Unique Features
The story in this game progresses under the guidance of a game master (the person who controls the action in a tabletop RPG).
The world this story takes place in, including all the towns, dungeons and fields, is represented entirely by cards, as the player moves avatars to go on their adventure.
The outcome of the battles and encounters at the many different places you visit, and even destiny itself, will sometimes be resolved with the roll of a die…
You can also play a new and unique card game at the Game Parlour in town.
Would you like to accompany the Game Master on a journey into the world of Voice of Cards, brought to life through beautiful art and music?

Very enjoyable game with a GREAT story and characters, accompanied by fantastic music and appealing visuals for what is basically just cards on a screen. Genuinely surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, as it is unapologetically a simple game. HOWEVER, the gameplay can get fairly repetitive and for most of the game is way too easy however it picks up in the later stages. Easily a game to recommend for people wanting a more laid back experience. Yoko Taro once again proving how to make a compelling world.
My favorite in the series. Great story and fun gameplay.
good
The worst of the series. God this was a grind! Such a grind that I gave up probably very near the end - I just couldn't face continuing with a battle every three or four steps. And the RNG, God the RNG! Sure, I'm used to a lot of RNG, but not where actually getting your skills (and their upgrades) depends on particularly frustrating games of Find the Lady. (Except you don't get to see the Lady first!) Firstly, hope that the defeated drop some treasure (RNG), pick one of three cards, hope it's a skill or upgrade you want (RNG squared) and hope some more that you don't already have it (RNG cubed) because you only get one chance. Uninstalled.

10/10 if you are here for Yoko Taro or the unique vibes that a VoC game offers. 0/10 if you care even a little about gameplay. It all boils down to the fact that your "Skills" are tied to RNG hell: RNG to enter a fight with the monster you want. RNG to get a drop after the fight. ^ Buffed to 70% per battle after using an item during early game and 100% late game. RNG for the drop to be a monster card. RNG for the drop to be of the specific monster you want if different monsters were present. RNG for the drop to be of a higher star than the one you already had. RNG for you to even pick this perfect card among the other two that appear. RNG for you to not want to break the non-existent disc this game comes in. You can absolutely beat the game with lower tier cards. But each individual fight's reward screen is a middle finger reminding you that you could be doing more damage, healing or buffing more and the only reason you aren't is because you were not born lucky.
