About This Game

Anode Heart: Layer Null is a side-game semi-sequel to the monster tamer game of Anode Heart. This game focuses on the vastly expanded card game combat and becoming the No. 1 card master on the Server.

You play as Blank, a new player in the Duel Server, an in-between Layer of the Systems where everything is decided by Card Games. As you rise through the Server Ranks, you will start encountering the Shadowed, members of a mysterious organization with an unknown, but most probably evil goal.

[!] There are reoccurring characters and references to the first Anode Heart installment, but it's not necessary to know them in order to enjoy this game.

Game features:

* Unique card battling system

* Local (and direct connection) PvP

* 500+ cards to collect and play with

* 12 unique levels and card bosses

* New story and characters

* Tama monster DNA collection

* an Isometric Gameboy/PSX vibe

Card game minigame from Anode Heart is now expanded into its own game, with 10 new booster packs, re-balanced card sets and refurbished rules and mechanics. There are card bosses and Tama you can fight through the card game, and a tournament ranking style system.

This is the second game in the Anode Heart universe, serving as a bridge to the Sequel that will take place on the far side of Zearth, after the ending of the first game. [Layer Null] is set in a new Layer, with focus now entirely on the card game and a new plot surrounding it. There's a new cast of characters, but you may recognize a few familiar faces and names. I've carried over the lessons I learned through the release of my first game, so whether you're new to the A:H universe or a Virtual-slaying Veteran, I hope you'll enjoy this one as well!

The best digital TCG out there. Deck building has an incredible variety of viable strategies that increases with each area. Most of my time has been spent deck building and dueling other players in the tournaments run from the game's discord. Cards start simple so the mechanics can be learned, but become more complex as you get further in. Each element has it's own mechanical identity despite multiple play styles in each. I don't have enough room in this review to convey how many angles there are towards beating your opponent and running a strategy that's hard to disrupt. If you enjoy deck building, this is an easy recommend.

after all the sweaty nonsense I got through (tons of card cancelling/nullifying, card shop rng that makes grinding for cards tiresome, and modifiers that give the npc's crazy advantages) I'd say this has a good base game with a bunch of minor problems and inconveniences that I can't really forgive. If you like card games, you shouldn't treat it like one. If anything its more of a puzzle game where each new duel is a puzzle to be solved
