The idea of this game is awesome! Also the art is good and cards are well designed in every way. However the game suffers from bad core mechanics. The draw mechanic makes the game very luck based. You often end up with your hand full of cards which you can't play. Currently there is no way to discard cards from your hand, although this seems to be in development for the next version. There no multiplayer, deck building, tutorial or even main menu currently. It seems like a demo or a prototype of a good game.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvBlp6plGw It's a trading card game without people to trade cards with. There is no deck creation and there is no ability to choose anything in your deck. Everything in the game is a matter of pure randomness of what you get. Maybe you get 20 action cards for 20 rounds in a row and you lose by default. Maybe that happens to the computer. At the end of the day in a strategy game you should feel like you deserved to win it, not that randomness handed it over to you. The game is very limited in what it can do and has no menues. No menues means on multiplayer, no game modes, no challenges, no achievements, and no real room for expansion. If you're thinking that this is a risky buy, don't buy it. It's really just a one time playthrough until you realize how loaded the literal cards are. If you go to their website they announced that instead of implementing features people want into this game they're just going to make a new one with them. This gam...

Here's the first thing you need to know about this game: there's no menu and no modes, which means no multiplayer, a core requirement for any card game. Here's the second thing you need to know: everything is completely luck based; no skilled is involved whatsoever. It's such a simplistic concept with the only real game mechanics being playing the random cards you get and waiting. The requirements to win are also randomly generated, but not balanced, so sometimes you'll just have a way lower or higher requirement than your opponent. It's a nice concept, but it needs a lot more work, or at least some work in order to be enjoyable. Do NOT buy this game.

This is a cheap, simple card game. The greatest flaw is the draw mechanic (always draw up to 5 cards), which means that you'll be sitting on useless cards, while the opponent pulls of combo after combo. Pros: - Good idea for a card game - Great production value, highly polished - Nice art style - Very cheap - Play it for two hours and you'll get your money's worth. Cons: - One big design flaw (draw mechanic) makes this game highly dependent on luck - Very low replay value

This is a cool little casual card game for when you have a few minutes to kill and dont feel like getting into anything too heavy. You and the AI have identical decks of cards, and try to prevent each other from achieving your objectives.. pretty simplisitic on the surface, but is deceptively strategic once you get into it. The quotes on the cards are awesome, especially if you've had any exposure to the game dev industry, the art is cool too, music is ok, but gets a little repetitive. It's not multiplayer (yet?), and not a trading card game or deck building game, so dont expect anything along those lines.. but still worth it for the couple of bucks that it costs.

I like this game. Fair number of dynamics at play. That being said, you can figure out how to win every time fairly quickly, so not a ton of hours of game play here. But still, pretty fun.

The game is fun. It pokes fun at what making a game is like and I enjoy it. The card play is simple and easy to understand. The only issue I have with the game is that you have no option to discard cards, so if you end up with a card in your hand you cannot use, you cannot get rid of it either, it turns all situations into, "do I play this card or hold it", for every card, except developers where you have to choose which department. Without the ability to discard there is no way to mitigate the RNG in the game so if you get unlucky, you just lose, no matter what. Still overall for a few bucks, not bad, worth a few hours ot time.

There is no depth in this game. The most optimal play is almost always to play all you can.

The game is cheeky with a lot of game development references. If you are a game developer in a large company, this game will surely make you smile. The gameplay is pretty simple, you have 5 cards, you can play as many as you want per turn as soon as they have a valid target. You play against the AI and the first player to complete all of his game tasks wins. There is no deck customization of any kind which I could see. The main issue with the game is that it's extremely based on luck (if you don't draw the right card, you will never win), but at least you can get a laugh out of it. Recommended at a very low price point.

Surprisingly insightful card game. Based on some of the action cards you can deal, it smells like the guy behind it has worked in a studio before (or even currently) and I kinda dig this. I don't typically play card games, and bought the game out of curiousity but was pleasantly surprised.
