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.

The game is decently fun but there is no content what so ever. I wish there was a way to edit my deck and a story mode or something. As things stand it’s not worth the money as the only option available is to fight the AI.

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.

Creatures of Aether
It’s a free game so try it for yourself. I wouldn’t recommend it otherwise.
The game is based on Triple Triad, a Final Fantasy mini card game. It expands on the idea in many, many directions, most of which aren’t as well planned as the original. The game has excellent sprite art and music but there’s a serious lack of game modes, and the ones that do exist don’t work.
Paying players do have an advantage as they can power up cards and get new cards faster than non-paying players. There are other gameplay modes that are fair for both players, however.
– Real player with 135.7 hrs in game
Have you ever ACTUALLY tried to play Triple Triad? Triple Triad is kinda ass. Creatures of Aether is absolutely fantastic compared to it, though! The biggest boon is that its 4x4 rather than 3x3, but the developers care about player feedback when cards are busted, and will change it if need be. Recently they made unlocking all the cards can be done in a straightforward way. Gameplay is easy to understand but has a good amount of depth to it.
“How P2W is this game?” One thing about the game that isn’t great is that it seem P2W. Players you encounter who are running decks with higher leveled cards than you will feel like a brickwall. Don’t let that discourage you! You can beat people whos decks are higher level, it just takes time to learn the ins and outs of the gameplay. If you’re in the middle tier of ladder (~5000 medals) you will probably encounter a lot of Lv1-2, with maybe a few Lv3s. Once you get to about 7000+ you will start hitting the beefier stuff. But by then, you probably have developed enough skills to take them down, no matter the level.

Last Kingdom - The Card Game
A fun P Vs. E style deckbuilder very similar in style to this dev’s earlier released Business Wars but with some cool fantasy twists. A few of the innovative features:
-
The player at random intervals can earn a choice of boosters (a set of 3 thematic cards based on the chosen bestower). The player can see exactly what cards would be granted in the 3 pack before deciding.
-
Each round you choose between 2 castles, and the one not defended is lost passing onto the player a nasty side effect. So as your character and deck grow in power, you’ll have more and more of these passive curses to deal with.

What is this game about?
Can a 120 card deck work? Yes.
Last Kingdom - The Card Game is, obviously, a card game but what’s so different about it comparing every other roguelike deckbuilders? For starters, you can end up with over 100 cards in your deck so it’s definitely not your typical deck builder but let’s start from the very beginning.

Staff Only
I really begin to love this game. In the beginning I thought “Well, game mechanics somewhat like ‘night cities’, fun, but not too hard to win” but man what a difference it makes, if you add rules which add/remove boni and mali to certain cells. For 10 bucks a must have in my opinion.

“There are so many “just another card games” out there, but this one is not one of them.”
I used this sentence in my Banners of Ruin review, but it fits perfectly here too.
The audio and the visual design is outstanding and the art style matches flawlessly with the music and the atmosphere.
Gameplaywise, the passives for each God, the 9 different starting class and the “choose your path” type Endless mode offer a lots of replayability while the Campaign lets you learn the game while you progress thru it.

Dragon Creek
Before I get into this review, I will definitely state that this game is honestly not for everyone. In fact, the game is very niche- which is not a criticism, but it is something to mind when contemplating purchasing this game.
The game is very simple, but its simplicity is the beauty of it. You can generate a dragon at the shrine, train it up, battle it, and rank it up.
If someone is looking for a farm simulator with dragon training, this is not that game. The farm can be upgraded, but all upgrades pertain to improving your dragon’s situation. The only thing remotely akin to farming is purchasing the plot upgrades- which you cannot place yourself- so you can grow your own food so you do not need to buy food for your dragon as often from the food stand.

Wow, Dragon Creek. Where to begin…
It’s so adorable! It’s a simple, cute game about raising your own dragon. You have 4 different species that you can get, them being the European Dragon, the Eastern (Lung) Dragon, the Cat-Lung, and the Wyvern. There will be more species on the way too, so keep an eye out. The dragons can be generated through a randomizer or you can put “codes” in to create your own. (Hint: Try messing around with specific dragon names…) You feed, pet, and wash your dragon in this game.
