Yamafuda! 2nd station

Yamafuda! 2nd station

This is probably the most relaxing card game I’ve ever played. Just chill out and hike up some mountains with your friend while listening to some comfy music.

As a card game, the mechanics aren’t too deep or combo/synergy heavy but that’s part of the charm. You’re intended to take it easy and carefully hike your way up the mountain rather than cycle your deck twenty times and clear it in one turn. You don’t fight waves of enemies, instead each mountain is like one long endurance battle with some breaks here and there.

As many small games it’s a bit rough around the edges, but the rest makes up for it. First few mountains look simple, as if the cards/items don’t matter. A bit later you’ll need both luck and strategy to reach the summit.

Most importantly, although I’m not quite sure how punching a buff dog is a metaphor for climbing a mountain, in terms of theme and aesthetic this game is still feels incredibly refreshing and creative compared to the typical card games.

I’m also really grateful that the developer took time and effort to translate the game to English.

Long ago - when ancient ruins were once flourishing civilizations and their populace lived in idyllic bliss - a mystical star governed all. Loyal disciples, called Six-Sided Oracles, were blessed by their star, granting them the strength to seal away the gift of heavenly bodies within mystic relics.

All was perfect and harmonious. Until that one fateful day - The Crimson Dawn Cataclysm. A ferocious inferno sundered down from the sky, engulfing the entirety of the star system, crumbling the foundations of their society and corrupting the souls of the weak-willed. The disciples of the star were lost to the chaos - their creations scattered across a vast world of ruin. Could there still exist those who were capable of wielding their power?

Eons later, brave young scions awoke to a mysterious call beckoning them to the ruins of the ancient disaster. It is there they find the lost six-faced relics of legend and writings detailing the original Six-Sided Oracles, a vengeful deity, and a Corruption Plague. The new Six-Sided Oracles embark on a journey to save their star system and search for the secrets of their destructive history.

All the joy o a CCG without the microtransactions, the rules are pretty intuitive and if your familiar with hearthstone and shadowverse youll catch on extremely quick, translation can be a bit wonky but once you understand what means what its easy.

PRO tip if you buy it your 1st run click the gear in the top right, from there you can change language to english

Another issue I found is if your trying to use the chatbox or add a friend ID be in windowed mode as the virtual keyboard will not work in full screen infact it can crash your game

I am half way through this game and I am loving it! So many different robots and maps, so I must think of different ways to defeat them every time. I had so many close shaves but tries something new and beat the enemy robot. It’s fun to play with friends too, though not so many players in the online.

I wanted to post a quick review now, but will add more when it is all finished.

Overdungeon

Overdungeon

UPDATED AUGUST 2019. Since my original review, updates have still slowed, and the developers don’t always do a great job of communicating what they’ve updated, but they’ve made clear strides in adding content to the game and improving its balance.

You probably already know about what Overdungeon is from its store page, but just in case, this game is a roguelike deck-building game. Some have compared it to Slay the Spire, but it is different enough to be its own beast. You traverse through dungeon-style areas fighting enemies with the cards in your deck, acquiring power-up artifacts and encountering some “events” along the way. The gameplay is fast, furious and occasionally frustrating. The concept is great, and I enjoy the nature of the small, arena-style battles. Finding combinations of cards and relics that work feels satisfying and can provide quite a rush when it comes together.

Born of Fire

Born of Fire

Nice game for an early access. It is playable although not release material yet.

It is quite similar to Slay The Spire, but adds the possibility to summon creatures and play PvP.

  • Good graphics

  • Free to play

  • Easy to learn, mechanics are quite simple

  • Looks quite repetitive in current state

  • Still a lot of bugs

  • Not much versatility right now in deck building, compared to Slay The Spire

For single player, deck thinning with armaments seems to be quite a strong strategy.

Real player with 231.9 hrs in game

Coming from a competitive card game background, this game has a really solid foundation to be a great game. I could talk about how the game takes the elements of slay the spire and makes them better, i could also talk about the many unique interactions this game has to hold deep within the mechanics of the game. But most of all, the devs care. The devs seem to care what the players think of their game, are willing to push out fixes for their game ASAP. These are all reasons you should at least take an hour or two to learn the game and try it out.

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.

10/10: Highly recommend

Playing this game from the very first day of release I can say this game has a huge potential.

Buggs are fixed within few hours and new content is added nearly every day.

Even though game mechanics are simple as you spend more time playing you can master these mechanics and find your own way playing this game.

Based on your skills one run can take from few minutes up to hour and more.

For now, you can play few modes:

Endless Dungeon Crawl - 3x3, 4x3, 4x4

Real player with 17.9 hrs in game

This is a great game when you just want to play something for 15 minutes. This is a card game but not one where you have a deck of your own and play cards on a field. Instead there is a grid of cards randomly chosen from enemies, weapons, healing potions, and more, and YOU are one of the cards! You move around the grid up, down, left, right by clicking on the card next to you that you want to go to. If there is an enemy there you’d better have a weapon otherwise you take damage equal to the enemies HP. Your HP is 10 and you need to be careful not to take too much damage because healing potion cards do not always show up when you need them. If your HP goes to zero, you die. Other helpful cards are shrines that make every enemy on the board poisoned or on fire for a few turns. There are also spikes to watch out for. They go up on one turn then down on the next. You can walk over them when they are down (it looks like ground with a bunch of holes in it) and that neutralizes that threat. Some enemies move and follow you as you take your turn but most stay where they are so you can maneuver around them, grab a weapon, collect coins and then come back to kill them. But each move you make creates a space for a new card to appear and it could be an enemy, a weapon, spikes, healing potion, or just flat empty ground.
