I found the Invisible Fist purely by chance and I found it really fresh since most games these days present topics that are more "acceptable" or avoid trying to offend anyone. Failcore does the opposite and goes full on. The game may ruffle some feathers but at least one can have a good time playing. It's not a huge game but as you play the writing and the variety of cards keep it fresh even if you don't earn enough stars to make it through. The cards themselves are unique, unexpected, sometimes a little awful (in the sense why should I make my character do that??) But there are really some things you MUST do to survive or to at least finish the weekly quest on time. There's a lot of great attention to detail in the icons and the descriptions. I felt like the whole system is set up in a way that you do get a different experience playing each character. Sometimes the status ailments change things up a lot and make it even more challenging. While this is just a game, there might be a...

I'd score this between a 6.4...up to a 8.9 Which would of course be...on a scale of 1.002 to 11.822 (hopefully that's not convoluted at all...I strive for clarity through uniform grading systems) Bottom Line... Creative, stylistic time management/card game (kind of a card game....you don't really draw cards as far as I can tell...but it's all good), I like the offbeat humor and I love the music. It's interesting....and I think I'd put it down as oddly appealing...I feel like for the price I should probably be getting a little bit more...or perhaps the mechanics aren't as well developed as I'd like for them to be at the price point it's at or something like that...but I'm enjoying the game and it's one of those more than the sum of it's parts things that make giving it any kind of objective score tricky....thus the range I gave above (see above). But yeah I'd recommend it.
Invisible Fist is a game I ended up refunding. It looks pretty good in the trailers, but once you start playing, it is bad. Poorly designed, poorly thought out, and not that interesting. This game has no tutorial. I have played many card games, and this game is like none of them. It has a whole bunch of confusing mechanics which, to be fair, I did eventually figure out. However, they are not explained ingame at all. The UI for this game is abysmal. Things happen for seemingly no reason. You have to witness something happening multiple times to figure out what you're even seeing. When I first started the game, I immediately saw a 60 second timer counting down, which made me panic. I thought the rounds were all timed, and thus started panic-clicking random buttons. I died in three turns with no idea what I even did. It turns out the 60 seconds timer thing is a random daily quest your character may have to do, on occasion, but it's not explained at all and feels like something you just...
A stylish card & time management game with political and social commentary. The amount of random actions and effects available offers decent replayability, although some combinations might feel frustrating and need a bit of balancing out. While game isn't hard to figure out, short tutorial as well as more tool tips would be a welcome addition. Gets bonus points for humor and really nice soundtrack!
[h1] A Card Game KING review [/h1] A short game that takes a jab at capitalism and does not take itself seriously. Unfortunately, it also does not provide very interesting gameplay either. if you are looking for a silly card game game for an afternoon, it definitely fits the bill but lacks any content for longer engagement. This is why it's a careful recommendation - know that you are buying a short, simple and silly game. To give you a brief idea how the gameplay looks: You choose one of 3 characters (2 are locked fro some reason), each with their own sets of cards with the goal of defeating the "Invisible" Fist 8 times (once peer week). You have 24h each day to play cards which all cost time. Cards can either damage the fist, heal you or reduce stress which accumulates by playing damage cards. Too much stress and cards are more expensive, but keeping a bit of stress is good as your character is motivated and reduces cost of cards. And that's pretty much it... There is only one bo...
We sure do live in a society alright
Quirky game with lots of humor.
No tutorial.
Very hard, very stressful. I wont fault it for that though because that is the point. I keep getting frustrated yet I keep coming back. Hilarious concept, great execution and a bit too real sometimes.
Speaking as a socialist, this game is part of the reason that people think everything made by socialists is garbage.
