Game Play

There are a lot of ins and outs to this game, so I’m only going give a brief overview of how

to play. First you pick your character by choosing either one of the premade characters or you can create your own.  You have three races – Human, Dwarf, and Elf – to choose from. You may also choose from a few different classes as well as hairstyle, skin color, and sex.

Play begins when you pick a spot on the map to explore. Once you’re inside you go tile by tile and uncover various loot and enemies. Each card has an assigned value that tells you how strong that card is. If it’s a loot card simply tap it to add it to your cards if you are under your allowed card space – if not, pass by it. If you uncover an enemy, you fight it by activating weapon cards, spells, or other various cards. Then the dice gets rolled and if you roll higher than your opponent’s card value, you win.

There are three islands you must beat to win the game and lots of areas inside each island you must pass through.  In between each section of the map, you have a chance to level up certain attributes, buy extra cards, and train your character to make them stronger.

Review

There is a ton of potential in this game. The idea is awesome and unique. Unfortunately, the

graphics are what hold this game back. This game includes rolling dice that took me a while to realize because I couldn’t see them there. To me, it feels more like graphics from an older Playstation 2 game. In order to compete with the market of games that include cards and characters similar to this, it would be better to take a more cartoonish approach, perhaps. I am not sure if it’s within the budget of the developer to hire someone else, but that might be my first recommendation.

While playing the game I didn’t really feel challenged at first. It didn’t seem I could lose even when I tried. During the first island in the game I didn’t even need to use any weapon cards to progress. Once I moved to the second island it then became really hard to win. It can be quite boring and people could potentially quit while playing the first island because of the lack of challenge there. There needs to be a balancing out in that area. Also, they need to encourage buying cards to make yourself more powerful so when you make it to the second island you stand a chance.

Conclusion

Despite the problem areas in graphics and balance, I did enjoy the concept and very much hope improvements are made. I admire the fact that this is a free app with no ads and no in-app purchases; 100% free. I’m not sure if they intend to later add any of this, but for the time it’s free. I would really like to see this make it to the tabletop category sometime in the future.
