Kingdom of Cards

I played the Demo when a while ago. I thought it was fun, and with some evolution it may get to where it needs to. Unfortunately I don't think that's where it is. It's a fun game, please do not get me wrong. And the price tag is low. But once you've played your second game after unlocking a bunch of things - it doesn't get tons different each play through. It's mostly waiting and trying out new card combos. The strategy level isn't super high. It's not a bad game at all. I'd rate it middling if I could. It's more so just a game that hasn't fully flourished into what it can be. I'm in no means saying don't get it, I'm saying that be careful that you super like the gameplay loop you played in the demo.)

The game play feels more like Cultist Simulator rather than Stacklands. [list] [*]Game is split into multiple runs with meta progression unlocking new cards in between runs. [*]Runs have an ending/goal - the map boss. [*]Unlocked cards either new locations to explore, or new castle lands for new resources [*]Different castle lands give different resources, so the unlocked castle lands are not necessarily straight upgrades from the older castle lands - they're still useful. [*]Castle Lands can sometimes drop Location cards which can be explored/conquer to give resources usually obtained from the other castle lands - you could potentially get every resource. [/list] Some cons: [list] [*]Only 1 building (Blacksmith) for crafting resources into new items. Quite limiting since the better equipment and resources need to be crafted. [*]Only 4 Castle Lands building in a run at the same time. The castle land can be chosen, but [*]Location cards do not drop frequently from castle lands, so there might be some waiting period if your Castle Lands do not generate the resources that you are looking for to craft with. [/list] Having the game split into multiple …

An interesting take on the Kingdom Building Genre. A little grindy to figure things out and you will replay alot, but it keeps getting interesting as you learn more. You have to learn as you go though and experiment... What you can do keeps expanding as you learn more and more possibilities become available. It is alot of trail and error and learning while trying things out...

Charming card game with rock-scissors-paper combat system. It has some gamebreaking bugs, doesn't save on game exit and some aspects are quite frustrating. However it is still entertaining enough for the asking price.

Once you start combining cards you just cannot stop! Amazing game with beautiful art. Very simple mechanics but with infinite possibilities. I love it!

[h1]Just not a very good game overall[/h1] It's basically a dumbed down version of WichHand, which, in turn is a dumbed down version of Stacklands. You have these plots of land that generate cards for free, you combine them into warriors and fight enemies. Problem is, no part of this process is particularily satisfying. [list] [*]Crafting is tedious and you even cannot. [*]Most of your units are trash. [*]Even those that aren't can still die from a few lucky strikes. [*]And if you fail combat three times... well, start over. [/list] Art style and music are somewhat good and give some enjoyment in the beginning. Then novelty wears off and game starts wasting way too much of your time. [i]Also, duck arts from game and achievements are absolutely obnoxious. Hate every one of them.[/i]
