Takara Cards: Academy is a promising start to what could be a great new card game series. As a free prologue, it offers a taste of the full game's strategic depth and engaging storyline. The unique blend of deckbuilding and tactical combat is refreshing, and the art style is visually appealing. While the game is still in development, it shows a lot of potential. The tutorial is clear and concise, making it easy for newcomers to learn the ropes. However, there's room for improvement in terms of customization options and endgame content. Overall, Takara Cards: Academy is a solid foundation for a more extensive game.

It's a pretty interesting card game. The core gameplay feels like a card mini-game in a larger sci-fi game. Cool art too.
"Takara Cards: Academy" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Takara Cards". Takara Cards is a badly made card based ripoff of FTL, where you use a built deck instead of the FTL ship layout. There's some dross about a "space dragon", but ultimately it's just more overpriced, valueless shovelware from shovelware pushers, GrabTheGames, products that are so bad they wouldn't even get dumped in the bargain bins at the front of the shop, if we still had physical game stores. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Takara Cards, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Takara Cards: Academy" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $15 USD on buying Takara Cards, and I don't recommend you do that either. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
I'd rate it if it worked. I get an error on opening.
I only played a little bit, but I did not find the game mechanics particularly fun. It just seemed a bit tedious
My friend who i play CS:GO with said if i post a review on this game and it gets 200 likes and 200 awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 2 kilos of canned ham. So i'm just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha
製品版”Takara Cards”の体験版。 エフェクトやデザインはよくできてるが、体験版ではデブしか使えないしボスに挑戦できないので楽しめなかった。 デッキを機動デッキと装備デッキに分けたり、レベル概念をコツと表記したり、ターン終了ボタンに+01とかつける必要あるか? すべては製品版という名の銀河の果てに答えがあるのかもしれない……
