Do you enjoy deck-building board games? Cooperative Play? Take That Mechanics? Variable Rule Sets?
If you have no idea what I am talking about… This is a card game, each player has the same small starting deck of cards. Over the course of a game you will purchase cards to add to your deck and eliminate cards from your deck, to help you (hopefully) draw better hands as the game progresses. Your objective is to defeat the Mastermind, or boss, of the instance you are playing. Each instance, or game session, that you play may have a different Mastermind, as well as a differing Scheme. The Scheme dictates the win condition for the Mastermind, as well as the rules for that particular session. This is a simplification of the overall game, it would be easier for you to check out the game and run through the tutorial (it’s free!)

A second revision for my review. I have spent nearly 300 hours in this game, so you’d think I’d somehow manage to be positive about it, but sadly that’s not the case. Most of that time was spent in bursts of bug testing to try and get the developers to fix the game.
On the plus side, the developers did finally take some action and sort out the worst of the bugs. You can actually play a whole game without wondering if you’ve been the victim of a practical joke. This is good. If bugs from the past were the only thing keeping you from playing, now is a great time to pick it back up again. The remaining bugs are easily overlooked (things like clicks not being super responsive, double-click not being universal, the faster animations being somewhat of a lie because you still have to wait the normal amount of time before you can make a move after hitting the play all button, just stupid stuff like that).

Greedy Dungeon
So far, it’s a pretty fun game. You build up your deck, upgrading cards you like, hit the dungeon to take on baddies and hopefully not die. It can be kinda grindy, but the more challenging dungeons will test your character and your willingness to lose everything if you die. For the price it can’t be beat.

Tetrogue Dragons
Tetrogue Dragons is a deckbuilding rogue-lite with a fun puzzle twist. Choose from three initial classes and unlock four more. Each class has a unique set of abilities that correlates to falling blocks on the battle board. The classes also have different stats altering the penalties they take for filling their battle board or the speed that blocks fall onto the board. As you move through procedurally generated maps, you add shapes into your deck, gain potions, and add items that alter gameplay and can also stack for impressive bonuses. Items can increase the size of your battle board, your loot drops, your maximum health or much more. Beware though! As you add shapes to your deck, the enemy’s decks get bigger as well and their abilities grow with each new map. At the end of each map battle a dragon boss with unique abilities like reversing your controls or obscuring part of your battle board. Play to become a master, or just have some casual fun, it is up to you!

Andor - Wrecking Dawn
Although Andor is not so competitive comparing to other hot card collection games, it is still a choice to take an easy free game in Andor. The true game can be start in hours after you know its rule by some detail introductions, and a good news is that basic cards (white and blue) is easy to get, as you can get tons of packs in many ways. I see this game still has problems, but they are willing to fix it if you report.

For playing several card games like Hearthstone, Faeria, ESL, etc. I must say that I enjoy my experience in Andor so far.
The game is very promising …
The graphics and the music are good. The gameplay works well and the system is original on some points like having to discard cards to get mana unlike the majority of games of the genre where it increases automatically every turn. The system of rows and lines of attack as well as that of spells and counterattacks are also aspects of the game that are new and enjoyable. Deck and strategy possibilities are many and varied. The single player campaign is quite long and already offers many challenges.

Knights of the Card Table
At its heart it’s not a bad game, but there are problems to be aware of. But first the good: It’s a light game that regularly introduces new elements. It plays well with risk/reward. The DM character has some fun lines. Now the bad: The elements it adds don’t do as much as they can to vary the game as you go along. There are stretches where the order you click the cards makes little difference, to the point where it can get a bit mindless. The big issue is that there are some optional levels that are exceedingly long, and as I noted with the sometimes mindlessness of clicking through thousands of the same cards, the levels feel even longer. Near the end there are several of these extra long levels which are not avoidable, and you grind to make it through. This becomes a problem as the game just sort of ends with a whimper.

In the humorous RPG-lite card game style of We Slay Monsters, Solitairica, Guild of Dungeoneering and looks like Letter Quest. Not sure why old school RPGs have to be parodies. Anyway, addictive and balanced game. Great design and programming. Very easy to get into. I was sold after 5 minutes from Youtube.

Paperback: The Game
I have the physical copy of this and enjoy it - so I got this just for time passing and a bit of practice.
AI is ok and can be a bit of a challenge.
A repeated game lock up issue when dragging cards seems to have been resolved.
This version is helpful as my partner has trouble shuffling and so online is a preferred method of play for us.
Would be nice to have some of the game expansions as options, and also for the music to be longer or more varied. It gets repetitive

Deck building word game - what a fantastic idea! build words from the letters in your hand and use the score to buy more letters to add to your deck. I’ve looked at the physical version of this for a long time, but most of my family isn’t that interested in word games. This was an easy way to jump into it, and I’m winning them over :) great art, great mechanics, and the AI makes it fun to play solo. Can’t recommend it enough.

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.

VEmpire - The Kings of Darkness
I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys card games. Both the art and music are beautiful, and the basis of the game is very unique. The developer is very open, honest, and passionate about making the game all it can be. To him, it isn’t just about creating a game, it is about a creating a friendly, helpful community around the game.
A HUGE plus is once purchased, you own everything, there are no in-game microtransactions. Though some may not mind them, paying real money for virtual items just seems foolish to me, especially as they can add up fast. That is simply my own opinion, but I’m a casual gamer to begin with. When I see microtransactions, I think “another way to milk money out of customers”. Wolfgang is VERY animate that such a model will never be a part of this game, and given his straightforward nature, I have no doubt that is the truth.

Oh how I dislike to review EA titles, but alas, those little kids who love to play critic, while not even having spent an hour to play this game, kinda force me to.
I´ve played tons of different TCG´s and CCG´s over the last 25 years (Dune, MTG, Star Wars, Battletech, Shadowrun, Illuminati, Jyhad, Mythos, Aliens/Predator, Kult and maybe 1-2 I´ve forgotten).
VEmpire doesn´t fall short of those at all. It´s a solid game, although still in EA, that will receive some further polishing and improvements, but is absolutely enjoyable and fun as it is now.
