Card Fencer

[h1] Card Fencer: A Steam Deck Addict's Review [/h1] [h2] General Impression [/h2] I'm absolutely loving this game! Don't let the relatively simple aesthetic turn you off, the gameplay's where the meat and potatoes are at. It has really solid deck-building where you have to experiment with cards to find out how they tick, and you can parry and counter enemies when they attack you making for a cool interactive twist on the simple tit-for-tat of turn-based RPGs. Most of your attacks and abilities are represented by cards that you collect off of defeated foes or from chests scattered around each level, and each region of the world seems to come with it's own card themes. As a big Magic: the Gathering and Pokemon player this game plays like a merging of the two where you're collecting cards instead of little monsters. Definitely a hidden gem for me. [h2] The Details [/h2] [h3] Interesting Choices [/h3] There's a number common card-game mechanics that are essentially optional in the form of "stickers". For example you might need to choose between having a mulligan at the start of each battle or starting each battle with poison immunity. The card-play starts out fairly simple, but as y…

[i] My Experience [/i] Although I confess to having no development experience myself, [b]Card Fencer[/b] seems like an absolute monster for a solo developer (Mike Milewski) to put together. There are combat mechanics like first strike (I'm not sure of the technical name for this in the game), blocks, and parries. There are also the cards themselves, their effects, and combinations between them. Some cards temporarily reduce defense, while others temporarily increase attack. Some cards inflict damage over time effects like poison or burning, while others outright paralyze. But, lastly, there are the stickers - and wow, the [b]stickers[/b]. Stickers are essentially passive abilities that you can equip (up to five by the end of the game), and there are like...[i]80[/i] in the game. In my experience, they all work perfectly and in combination, which just seems like a beast to implement. They're also quite creative! When I first started, I was putting every card I found into my deck. I wanted to see what sort of combinations I could make and which were most effective. While I absolutely would've welcomed some sort of in-game database to show me the various card combination effects aft…

Card fencer is a fun and challenging RPG. From the amount of card combinations to the variety of foes you face it was a great experience. I really do believe that this is a great buy for anyone trying to jump into the RPG world or people looking for something different and more unique than what the current gaming market has to offer. To keep it short and sweet overall my experience was great. I really had a great time playing and it took me 40 HOURS to beat the game. I definitely got my moneys worth and a great gaming experience. I am really looking forward to future games from this publisher.

This game is very good. i am enjoying it a lot and the Developer is very nice. they took action to address all the issues i was facing rather quickly and am very grateful for that. I definitely recommenced giving this game a try.
