Card City Nights 2

This game had no business being a "card game" and putting a BS platformer in there for one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ card. Any joy i had hoped to get out of this game is gone because of this ONE THING i now get to get tiled over that you did not need to put in here.

7/10

A trading card game that doesn't require a connection to a server, isn't riddled with micro-transactions and is fun. I like it a lot! :)

It's Good!

The first Card City Nights was such a fun and interesting game that I was really happy to see that there was a sequel and was excited to boot up the game in the hopes that this game would essentially be the same as the last one but better, longer, more refined, etc. Instead my opinion is that this game is just a straight up downgrade from the original. Positives 1) The art and character design is still very good with good music as well. 2) So far in my playthrough (Engine Core) the only thing I can say I like about this game over the original is the ability to flat out buy card packs or trade cards with npcs.

Negatives 1) I cannot stress enough how much I hate sharing a board with my opponent. Just let me do my own thing with my own board and also let me customize it again with some different options from last time. …

Card City Nights 2 is a distinctive and imaginative card-based adventure developed and published by Ludosity, and it stands as a confident evolution of the ideas introduced in the original Card City Nights. Rather than simply refining a deck-builder formula, the game leans hard into personality, humor, and unconventional mechanics, presenting a world where card games aren’t just entertainment but the very currency of social status, power, and progression. Set aboard the sprawling Starship Frivolity, the experience feels part visual novel, part puzzle game, and part strategic card battler, all wrapped in a lighthearted yet surprisingly intricate design that rewards both curiosity and careful thinking. The narrative framework places you in the role of an amnesiac character thawed out of cryogenic storage, quickly discovering that life aboard the station revolves around a single obsession: competitive card battles. Advancement through Frivolity’s many districts depends less on brute force and more on earning respect through clever play, defeating increasingly skilled opponents, and navigating a cast of eccentric personalities who range from smug professionals to outright absurd caric…
