. Sadly, I ignored it. Some cards also used words that were slightly unclear but you could figure out (eg "Sword" cards are mentioned - they are cards with sword icons but there's no "Sword" keyword for example.) NEUTRAL: The quests were neat, but also made running around the map a bit hectic. The entire traversal system is both neat and.....odd. It didn't add/subtract for me. The crafting was also extremely tacked on. Not seeing the enemies data before an encounter also felt a bit goofy/guesswork. The big "eye" thing to save you is also extremely ambiguous on it's power, how often you can use it, etc. Same with the random save/health restore check points. In Summary, in spite of some creative, yet definitely out of the box creative game design choices that some added, some detracted a bit and some were neutral - the core of the game (the card building/playing) was excellent. Tie in the graphics and this was a very fun card game (+rpg ish) experience.

有趣，演出也好，就是卡牌如果能解释更清楚一些就更好啦

游戏的美术风格不错，但是能不能让人物强度均衡一下

I havent finished it yet, but its a good game in a crowded genre. The time mechanic instead of mana and it NOT being a roguelike are the most important aspects. The good: - good introduction into the usual suspects (strength, weakness, posion and time delay this time, which is sadly op - interesting cards in the late game - all heroes have unique mechanics which are fairly interesting, with the scholar standing out here being a bit more complex. - mechanics like the eye which are great for casual players. I am happy that they found a way to make the game easier without just reducing enemy dmg or hp. Big plus in that regard :D - equipment gives a bit more depth - over 10 hours for a low price the bad: - most strategies feel samey, as in buffing one guy to be the damage dealer, one the tank and one for debuffs. - although bosses have unique mechanics, they do not change the gameplay enough! E.g. one boss increases the mana cost of cards from heroes that attack. I was playing a 0 mana dmg build with the mage where his 0 mana cards are duplicated. This boss should have WRECKED me, with my strat being dysfunctional here. I still won and barely lost hp in the progress. - there are bugs like status symbols being a white square, music stopping halfway through (just silence for a minute) and it feels like there is sometimes a delay limit for cards, but like not for bosses but for random enemies?? - let me play the interesting cards earlier (cards in the later sections of the skilltree)! :(

Fantastic game, great story, beautiful artwork and animations, interesting and unique combat mechanics. I am a sucker for a a good turn based combat games, grim dark setting and a bit of exploration is a bonus. For such a low price this game is a must have

实在玩不下去了，画面还行，卡组 节奏设计的太快了。应该弓箭战士搭配一段时间 再来FS，牌又乱，还时不时控制一个人，反正 就是节奏太快 太乱，完全没有一个适应期

Good game, but free respec mechanic is tricky, I am so stressed after each level/item to minmax build, it should have some price: once per map, cost hp or something
