[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain_game][b]Warning: NFT/Blockchain Game[/b][/url] This game is backed by blockchain/NFT trading and crypto tokens. To evade Valve's outright ban on games like this, the store page hides the NFT core of the game from Steam users... but you'll quickly be told to create a third party account outside of Steam so you can start earning and trading the NFT's baked into every aspect of this game. This is a cryptoscam and should be avoided.[/quote] [quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Google Firebase" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile-tier game![/url][/b] This "game" is riddled with toxic mobile app microtransactions in the nasty real money cash shop that's integrated into every aspect of this shallow garbage.[/quote] "The Lost Glitches" is yet another nasty mobile-style cash grab cluttering Steam. It's not free, it's a mobile app for all intents and purposes... it has all the bottom-of-the-barrel traits, from the amateur art to the shallow loops found in mobile money pits. We don't know why this didn't make it to the app stores, but it's probably because Apple and Google have actual quality control while Valve just opens the gates. The developer is charging $65 ON TOP of the toxic cash shop infesting this P2W garbage... which itself is an AI slop looking train wreck designed to push NFTs... yeah. The cards you "get" in-game are NFTs that you can buy and sell on the Xai Blockchain, crypto tokens using Arbitrum Layer 3 stuff, and of course the NFT cards you have to buy to play this scamware are tilted such that the most expensive ones confer decisive P2W advantage. This surely is the bowel cancer of gaming. What "game" there is here is just a shallow screen tapper. The gameplay is incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. The minimal gameplay is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a predatory, mobile-style cash shop. Ignoring the greedy mobile-tier monetization and toxic cash shop... this is just a mobile app masquerading as a PC game (I guess just rejected from the app stores or something). I didn't drop thousands on a high-end gaming rig just to pretend it's an iPhone, and I doubt you did either... this sort of trash has no business worsening your Steam library. As with all mobile scams, you're forced to sign a highly questionable yet legally unenforceable End User License Agreement... for such a relatively low effort, low quality mobile app, this is specifically designed to invalidate your consumer rights and destroy your right to privacy. This agreement includes questionable requirements that may attempt to revoke consumer law protections that gamers expect to have, which is also highly problematic. Developers must learn they are here to serve gamers, not control them. I had my cat walk over the keyboard while the EULA was displaying, which fixed that problem for me. Given that this "free" NFT crypto scam for mobile phones won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? Nope. I didn't have to pay for this, but I still feel like I got scammed. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer tells some outright, direct LIES and a whole bunch of falsehoods, misrepresenting the facts of my review. The weirdest part is when developers tell outright lies that can be immediately disproven with a 3 second Google Search. Try googling "Lost Glitches" "Xai Blockchain" so you can see all the references to the NFTs for the game, how you can buy and sell them and so on. Why the developers would tell an outright, immediately disprovable lie is totally unclear, but then again, these guys are cryptoscammers, so would we expect honesty from them? The developer weirdly admits to using a third party Google Firebase account system to spy on gamers and harvest their data. Yeah, I already said that, admitting to it just means the developer is admitting they're violating your privacy, on purpose, possibly illegally, FOR PROFIT, on an NFT scam. Now you've seen the developer telling a bunch of outright lies... while I remark this NFT scam looks like AI slop, the aggressiveness of their response and their known and proven history of telling outright, immediately disprovable lies make me think this is almost certainly AI slop, too. Jesus wept, this truly is the bowel cancer of gaming. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this NFT scam to anyone.

About
Easy to Start. Tactical to Master.
The Lost Glitches is a tactical card battler built to respect your time. We stripped away the barriers so you can get straight to the fight.
Whether you are a genre veteran or a newcomer, the gameplay is designed to be accessible instantly. There is no steep learning curve preventing you from your first win, but the strategic ceiling ensures that mastery is a long-term pursuit.
Instant Action with 5 Free Complete Decks
Forget the initial grind or the fear of picking the "wrong" cards. You begin fully equipped with five distinct starter decks, allowing you to jump straight into short, clean PvP battles.
Zero Setup Friction: Pick a playstyle—whether it's rushing down opponents or controlling the board—and enter matchmaking immediately.
The 5-Slot Battlefield: In these quick sessions, space is your most valuable resource. You can’t just flood the arena—you have to curate it.
Beyond the Glitches: Victory isn't just about your units. True mastery comes from the perfect timing of instant cards and the strategic use of persistent Skills—abilities that remain visible on the board, forcing your opponent to adapt to your build.
Go Deeper at Your Pace
Depth is optional and strictly on your terms. You can enjoy the game casually with the starter decks, or dive into the mechanics when you are ready to refine your craft.
Skill Trees: As you play, you can unlock 20+ skills to slightly alter how your deck performs.
Mix Syndicates: There are no rigid class lock-ins. Smash together different factions to find synergies that the meta hasn't discovered yet.
Ranked When You're Ready: The competitive ladder is there when you want to test your skills, but private matches and casual play are always open for testing wild ideas.
Fair Play & The Joy of Collecting
The Lost Glitches is Free to Play and designed to be generous. We reward your playtime with ample currency to open packs and build your library without spending a dime. However, we also believe in options:
Skip the Grind: If you prefer a full-access experience, you can purchase the Complete Collection DLC to instantly unlock every functional card in the base set. The option to open booster packs and gradually build your collection remains.
Express Your Style: A separate Cosmetics DLC is available for those who want to maximize their visual flair immediately.
The Thrill Remains. Even if you own the Complete Collection, the joy of cracking packs never fades. Booster packs drop "Collector's Editions"—stunning alternate skins of the cards you know and love. Whether you grind or buy, your collection will always be unique to you.
Features
Tactical Card Battler: A notch deeper than simple card snappers, but faster than complex TCGs.
5-Slot Board: Unique positional gameplay where blocking and slot management are key.
Instant Action: 5 Starter Decks included from the start.
300+ Cards: A massive library of Glitches and Software to collect.
Persistent Progression: Unlock visible Skills over time to specialize your strategy.
Competitive & Casual: Ranked matchmaking for the climbers, private lobbies for the theory-crafters.

