Dark Cards

The other games by these devs are underappreciated gems, particularly Dark Mist, but also the better known Blood Card, both of which are fantastic. In this case, however, the devs have missed the mark, badly. It's worth noting up front that Dark Cards at this point is essentially abandonware. Seriously devs, please ask Valve to withdraw this from sale, write it off to experience and move on with your lives. Continuous microimprovements really aren't going to be enough to make this game any better without breaking the entire thing down and starting again from scratch. Dark Cards plays out as a series of battles in which your goal is to whittle down your opponent's 30 health to 0 before they whittle down your 30 health to 0. You do this on a board of face down cards not unlike the kid's game Memory but without having to match pairs. Cards on the board are made up half by your premade deck and half by your opponent's. You know whose deck a card normally comes from by the colour (blue are yours, red your opponent's), but you can click on either your or your opponent's card back without penalty, after which any abilities of that card become yours regardless of the deck the card start…

Someone PLEASE pick up these devs and make a high production touchscreen cardgame together!!!! Everything they create is INCREDIBLE!!!!!!! HOWEVER! ...this one needed more TLC to be considered complete. The idea was solid, might make for a good boardgame, but in it's current state it's not enough. Major Kudos though for them crafting a funny storyline out of the visual assets, it was awesome lol

I do enjoy their other card games, but this one is just so boring and slow. Music was really annoying as well. I found the controls sometimes delayed, and the text box collision to display the full text without animation should be based on the box not the text itself.

This games is so slow and boring. Every battle is slog to get through. Even if you like deck builders you won't like this.

It is a decent card battler with a pretty fun twist on the mechanics featuring a board where both players decks are played face down. Each turn, rather than drawing, you can flip some cards (yours OR your opponents) and it has a lot of cool ways that it utilizes this main feature. The mechanics are pretty fun and solid, although there are some pretty blatantly broken cards like Mask, that can easily carry you through a whole game / run with almost no effort. The game has a bit of a silly, surreal, SciFi vibe and It is much more story focused than their other games, I always wanted the story and lore for their Blood Card games, although unfortunately I did not really like this ones aesthetic or story, but that is purely personal preference, if you are down for the more strange and silly approach it may be for you. Its a fun and short game, it has a lot of potential, and the PVP could have been epic, but sadly the servers do not seem to be up, and I think the company went under so patches are not likely to happen. While it gets a positive rating since I had some fun with it, I ultimately rate it pretty low due it not getting any more content / patches, having balance issues, P…

Pretty fun game, though would be nice to have a bit more explanation, note that when you select a card you can pick from anywhere and also that the gems near your name is a growing number of draws made each turn. Couldn't quite figure out the "good" ending for the campaign yet but is an overall fun card battler.
