I wanted to like this game---I've played a majority of well-known, and some not so known, rogue-like "deckbuilder" games. The mental capacity required to make the best move is...high...which is normally a good thing. In this game you can see both yours and your opponent's decks. To calculate the best possible move, you have to really understand the chains of causality in this game. I...simply don't want to spend that much time thinking about this game. I don't feel like the game is good enough or rewarding enough to require such mental fortitude. There's a perk system for losing a run, but it doesn't feel rewarding enough. I'm not sure. I don't think the game, as is, is for me, and while I recognize its brilliance, I can't give it a thumbs up. There's going to be a subset of players like me that just...think as I do and go "meh."
I enjoyed it for the first hour. In the end though - it's a 4*4 grid where you and computer opponent take turns each putting down 7 cards. The map is quite good, and upgrade options had variety (shop of new cards / one combat potion effects / card upgrades) then you could evolve cards with special powers and use hero powers a times in combat on cards. Also artefacts during the run and meta upgrades. I didn't get around to the meta upgrades though - because after sweeping through two maps without any losses I realised that I wouldn't be able to sustain interest in the core mechanics of the game. All aspects are high quality. Aside from core mechanics my only small issue was several relic cards being unclear in exactly how they would function and a couple of mechanics being unclear from the tutorial (such as when hero powers refresh). In retrospect the game is very clear about what it is delivering - and it delivers it well. I notice that some other reviewers had the same issue as me - thinking that there was more to the battle aspect of the game than there was. I don't think the devs can change much to avoid this misconception though - there is even a clear broadcast of the game.

[b][i]Card battler roguelike with deck building and strategic puzzle elements, inspired by the Final Fantasy VIII minigame Triple Triad.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/ytu1GfsCWSY You move around the map and fight monsters. In each battle, you need to place your cards on the field and capture enemy cards.

You can use hero skills and items to change the properties of cards and the rules of battle. For victories you receive gold and fragments. Gold is used to purchase items and temporarily upgrade cards, and shards are needed to unlock new heroes and perks. In addition, you can use shards to strengthen cards with full experience scale. + Simple, casual gameplay. + High replay value. + 12 heroes with unique skills. + Bosses and collectible relics that make gameplay easier. + Various items. + Buy perks and improve the deck. + Achievements.

I get that they felt the need to innovate something, but they added an annoying layer of complexity on FF's simple basic game.
Slay the Spire meets the Final Fantasy 8 card game but on steroids!
User interface is unhelpful. Card interaction is unintuitive. There is no capability to help plan potential card interactions such as highlighting cards that the card you play will interact with, forcing the player to rely entirely on memory for every card interaction. The saving grace there is that if you have a really good memory, you'll likely excel at this game. Overall not a great successor to Triple Triad.
玩法一般,就是出牌比大小,增加的各种元素也就稍微多了点新鲜感。没有中文,不太推荐玩。
The game is a lot of fun and quite addictive. You really have to think about where you're placing cards and make sure you're looking at your opponents deck to plan ahead. Once you get the hang of it, it's really fun.
The idea is great but the overall graphic of this game is really bland. It takes you out of it. Everything just seems plastered on each other with no reason why. Can't recommend the game when it's such an eyesore.

[/quote] [h2]Final Fantasy VIII's Triple Triad[/h2] I loved that card game growing up, and it's interesting to see a similar concept appear as a Roguelike Deckbuilder. It's actually a lot of fun to play, and winning requires some understanding of the techniques. You're essentially trying to outplay your opponent (NPC) by contesting their cards and claiming more points before the final card is put down. You have rules like swords take everything but tie to another sword, and shields block everything except swords. Low and high values, combinations, potions, different board effects and debuffs and so on. If you enjoy it, 4D Audio is a fantastic addition. It's basically when the audio swirls around in your headset, providing you a more relaxing experience, if that makes sense. It's not for everyone, but I found it quite calming why strategizing. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] If you liked the Triple Triad card game from Final Fantasy VIII, this is it in roguelike form. I'm concerned about the amount of damage you'd receive on the first run because it was roughly 95% of the players supply, but it's one of those games where you're supposed to fail, buy improvements, and then try again with better chances. That was perhaps the only thing I disliked about it.
