About This Game

System Crash is a story-driven cyberpunk collectible card game inspired by Blade Runner and Neuromancer. When corporations own everything and the line between man and machine is blurred, your only option is to fight to survive!

Choose your Runner persona, build your deck, and challenge the Megacorps on their own turf!

Features:

- Face challenging opponents from corporate security forces and automated defense systems to street gangs and bounty hunters.

- Cunning AI will probe your weaknesses and test your strategy.

- Recruit agents and equip them with Black Market weapons and cybernetics. Experiment to discover powerful combos.

- Build your deck from more than 100 exciting cards to choose from.

- Play through an exciting story campaign. From the streets of San Angeles 2150 to the towering corporate arcologies.

- Interact with cunning hackers, ruthless mercenaries, scheming executives and deadly assassins. When everyone has a price, who can you trust?

Note - System Crash follows the "Living Card Game" model. There are no microtransactions or random booster packs, no F2P grinding mechanics. When you purchase the base game, all cards in the base set are included and can be unlocked via gameplay. When expansions are released, the same principle applies, you'll get all expansion cards with that expansion, as a once-off purchase.

Not a bad game, but a boring one. I would probably have rated it Yes if it was not so long for no good reasons. You will be literally forced into multiple combats that are all the same, for the sake of making the game last longer. This is usually not a good idea. This game, with a total duration of 5-8 hours would have been fine. Longer is not better: it's just boring!

At 18 hours I finished the first story with over 100,000 credits and never buying a single card. It's a very fun game, what you see is what you get. I'm glad I finally installed this gem from 2016. (I play games in my library in reverse-release order--oldest to newest--that way the games are always finished and the community has plenty of threads.) I can't speak to the rest of the game, yet, only the first "module." What I hate: 1) You don't get to play the decks you want; the game determines what you will play. What I mean is, you have to make a bunch of counter decks and trot those out to beat every foe. Sure, you might make a deck that you really like and you might get to play it half the time. MIGHT. About the only way to get to play it even that much is to keep restarting missions waiting for the perfect draw and to go first. 2) The UI is god-awful: You are constantly clicking for no reason at all. The dialog is written in landscape mode with big bright Nintendo lettering,...