The Lost Glitches was yet another crypto grab. I am surprised Steam allowed it on their page. Steam rules are a little weird. How this game got through checks is interesting. 12. Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs. 13. Applications with advertising-based business models.

目前来看,是一款食之无味,弃之可惜的游戏,典型的叫好不叫座。游戏是好玩的,但是还欠缺打磨。 先说优点,卡面画风还行。(不知道是不是AI作画) 接下来就全是缺点了。 攻击按钮有点反逻辑,居然跳过攻击结束回合在大按钮上。 UI设计上没有层次感,一开始进游戏我都不知道哪些是按钮哪些是装饰,导致视觉上体验上很不舒服。但总的来说,比KARDS的UI好不少,KARDS的UI是满满的廉价感,我希望the lost glitches能做得比现在更好。 桌边一些装饰毫无意义,对战的桌子有点小了,按钮又有点大了。不如把桌面扩大一点,至少看着还舒服一点。 另外目前知道这个游戏的人还是过于少了,知道这游戏过来玩的玩家又不想在这游戏上多花时间。游戏在线人数上能看得出来这个问题。原因是有两波人,一波是买了全卡DLC的,很快因为没有目标失去了兴趣,打算日后再看游戏的更新。另外一波是玩了一会儿被操作繁琐劝退的。就不知道哪个占比多一点了。 再加上作为卡牌游戏不卖卡,只卖全套卡的DLC。我知道你们很良心,但是前车之鉴这么做的游戏实在是很多,他们都半死不活了,其中就有大名鼎鼎的Riot Games。一款卡牌游戏让玩家失去集齐卡牌的乐趣是很致命的,还请三思。 虽然问题多,但是好玩是好玩的。
not bad. simple and easy. graphics are good too
Pro: It's EUR 20 for all cards and all skills. One and done. Con: You have played this kind of cardgame so many times before. It looks cool, it feels slick but underneath it all, it's just repurposed Hearthstone. Fortunately, you can start on F2P to decide if that's for you.
É bem bom, mas tá meio cru ainda, nem tem como add amigos, acho que antes de colocar microtransações no seu jogo tu tem que fazer um ambiente aonde da pra se criar uma comunidade. Mas sobre o jogo em bonzão.
As a long-term CTCG fan, having played pretty much every one out there, this one was worth adding and spending time on. The artwork is amazing - its a mix between Hades-style and Artifact. I got the Full Collection pack, which gives you all the cards and multiples, which honestly is great to kick-start and building decks, without the hassle - it does rob a bit of progression enjoyment, but now I can save up my credits for the next releases. The card pool is limited at the moment, but there are some interesting combos already - generally typical TCG tactics are present here as well. If they manage to maintain a balanced card pool with a decent release cadence, this can shape up to be a great TCG. The devs are super quick and responsive on their discord - encountered some issues but they were very very swift in resolving them.
It's been fun so far! At first, the turn structure was a bit confusing to me and i felt that the UI was lacking in clarity (like which players turn and phase it currently is), so perhaps that could be improved upon coupled with the fixing of some minor bugs. Other than that, it's a fun TCG that introduces some interesting features like the skill-mechanic and has a very unique and cool art style! :)
[h3]【站场为王御强敌,三技在手破重围】[/h3] 赛博科幻风卡牌对战游戏。 游戏采用PVP模式,战斗方式类似《炉石》,玩家用费用召唤有生命值属性的卡牌让它们在5格的棋盘中尽量站场,站得住才有机会在回合中进攻对手,阻碍敌方攻击,这是整个游戏的策略核心。 游戏中卡组分为打法鲜明的五个流派,再加上玩家可以自由携带3个角色技能影响场内,玩家能组建的战术空间还是非常宽阔,加上游戏美术方面表现不俗,推荐给卡牌对战爱好者!

This game follows the same concept of card games, just with its own twist. but it needs a lot of work. First of all, the UI is very confusing and messy. You can't understand anything. The music is simply terrible. The loading moves very slowly. The field is very, very small. I would like the option to enlarge it. and some key word dont have explanation for some reason . rank match bug cant play . so right now is Unplayable i hope this will change .
