The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game - Definitive Edition
Ever since the online emergence of Magic: The Gathering (sadly not available on Steam anymore), many developers tried to copy the formula and release their own version of a turn-based card game either for mobile phones or PC. A flux of these came in 2015, when even major companies put heavy emphasis on releasing entries of this genre expecting huge income. Many actually became more successful than the original, mainly more and more people began playing games on their smartphones and due to the simpler rules used compared to MTG.

How much you’ll enjoy this game partially depends on your expectations beforehand. If, like many others, you’re a huge fan of the physical card game you might walk away disappointed, as it changes quite a few mechanics.
That being said, looking at the product objectively as a whole, it’s pretty solid. Personally, I think they improved on the game quite a bit. Granted, I find the physical card game it’s based on to be pretty mediocre. It’s probably one of my least favorite card games from fantasy flight. Whereas the physical version felt a little stale and slow, the digital version feels a lot snappier, interactive, and overall more intriguing than the physical version.

EndCycle VS
Picked this up earlier, and found it to be quite fun. It’s similar to the old Megaman Battle Network series for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance, a series I used to love a lot. It’s fast paced with unique mechanics, as well as mixing in some old ones with a unique twist such as the CRUSH system(Think guard break from other fighter games). It’s a bit different from Battle Network 6 in terms of combat pacing, but you have a lot more weapons you can use to control the battlefield as well as your deck being more consistent since you have access to all 12 weapons in your deck all the time, with cooldowns for differing levels and weapons.

If you want a game that plays similarly to Battle Network, then EndCycle VS is the game for you. I know I’ve been having a blast with it in the 109 hours I’ve already clocked in at the point of this review.
First and foremost, this game offers a very unique twist to the Battle Network “grid fighter” formula, by replacing the Battle Chips you would burn through with VOC’s that you can keep on hand at all times. Sure, you’re more limited when it comes to how many you can use during a battle, but that’s why you have three different sets you can shift through in the middle of the fight and change up your play style on the fly. It takes some getting used to, though. Even now, I’m still trying to get used to it, though that’s due in part by most of my time being eaten up getting into modding rather than the competitive scene, but I’ll get on to that subject later.

Esport Godfather
Player training:
Do you want an all-rounder to sweep the audience, or a secret weapon to defeat the enemy? Each player is unique and has his own hero preferences and characteristics. Can you help them break through the bottleneck and win the championship and become the most dazzling superstar on the field?
Hero pool training:
Is it to train the assassin to perfection, or is it obsessed with the master to control the thunder and lightning? The differences in skills and occupations have created many heroes. Every hero has his own specialties, and a player should also have his own specialties. The stadium is not a particular place, strength here is the last word. It is definitely a big challenge to configure a perfect hero pool for the players!
Version change:
There is no strongest hero, only the strongest version!
In this version, the experience value of the creeps has increased so that the heroes can upgrade quickly. This is the paradise of the mages. Use your skills to bomb the arena!
In that version, the wild economy has greatly increased, and the killers hidden in the jungle can finally fight happily! If you want to strategize, you must first understand the version. The person who wins in the end is the first in the version!
Tactical options:
Is it centering around the core heroes, waiting for the level of equipment to be enough to save the world and turn the tide? Or is it the Trident, with overflow attacks that make the enemy defeated from the start of the game? Coach, they are waiting for you, give instructions!
Decision card:
Every decision on the field is crucial. Are you ready to teach your opponent a lesson with the decision-making card in your hand, telling him that in this e-sports arena, it is useless to talk on paper! Only with rich experience and reasonable decision-making can we fight steadily and win the game!
League Cup:
From the chirping chicks to the soaring eagles, from the obscure City Cup to the world-famous Serie A, this road can be described as thousands of horses crossing the single-plank bridge. Not only that, in this era of e-sports, all kinds of cups are also full of talents. The players you hope to get sometimes stand on the opposite side of you, and those superb teams also look at you. Want to be famous all over the world? Let’s start now!
Breach Wanderers
Breach Wanderers does an excellent job of putting a fresh spin on the Roguelike Deckbuilding genre without needing to completely re-invent the wheel.
There are two main changes that make the game work:
First, unlike in other games you have control over both your starting deck and your card pool. Your starting deck will be 12 total cards and you can include up to two copies of any common rarity card you have unlocked. This means you always have a functional deck from the start of the run and can immediately focus on a specific strategy.

