[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36948155-Card-Game-KING/] FOR MORE CARD GAMES FOLLOW US CARD GAME KING There are certainly not a lot of card games that would just give you fun tools and say "Have fun breaking the game. And once you are done, here are some other characters to break the game in a different way". This is very true for Blood Card. There are really a lot of ways to become an unstoppable machine, where any notion of challenge becomes an afterthought. People coming from hard-as-nails games like StS may not appreciate the lack of challenge. Personally though, I found it refreshing for a game to allow me to go wild with different combos and see if I can kill Death before reaching the exit. Speaking of Death, after a few rounds Death appears and starts attacking the player and enemies alike. It's an interesting mechanic as it becomes completely possible to win without attacking by surviving Death's blows and let it take care of your enemies. Or, alternatively, you can try killing Death, slowly whittling down their large health pool and winning this way. Another somewhat unique mechanic is that your deck is your life. I firmly believe that this is often a problematic mechanic, but Blood Card proved it can be done right by having a large pool of cards that let your manipulate cards by duplicating, drawing from draw/discard or creating new cards. Even adding poison to your deck becomes a viable strategy as these cards effectively add your health pool until drawn. Lastly, the characters (some being under "challenge" for some reason) are very varied and each open up new ways to play the game and build your deck around. Despite the overall lack of challenge, Blood Card is well designed game with a lot of cool combos to play with. The positive + Lot of different combos to explore + Strong and impactful cards + Well designed characters that you can build your deck around The neutral * I'm not a fan of "deck is your health" mechanic, but they did a good job at covering its biggest weaknesses, such as losing important cards to damage. The negative - The game is fairly easy to beat. Those seeking a challenge will be disappointment. But players just wanting to make some combos will find many tools to play with. Conclusion: While being fairly easy to beat, Blood Card introduces a number of interesting mechanics and let players have fun breaking the game by creating busted decks.

Is it as good as Slay the Spire? No Is it trying to be Slay the Spire? Not at all Is it at times very unbalanced with very broken combos? Yes and that's part of the fun. Is it worth the full price? Maybe, I'd rank this as one of the top 5 roguelike deckbuilders. (more info on those at the bottom) Blood Card 1 is an interesting and well executed roguelike deckbuilder with more personality than most and mechanics that are smooth and interesting. It offers interesting challenges and a nice visual aesthetic and a large pool of cool cards and synergies. Pros: Visuals are nicer than your average core roguelike deckbuilder, Mechanics are great, Unique while not being so weird that it's completely lost the spirit of the core Roguelike Deckbuilder genre Cons: I think the sound design is the lowest point of this game, it's not terrible but it isn't up to the standard the rest of the game sets, this has always been a problem among the "core" roguelike deckbuilders (StS-likes). For those interested my top 5 roguelike deckbuilders in order from best to least would be: Slay the Spire, Call of Zadeus, Balatro, Fights in Tight Spaces and Blood Card 1

good and original unique features : - no health , you live while you have cards in the draw pile - a powerful "Death" enemy comes in few turns to attack everyone. you can use it to your advantage or die to it if you are not careful. there are achievements and card unlocks for killing it - wearable items are cards too. you will be able to wear and remove the equipment during the game and there are cards tied on this mechanic graphics are exceptionally bad, which is probably why this game is not more popular than it should be.

I like it so much. For anyone who like Slay the Spire, I think this game has a very high potential to be on the same level. They have a unique feature and play style, some combos are very broken tho. I enjoy it :))
