Dead Man’s Draw

Dead Man’s Draw

This is very close. Another game I wish I could give a neutral rating.

Its a push your luck card drawing game with each suit triggering a different mechanism and along with your traits you can combine them in to more or less devestating attacks in order to collect cards that bolster your score.

Contrary to some of the reviews Ive seen nothing to suggest that the AI is cheating, it does pull off some last minute nasty moves at times but keeping my cool I can think back to the many times I have done the same thing. How much this actually matters is debateable, if the game makes you feel like it is cheating then whether it is or it isnt, the frustration is always real. I think this will be the biggest sticking point for most people, at first it may not be quite so apparent but as things go on you will see through to the luck component of the game increasingly easily and more and more you will feel robbed by complete chance regardless of how well youve played a hand.

I really enjoyed this game, the rules are really simple to pick up, it’s fun to play, the characters are memorable and consistent in ‘who they are’ with the trait combos they use. The AI is really good and not overly cheaty, there were a couple of times I thought you wouldn’t keep drawing like that or you’d have had to have known that card was there to have carried on or to have played that card, but this didn’t happen often enough to make it a concern. It is incredibly fair the majority of the time.

Solitairica

Solitairica

Introduction, basics of gameplay

It’s a really interesting spin on your typical Solitaire formula. The addition of different enemy types (with own skills and passives), spells, equipment slots and deck types gives the game surprising depth. Solitairica also requires some real thought, especially if you want to get through to the end, regardless of whether it’s a Normal or an Elite run.

The “meat” of the game is gauntlet-type journey, with 18/28 battles and final boss. A single successful run takes anywhere from an hour to three, luckily there’s option to save & quit. And you’ll have to do plenty of runs to unlock and complete everything. I’ve spent well over 60 hours so far and I still have few deck types that I didn’t complete Elite difficulty with yet. If you like puzzle, strategy and/or card games then you should enjoy your time here.

Target Audience: .Those who like spider solitaire and Roguelites.

Summary:

While the base game may not EXACTLY spider solitaire, it uses the core game concept, and adds a layer of combat and skill to it. And what does that do? It makes an addictive game that I planned to play 4 hours to get my first impressions. Instead, I ended up playing 14+. This should tell you something. Using skills to turn a defeat into a victory was always satisfying, and a game that was great to play in the background while I was watching YouTube videos. The different classes and items helped to keep the variety up, while buying news skills and changing up strategies was great to see what new combination I could put together next. The game could use a few tweaks to make it more of a streamlined experience, and the developer seems to be taking feedback after he watched the video review I produced. And I would like to see the game on the iOS/Android platform, as I think it’d work really well there. But even for what may seem like a higher price compared to other solitaire/card games out there, Solitaircia delivered in some addictive gameplay, and made my other reviews that much harder, with the time I spent on this one.

The Horus Heresy: Legions

This here, it is their cash milking machine, mind you as long as the gros is getting to GW i rly dont mind.

Just wish there was something you could invest money in without being a whale. a sub that didnt suck for instance , a better matchmaking system ? in fact id prolly buy single player cmpaigns if those gave me good cards instead of the RNG.

The gem system is 5:1 a card being drawn as double only gives me 1 5th of its cost in the gem shop.

Trouble is new factions cost gold primarily to get and at first only 200 coin crates are available not the more reasonable ones.

The game throws you into some pretty cool fights when you first start the game.

They have cool enemies and you are getting rewards and you think maybe there is a cool story and hope this continues to develop and allow you to adjust your deck as you go through an amazing campaign story mode.

But no…It just ends abruptly out of nowhere and the game is pretty much a grindfest or pay wall from that point onwards. You try to play a friendly match, you get in a game with ai or players. Players have better decks than you because you are a noob who hasn’t paid any money to buy all the cards and build better decks or grind for hundreds of hours, so you get pummelled because the matchmaker is trash like most card games.

Loved this game, it’s a great mashup between threes and blackjack.

I loved to play poker hands, this sequence is also very good.

I recommend this game if you want a relaxing but also challenging puzzle game

Interesting idea to mix puzzles and card games rules. Random elements brings a touch of card game feel.

Art is simple but nice, as well as the relaxing soundtrack. Good for card fans.
