Shards of Order

The production quality of this game for the price is insane! The music, voice acting and art work is all so fantastic!

You aren't getting anywhere unless your deck is how the developers want it to be set up.

Great game when it works. Unfortunately it does not work. I bought the game with sole reason of playing it on the steamdeck while on the go, e.g. morning walks. And the amount of problems spotted during one walk forces me to refund the game. I played the game with frames capped at 40. I will describe the situation now: Bought the game, installed it on the steamdeck, played it a bit before sleep to make sure it works well on steamdeck and after ten minutes turned the steamdeck off. Next morning, picked it up and turned it on during the walk that's when issues started: - Stutters in sound and frames - Frame freezes - Sound looping - Controls unresponsive Then finally I gave up trying to play, and quit to menu, and now menu is fully unresponsive - so I just quit game using steamdeck controls. And because I was on the walk and there was no internet connection on the deck - game refused to start. I tried two times and both times I just see black screen with nothing on it. When I came back home and connected to internet - the game started fine. Massive red flag - when game either tries to fetch some data or send some data online, while blocking the gaming experience I payed for. So even if I wanted to give the game the second try - I couldn't cause game blocked me. I trusted the developer comments about steamdeck and that was a mistake. This game wasn't properly tested on the steamdeck. In all fairness, I saw that latest update mentions the menu unresponsiveness, but I am not a fan of a game that I can't play properly on the sole device I bought it for. I will be refunding the game and following it - because developers seem to be updating game actively. For others my advice - give this game a wide time pause if you plan to play it on steam deck - it's not ready. However I personally will only buy in the future with discounts and if steam gives green checkmark. Don't want to deal with refund the second time.

Look, I know this is mean to say. I've only played like 15 minutes of this game, but what the ♥♥♥♥ is this writing? You cannot have this bad jokey dialogue in this edge-lord story and world. Whatever tone your artist was going for is getting kicked in the nuts every time the writer comes in and the Soldier's inner monologue is the some schlockey Marvel-ass joke like I'm playing Immortals of Aveum.

A great 12-20h game for a single playthrough. Interesting time mechanic, unique setting, interesting linear story. Definitely worth it for it's price. Highly recommended! Love shorter games, I get to finish them for once :D

13小时，煎熬完成，音效烂、画面烂、剧情烂、机制烂、汉化烂

I finished this game 2.5 times, and kind of prefer Tainted Grail: Conquest. Like a lot of random games, it ends abruptly, so you cannot play anymore. You know, no "end game." The UI for unlocking cards is kind of awful. It's a card game; this tech tree is a bit much. I want a lot of card options. I'd rather it be random with no respec, if it just means more choices and less tech tree clicking. It's nice that it's easy to make broken decks with the basic cards. First time I won, I didn't actually know what the Pray to God mechanic even did, because I made a simple infinite-esk deck that carried, so I never had to bother to use it. But the mechanic allows weaker thematic decks to function by healing your party from death. I would definitely play again if it got DLC or an expansion. The whole boss where you cannot win mechanic made me laugh a couple times at how it prevents you from winning. It's kind of disappointing that the "specific" boss mechanic doesn't pop up later. It’s somewhat short, which I think is great. I don’t want story games to go on forever; I like shorter length for better replayability. But you always have the same party of three, and the card “tech tree” doesn’t open up fast enough. Gear is cool though.

流程总共十几个小时，不长但还蛮好玩的，算对得起价格，能自己配卡还是能配出不少花样的。 整体难度不算高，打到通关也没sl过几次，唯一一次被打到复活是第三章把我的纯辅助法师拉出单挑了，一点输出没有被迫初见杀。 不过道中大部分战斗都有三只怪起步，有时候甚至不止一波，aoe手段记得多搞点不然会有点难受，boss反而都是沙包没啥好怕的。 最后记得先走好结局再走坏结局，好结局通关完可以读档解锁坏结局，坏结局通关就不能读档选结局了。 PS：法师中期就可以捡到一把超级滤抽法杖（能带四张0c抽2弃1，后面还能升级成抽3弃2）基本上拿到就无敌了。

作为一款30多块钱的游戏还是蛮出乎意料的，个人玩了一周目，感觉还是蛮好玩的，就是后续不能继承周目有点难受，希望能多周目游玩
