About Arcana of Paradise —The Tower—


Choose from 20 children and perfect your deck as you battle against The Tower's bizarre inhabitants in real time! Time your guards, combo your attacks, charge up powerful magic, and collect legendary relics in your search for food, as you guide the children to the bottom!

Features

  • Real-Time Card Battles: Think fast! The Tower’s inhabitants won’t wait, so you’ll need to think on your feet and react to what they throw at you in real-time! Turn your cards (and some enemies!) on their heads, or deal a new hand if you don’t have what you need.
  • The Tower’s Endless Mystery: The Tower itself is endless, and each floor has new challenges waiting for you on every adventure. Choose your path, face different enemies, collect different cards and relics, and make the tough choice between gathering bread and pushing deeper toward the bottom!
  • Distinct Characters: Each of the children living in The Tower belong to one of three distinct combat classes, and has their own passive traits and starting cards. Venture into The Tower, increase your affinity with them and unlock more traits and starting cards!
  • An Enthralling Story and Epic Soundtrack: Guide the children through The Tower, and uncover more of its secrets with each run. Unlock new events, new cards, rescue new friends, solve puzzles, and more, all set to a melancholic and at times wacky soundtrack.

It's not polished. There is a lot of great things about this game, but it feels like few of the strings to connect all of those things were tied up nicely. Instead, they were just triple knotted to make sure the game was playable. There is a _lot_ of randomness in the encounters, but there should have been more tying together of what is possible to encounter. The different stages have some unique enemies, but the special chests that you encounter feels truly random, and that's extremely difficult to plan for. So instead you just have hope, or gather anything and everything you can to unlock the chests. And there are a lot of instances much like this. The game feels too loose when there should have been more cohesion. Is it worth a buy? Maybe. If you really like rogue-likes, and are will to deal with, what feels like to me, too much random, then sure. But for most people? Probably not.

Is forsaken children having to survive in mysterious harsh world a genre? If you're familiar with the idea you know what I mean. Either way, it's one of those, complete with stylish art and haunting choir music you'd expect from the premise. It's listed as card game, but it's more an action game. You build a simple deck, but the combat and challenges are in turn based real time, where you have to make quick decision picking cards to attack or defend, like in megaman battle network or one step from eden.

I played this game in full and got most, if not all of the achievements. I love it to death and it's a wonderful little story game. It tends to glitch out at times, and also isn't the most difficult. Mostly, it's about finding the right keys to the right puzzles. The Tower is never trying to kill you, it's trying to teach you. I would highly recommend this if you would like a relaxing, lightly grindy game with a good story. I would not recommend it if you're solely interested in deckbuilders. Much of the game relies on RNG and luck to get the correct items to meet specific situations.

This game had so much in it that makes for a magical world. I was instantly drawn to the idea behind it. Pros: The good world-building and art direction. A nice version of the card-building genre Characters and enemies that are hard not to love Cons: Can get repetitive Was easier than I would have hoped It feels like it is half-finished and has so much more to offer. I would watch this if it was an anime, I think it could be amazing but it stops just shy from being amazing. It could easily be fixed with some work and hopefully, in an update it becomes so much more. Pending there is no update I give it 3/5 Tower dwellers but think it easily could be 5 with a bit more work.
