The Foretold: Westmark Legacy

This game is relatively short, sweet and simple,. Despite its apparent simplicity, what it does it does exceedingly well. Its nicely drawn and animated and lures you in with the affliction of ' just one more round' before you realize its 3am Overall seems to be made with a love and care that more expensive titles often lack.

Game is fun for the first couple of minutes , but then just becomes absolutely punishingly miserable. Failed run does nothing to help, so you are STRICTLY at the mercy of the RNG gods. And when they aren't in your favor, OH BOY is it just miserable. Only buy this if it is on a DEEP discount (like 1 or 2 dollars). Neat ideas, absolutely awful execution.

The core gameplay mechanic is interesting and somewhat fun to play but I can't recommend the game with due to the game breaking bugs and are completely unacceptable.

I want to give a good rating to this game because it was very fun to play and I enjoyed the flow of the game and the atmosphere. BUT there are some bugs and imbalances in the game, and it's sad to see that the developers have abandoned the game and haven't fixed it. I would recommend buying it for experiencing new interesting combat mechanics BUT do not expect to finish the game (there can be a black screen, a freeze, or imbalance in the cards). Also the game is very short. I wish the developers had invested more in this interesting project, added more events, balanced the value of the cards in the combat and overall - polished it. All the existing cons are already mentioned in others' reviews.

I bought this game because it was on sale despite the mixed reviews, and because of Cryptivo's name and my love for The Universim. I'd rate 6/10 and I think others should take advantage of this sale to try it too! Just be very patient. Cons: So many spelling errors! I saw a sentence where the word was right in the beginning and wrong at the end. It looks very sloppy. Game glitches out on some cut scenes or areas and is not fixable unless you restart the entire run. I was almost at the end of one and had to restart. They give narrative but there is no conclusion to the story. So if you're in it for that, no one will ever know. Can feel repetitive after a while and requires certain pathing to experience everything. The game only explains how it works once, not that it's that difficult to figure out. Although it took me a while to realize that you can alter the cards when they've reached the bottom and aren't locked in. It's rather frustrating when enemies lock you out of all options but one slot and you have to make sure you lock that in and nothing else. Pros: I love the concept of the game and it's very unique to me. I'm unsure if it's been done before. I like the voice acting! Or…

I'm going to recommend this one because I think that despite the bugs it has, it's a pretty interesting game. I liked the combat system with cards, numbers, and blocks. The use of items is quite cool. And the setting, with a touch of comedy, is very well-crafted. It's as if you're reading a "choose your own adventure" book written by Lovecraft. It looks like it won't be getting any more updates, which is a shame. It would have benefited from a little more polish and maybe some balance adjustments. But honestly, it's a fun game.
