About Steamalot: Epoch's Journey
Steamalot: Epoch's Journey is a medieval steampunk tactical card game. As a player you build a deck of characters, skills, and equipment. During a game players play characters onto a battlefield. Then those characters maneuver around the field in turn based combat. The objective is to eliminate all of the opponent's characters from the board (or in some cases just their commander card). Cards can be gained and leveled between games.
Steamalot is set in the medieval period where the development of steampunk technology has begun earlier than the traditional Victorian setting indicates. Instead of magic the populous is amazed with new intricate clockwork and steam technology. Merlin is a gifted engineer and friend to the King. Player's follow the story of Patric Epoch, Merlin's apprentice, who must help him determine the root cause behind rising disturbances in the kingdom. The game uses a combination of 16bit and cell shaded graphics.

I think I've played enough to give my opinion on this game. I like it. I don't want to stop playing, I got that "just one more turn!" bug. Quick note before I go further, this is a PC port of a phone game, so if you are biased against phone games you might want to keep that in mind. However, I think there's a free version out there you could try to see if you like the gameplay. And if you want to complain about having to pay for something that is free in a different format, I'd like to remind you that on Steam this game has trading cards which you can sell to make back some of your money. And the price isn't bad, $5 seems right. If you have issues about price, then wait for a sale. This game is a tactical turn-based card game. You have a deck of cards with fighter charcters (and animals), weapons and armor, and other items that affect buffs and debuffs. There is a main story but there's also online PVP. So far I've only been playing the story against the AI. In this game you lose if your commander gets killed, so guard him (or her) carefully. It's like the king in chess. Checkmate and it's game over. You can choose who the commander is when you start each level. C…17 found this helpful
Being a battle card player, I really wanted to like this game. However, this game is confusing and not intuitive at all. Games like Magic the Gathering are much more complicated but the game flow and rules are so much more intuitive than this game. Sadly, I can't recommend this game.8 found this helpful
I was surprised there weren't more reviews for Steamalot so I decided to write this in support of this small game. This game is quite fun despite being a phone port. Gameplay is simple square grid turn based strategy, which can be difficult at times though never overwhelmingly so. There are a few things I would like to point out that I don't think have been said already: 1) Deck sizes are 20 cards which seems to limit some of the possibilities for customization (though it probably also keeps the levels from going on for too long) 2) Card packs are purchased with coins that are won from battles or won from completing certain battles. You can buy more expensive packs with guaranteed rarer cards, but I found that just buying the cheapest pack with 5 random cards provided enough uncommon and rare cards to be a better purchase, especially since the extra common cards can be sold for coins or used to level other cards. 3) The developers have posted all the card creation combinations on their website. If you want to create cards, check out the list there. The combinations would otherwise be too difficult and time-consuming to figure out on your own. 4) Leveling cards is not necessary …6 found this helpful
An interesting mix of strategy, crafting, card game and turn-based strategy. Even though it looks like it has simple mechanic and graphics, this game actually has that "one-more-round" effect. Extremely addictive...what more would you want form an indie game!4 found this helpful
Tags: Tactical Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Ghetto MS paint medieval assets. TCCG elements to build tactical squad. No proper fullscreen. Removed multiplay but useless button remains. The gimmick here is that you can TCCG your way to a better roster of tactics fighter by grinding coins and then going to the fake cash shop to buy ghetto booster packs. Upon closer inspection it is not all that fundamentally different from the traditional way of simply hiring people based on available ressources, and maximizing party synergy. While it is not a bad gimmick it does not save the title's value.1 found this helpful
Interesting strategy/card building game, a bit on the repetitive side.
