If you are a comic book fan like me, there’s a lot to love about Sentinels of the Multiverse.

It is the digital version of a tabletop card game, where each character and environment is a fixed deck of cards.

There’s a lot of variety here, different heroes with backstories and themes that remind you of famous DC or Marvel characters, many variants of those heroes that unlock after certain conditions are met. These are really fun to accomplish and sort of introduce you more and more to the lore of this universe.

Card City Nights

Card City Nights

If you enjoy an easy-going yet skill-based game, or if you enjoy the elements of both puzzles and trading card battles, I highly recommend ‘Card City Nights.’

In ‘Card City Nights’, you fast travel through an island city with a chill, evening atmosphere, talking to comical NPCs, and battling them in a TCG for booster packs. In the card game proper, each player has a 3x3 card grid, and seven Defense Points. The goal is either to fill up your opponent’s grid with occupied space, or decrease their Defense Points to zero.

(Need a tl;dr? Just go buy the freaking game.)

I would like to start out by saying that I have a lot of experience with TCG’s. I played Magic: The Gathering for a while, and I liked it but I was never in love with it. The game that I really fell in love with was Yugioh- which, from about 2010 to early 2012, was the best card game of all time, no holds barred, perfect pacing, for most of those formats well balanced, all playstyles were represented, and most importantly a deep, deep, deep, DEEP card pool that constantly rewarded me for scrolling through lists of cards, pointing at a random one with weird subtext and saying “I’m gonna make a deck around that one!” But eventually, konami ruined everything, the game sped up until it was too fast, the power crept up until I couldn’t build a creative deck and survive against anyone competent for more than a turn or two, and the community got even worse. The state that it was in was much akin to the happy accidents of “Super Smash Bros. Melee” or “Marvel vs. Capcom 2” in that they probably didn’t actually think about how the things they added affected the meta game, but eventually it somehow turned out fantastic. I’m saying all of this because Card City Nights reminds me of this era of yugioh. Very different gameplay, yes, but I’m not talking about the gameplay. There are two very important things that this game gets very right and other digital tcg’s get very very wrong: card collection and deck building.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist

Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist

TLDR:

Objectively speaking, if you want to play Yugioh in 2020 (or beyond) don’t buy this game since it is the now “outdated” version. You probably want the version called Yugioh Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution . That version is updated to the latest Master Rule 5 where you can Link Summon and also you are no longer limited to summoning from the extra deck to only the monster zones that are pointed to by Link Monsters.

Here I am again, for one more review!

A past few weeks ago some people did asked me to post my review about this

game that it is one of my favorites (not to say the most) since I have been

playing it (the TCG format) profissionaly back to 2008-2009 and 2011-2015.

Yu-gi-oh, as far as I remember have always been an inspiration in my life:

teamwork, friendship, hope, courage, determination, respect, honor… some

of the aspects I’ve learned from this franchise since 1998 that influenced

me to pursue my dreams and realize what I most want. I even decided,

Runespell: Overture

Runespell: Overture

Runespell is a RPG card game that follows similar rules to poker. Each fight requires you to deplete your enemies hitpoints by collecting 5 cards together that give you a score. Since the rules are based on poker, a pair is the least amount of points and a royal flush is the most amount of points. You can also collect cards along the way to use your special ability points that you gain during each fight. These cards can be used to shield yourself, attack using spells, or call in allies to help you with your fight.

Real player with 51.6 hrs in game

Runespell Overture is a card game with kind of original mechanic, blending the combinations from poker with tactical moves from Arcomage - where you collecting some points to use them on some spell, which will either attack your opponent or defend yourself better.

Point one is that it is NOT a Role-Play Game, it is only a card game with “health points” on you and your enemies, and some grades of combinations to win the hand.

Point two is that Arcomage - and many games alike - are still Much Better by the terms of gameplay.

Causa, Voices of the Dusk

Causa, Voices of the Dusk

I have waited until the end of the beta to make this review, to follow close the development of the project, so I have a lot to say. First of all, Causa have captivated me since the origin because was very different to all card games we have, it have 3 big differences to them:

  1. First and more important, is not a game gated to the “mana system” cards have not mana costs, the game works by “Levels” of a different source, the Causa Pile, this pool of resources is filled with cards you “sacrifice” from your hand or board, and the actual “costs” of the cards are the “Plays per turn”, you can play cards from your hand or the same Causa Pile if they have same or lower Level requirement than the amount of cards in your Causa, those cards expends Plays, so normally you can play up to 2 cards per turn, but a lot of them give you more plays to chain combos between them and make fun and smart strategic moves.

