Solitaire Call of Honor

Firing up Call of Honor Solitaire, I really thought this was going to be the game. This...was going to be the solitaire I've been searching MONTHS for; a game that had great presentation, unique power-ups, and the addition of quests that require you to replay previous boards to gather materials to proceed through the story. And it is definitely all of those things. But it's also incredibly easy once you realize that the card layouts are not completely random. Depending on how each hand goes, you can rack up huge streaks simply by playing things smart, which is great, don't get me wrong. But the lack of any real challenge means that most of the powerups are left unused, and you'll find yourself sitting on thousands of gold that you can use to buy an almost endless stream of Jokers to trivialize what little challenge the game has. It's a real shame. With just a bit of tweaking, Call of Honor could have been nearly perfect. Heck, even just adding a Hard Mode would've satisfied most of my complaints. So should you buy it? As a mindless time waster, I guess it's fine. I don't disagree that it is relaxing to drone away through each board without really having much to think about. If yo…

[b]solitaire call of honor[/b] (or the other way round, according to the title screen) is a typical +1/-1 solitaire in a typical fantasy setting. mandatory tutorial messages teach the basics, in case you were born yesterday. annoyingly, they keep coming up if you retry levels they're introduced on. [b]200 levels[/b] unlocked one by one, 3-star rating for no particular reason. besides collecting gold, you'll also do [b]quests[/b], mostly needing [b]resources to improve your land[/b]. they're collected from levels and used to erect various buildings for cosmetic and story reasons, the map gets nicely filled up by the end. there are [b]character bios[/b], a love triangle and a kingdom to protect. [b]wallpapers and 10 jigsaws using the same images[/b] are also unlocked with progression. [b]a bigger than usual variety of blocking mechanics[/b], some are pretty frustrating, but they're largely the same, only differing in their appearance. wildcards are rare but only 4 of them can be held and they have to be collected manually. [b]sometimes other helpers appear briefly on some cards[/b], if you can match them, they'll turn over a card, give more money or cards, etc. not a fan of the act…

This game is a bit of a bugfest. Twice at different points, the game froze and wouldn't let me click on anything, so I had to force quit out. The game didn't crash, it was still running. Also, there was a weird bug on one level where the top card was actually under the second card of the pile. Had to buy and use a joker on that stack just to get past that level. I've played some of the other solitaire games by this dev and haven't ran into any bugs. I would avoid this one.

Solitaire Call of Honor it is a fun game. I strongly recommend this game to every Solitaire lover.

Great mechanics and pleasant graphics. Plays well on my Windows and Macbook laptops.
