AXYOS: Battlecards

Can't give this one a good review, sadly. The bits and pieces seem nice, but it doesn't make for a fun gaming experience. The art and music is perhaps the best aspect of the game, the controls work fine as well. That said the game feels very under-documented, and the games do not seem very fun or balanced, I win every time without even knowing what I am doing. Perhaps the biggest weakness is that you cannot gain experience points except in multiplayer, and I have never been able to find anyone else to play it with. Combined with the near total lack of support, this seems to be an abandoned stub of a game, and not worth purchasing at any price.

Good: Art, music, modern/cyberpunk theme, quick games. Bad: Totally undocumented - no manual, no help, no mouseover hints, a pointless 30-second tutorial. No players. It looks like there's a potential game here waiting to be built, but feels like an unfinished alpha or demo. There's no explanation of basic gameplay, why you have two decks, which cards you can draw or play when, why there's a dice button that doesn't seem to do anything, why you sometimes receive cards without drawing them, why the same card sometimes has different costs, what the symbols in the corner of the screen mean, what the numbers on the sides mean, why your attacks sometimes cause more or less damage, how to get the special attacks and what they do, etc. It's all a big black-box mystery. You'd think with not understanding the rules, gameplay, or UI, that it would be difficult. But chances are, you'll win your very first game against the AI anyway, and every game thereafter. There's no real single-player game here in that it would be very difficult to lose even when you have no idea what you're doing. So it relies entirely on multiplayer, but no one seems to be currently playing it. At the moment, o…

AXYOS: Battlecards is a lazy, badly made "card battler" from the Russian asset flipper of the same name (Axyos), who's taken a little break from asset flipping that 3rd person hentai girl anime shooter (you know the one, there's dozens of copy + paste flips of it on Steam) to "make" this garbage (it's probably also an asset flip). This is a lame mobile app tier card battler where you swipe around cards on your iPhone screen to deploy soldiers and fight other soldiers. It's badly made, badly explained, incomprehensibly designed, and utterly unfun and valueless if you try to take this seriously as a game. But, like everything from this developer, it's not supposed to be a real game, he just wants your money for lazy Russian shovelware. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game feat…

Can't got it to work like I want on my Steamdeck.
