Kingdom of Cards

An interesting take on the Kingdom Building Genre. A little grindy to figure things out and you will replay alot, but it keeps getting interesting as you learn more. You have to learn as you go though and experiment... What you can do keeps expanding as you learn more and more possibilities become available. It is alot of trail and error and learning while trying things out...

The game play feels more like Cultist Simulator rather than Stacklands. [list] [*]Game is split into multiple runs with meta progression unlocking new cards in between runs. [*]Runs have an ending/goal - the map boss. [*]Unlocked cards either new locations to explore, or new castle lands for new resources [*]Different castle lands give different resources, so the unlocked castle lands are not necessarily straight upgrades from the older castle lands - they're still useful. [*]Castle Lands can sometimes drop Location cards which can be explored/conquer to give resources usually obtained from the other castle lands - you could potentially get every resource. [/list] Some cons: [list] [*]Only 1 building (Blacksmith) for crafting resources into new items. Quite limiting since the better equipment and resources need to be crafted. [*]Only 4 Castle Lands building in a run at the same time. The castle land can be chosen, but [*]Location cards do not drop frequently from castle lands, so there might be some waiting period if your Castle Lands do not generate the resources that you are looking for to craft with. [/list] Having the game split into multiple …

Charming card game with rock-scissors-paper combat system. It has some gamebreaking bugs, doesn't save on game exit and some aspects are quite frustrating. However it is still entertaining enough for the asking price.

stuff needed is behind unlocks, so it seems you have to loose your runs in order to progress.

I tried to like this, I really did. But the game is just bad. The core loop isn't fun and that's not helped by the fact that it has several game-breaking bugs that, looking at the steam forum, were reported over a year ago and still aren't fixed. Not suprising given that the game was apparently dumped out on early access, released 'full' and then received it's last and latest patch all in the span of six months.

[h1]Just not a very good game overall[/h1] It's basically a dumbed down version of WichHand, which, in turn is a dumbed down version of Stacklands. You have these plots of land that generate cards for free, you combine them into warriors and fight enemies. Problem is, no part of this process is particularily satisfying. [list] [*]Crafting is tedious and you even cannot. [*]Most of your units are trash. [*]Even those that aren't can still die from a few lucky strikes. [*]And if you fail combat three times... well, start over. [/list] Art style and music are somewhat good and give some enjoyment in the beginning. Then novelty wears off and game starts wasting way too much of your time. [i]Also, duck arts from game and achievements are absolutely obnoxious. Hate every one of them.[/i]