Causa has many new ideas that fix every problem I’ve ever had with other card games. Their development team is consistently involved with the community, listening to suggestions and sharing promo codes and in game items.

Story

The lore of the game is incredibly deep if you care to look into it. I do, and I’ve fallen in love with the world hidden behind the cards.

Sound

The sound is amazing! Every sound effect is made to fit what’s happening on the screen, and the music is fitting for both menu and battle.

A Long Way Down

A Long Way Down

As it sits right now, A Long Way Down is an incomplete game that is hampered by bugs - but this is an Early Access title so I can forgive this. That said, I can’t say I was particularly all that interested in this game; nor was I particularly interested in the element of ‘farming’ that this game seems to encourage.

The gimmick of this card rogue-like is that you are given an incomplete dungeon layout - a lot of tiles will be floating in, well, Limbo, and you will ‘build’ your path through the dungeon with tiles you can set down. There are many event tiles that you can come across and interact with - as well as of course enemies to encounter.

I completed the game and earned all achievements in the game. I believe, that I experienced all the content and so I can share my experiences about this game.

I got surprised that this game is actually free, it is really nice and the soundtrack is really awesome!

got almost 2 hours in but I’m still on the 2nd tier enemies, got a few new cards, will definitely continue to play it!

You should definitely try it, it’s free and is a really good game!

(At this time this was written) This game has several problems -easily fixed- that make it… frustrating to play. It’s a simple Hearthstone-esque card game where you win battles to purchase cards, and destroy cards to improve other ones.

First of all, this game doesn’t have a tutorial. The player is forced to fumble through the menu and eventually into the first fight. There you have slightly helpful, if a bit hard to see UI that gives you buttons to press. While there is a list of “hints”, they’re too cumbersome and time consuming to substitute an actual tutorial.

Nice little card game. You can spend another hour with pleasure.

Can’t give this one a good review, sadly. The bits and pieces seem nice, but it doesn’t make for a fun gaming experience.

The art and music is perhaps the best aspect of the game, the controls work fine as well.

That said the game feels very under-documented, and the games do not seem very fun or balanced, I win every time without even knowing what I am doing.

Perhaps the biggest weakness is that you cannot gain experience points except in multiplayer, and I have never been able to find anyone else to play it with.

I planned to give Red Mist two hours of stream time and ended up continuing on for five and a half. Then I clocked another ten hours off stream. If you still need to hear more, watch my gameplay footage or read on below.

You build your deck, and your cards are your life. Enemies will steal them from you as they damage you, and you’ll face three or four foes at once with more waiting in the wings. If you’re a casual player, you’ll love this like I did. If this isn’t your first rodeo, then you’ll find each character (deck archetype) has a few ways to create an infinite loop. But even the infinite loop isn’t a guarantee of victory: the real trick is understanding the effects enemies will have on you.

3.9/5 (B plus) : Good card battler with a unique mechanism (cards as life points) and interestingly different characters. Art is good enough. Weaknesses are mostly in the lack of advancement. The difficulty levels add no new fun or functionality, just increase the difficulty, which does increase the challenge with each successful replay, but almost nothing else.

A very good element of the game design is similar to Slay the Spire, having very different play styles, cards, and mechanisms for the different characters. Really appreciate how different they are and there are six.

Book of Beasts — The Collectible Card Game CCG

| Follow my Curator Page for more Strategy Games! |

Book of Beasts is a free-to-play Collectible Card Game. It is nothing like Hearthstone, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, and the likes. It’s more like a Puzzle game.

Your Deck consists of 20 cards. Each turn you draw up to four cards. You can play all of them on the field. Each card has (a) different element(s). There is fire, water, air, earth, and spirit. A card can have different elements on each side which means you will have a card you can connect to another fire card and have a connection to a water card at the same time. You can’t play a card if you can’t connect it to another one.

First Impressions:

I learned how to play the game after just the first introduction match. That is impressive!

The game is so simple to learn, I think I can get others who would be intimidated by other card games to try this out. I REALLY hope a Mobile version of this is on the way, because this game has great potential for a strong scene.

Also I was curious on how they monetize the game. It appears to be SUPER generous. I mean, 15 bucks for the ENTIRE first season of cards? Insane value!