This is a very promising game, but at the moment it’s a bit lacking with the content. I recommend if you just like these type of games and looking for something new to play. Not enough card selection and too many cards are kind of useless. It feels like I’m mostly using the same small amount of cards and playing a couple of very specific ways. I’m not that wild about how you pick the cards that you might get as rewards. You basically pick the pool of cards your rewards will come from and when you beat an enemy you get to pick from a couple of them.

Into Oblivion
I’m only a few hours into this game, but I imagine that I will play it quite few more. It’s fun and relaxing, the humor is short-lived, however, it’s a challenge going for the achievements, if that’s your thing. Anyone who liked Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator should like this as much. The tutorial is helpful, but I don’t think it covers the utility in using recipe book; it took me a few hours in to realize that the possible drinks you can make with the ingredients you are dealt will be highlighted in the book. As you play the game, you’ll quickly see how that is important, but this isn’t a guide, just a review and I’ll say this is a little gem. You can’t get much more bang for your buck or drink for your drunk. Bottoms up!

Shadowhand: RPG Card Game
Shadowhand (Solitaire/Battle-Card)
Options include Full-screen/Borderless Window, Tutorial, Show Blood and Custom Cursor. There are 3 difficulties (Relaxed, Normal, Very Hard), and each is clearly marked as to what is different. Difficulty can be changed before each chapter if you so wish.
The Basics:
Gameplay is similar to that of Faerie or Regency Solitaire, with cards being placed one lower or one higher. The first big difference here is that there are no face cards (Jack, Queen, King, Ace). Instead the cards range from 0 to 9. Zero can go on nine, and vice-versa.
– Real player with 34.9 hrs in game
Shadowhand is a very fun and (mostly) relaxing way to spend an hour here and there. It took me around 23 hours to 100%, playing only on hardest difficulty.
I found it best to play 1-3 chapters per sitting. There are 22 chapters in total, with 8 hands each chapter after the first few tutorial-type chapters. There are also three difficulty levels that can be toggled on a per-chapter basis, with each chapter being replayable, so there is no need to create new profiles.
The base gameplay is similar to the usual solitaire titles on Steam, where you have a stock or draw deck each hand, and the objective is to basically clear the board of cards in sequential up and/or down chains, one card at a time. The card numbers range from 0-9 rather than your standard deck of cards, and there are 6 or 7 total suits.

Ancient Enemy
No other words can describe this game other than amazing.
I already adore solitaire, and this game’s take on it showed me a perspective of which I thought I’d never see. In fact, I feel the trailer doesn’t do the game justice, because while it looks like a slow and boring game of solitaire, it actually is a game filled with bits of satisfaction when you get a great hand and are able to do half the enemy’s health in a single hit. I also love how they managed to create a build system, that while not complex and mostly interchangeable, does allow certain styles of play. For example, mine started as careful defense followed by a counterattack in the right moment, but evolved into creating enormous combos and decimating each enemy before they could even touch me. For example, I beat the final boss without taking a single hit. Spells are overpowered only if you play your cards right (pun intended), and enemies remain a threat while still being bearable and enjoyable. The difficulty scaling is very slow and steady, so none of the fights I faced felt like complete BS, while still being challenging victories (mainly in the pursuit of more stars). As of this review, I beat Relaxed mode in 10 hours.

I beat the game and now i can make a full review of it.
The game is ok, with a good progression (maybe in the end you become too powerful) and
and an easy difficulty. Basically combining the cards in increasing or decreasing value and following the colors you build combos for more powerful moves and defenses.
There are also consumable items that honestly, of all that I had, I used only bombs and life potions and I was very good with it. There are also cards with extra powers that influence the combat cards and equipment cards, that like the consumables, there are only 4 or 5 that really have an interesting advantage, the rest is rubbish.

Doors of Insanity
First thing I’ll admit is that I’m a simp & beta tester for the devs, but that’s just because I genuinely think they’re cool guys who are worth supporting. This also means I’ve gotten the game for free, have a bias, etc. You get the idea. Plus, I also think this game is genuinely fun, it actually made me like Deck Battlers in the first place.
Doors is a game similar to Neoverse, Slay the Spire… Deck building, turn based RPG combat. If you’ve played those kinds of games before, you know what you’re getting into.
– Real player with 40.1 hrs in game
Im a huge fan of Slay the Spire in which I was told by the publishers that this was inspired by it (obviously). I’m not the best at making reviews but heres my opinion & reasoning.
Pros:
-
Great art style
-
Character creator even though its not much
-
PVP (havent tried yet but hey you can play with people at least)
-
Unique to the cardbased rougelite/rougelike genre
-
Leveling system which makes you wanna replay to get stronger
Cons
- Only one character so theres no true style or unique start, every run starts nearly the same.
