March 2017
I really liked this game. It had a nice rpg feel about it, as well as having a very well thought out card game system that kept the game entertaining and challenging. My only real negative about the game is that the game didn't really feel like it had a proper ending. You get a cutscene which shows you going to the place you have been hearing about during the quests, but then the credits roll. I could understand if there was a dlc or another game to follow on from this one, but sadly there isn't. It feels unfinished as a result. Still, don't that put you off buying it, especially if it is on sale, as it is a good game and kept me entertained for over 12 hours.

The core combat of making poker hands to fight enemies is pretty fun. The game is very shallow and has a very lackluster story with choices that impact absolutely nothing. Get it on a sale or from a bundle.

Think Puzzle Quest, but instead of match 3 you play poker solitaire to fight your enemies. It's fun if you're into this kind of thing. The story is cliched but well-written: I appreciate characters with a sense of cynicism. The art and sound are nice. Tutorials can be skipped when you replay the game. Downsides: Mystic Box appears to fallen off the face of the earth. Technical settings do not save when you quit the game; I constantly have to hit Alt+Enter to resize my window and re-pick "click and click" (dragging is a pain) when the game starts up Overall, I enjoy this game. I use this game to kill time or relax: it's not as mindless as a match 3 and it's a fun twist on the premise. I don't expect it to do much more than that.

The core concept of this game is essentially solitare poker againt the AI. Matching varying combinations of cards will inflict damage against the AI (and AI to you). The damage will increase the better the combiation, from two of a kind to a royal flush. The game mixes things up by adding in spell cards which can be used to inflict status effects, heal, do elemental damage, etc. The additions of the spell cards keeps the battle fresh as certain enemies require specific cards to counter their abilities. Overall, this game is average to above-average. I recommend a purchase of this game during a sale.

Why don't they make more games like this?! Simple card playing mechanic that's fun and addicting. Then you have a vaguely interesting storyline that your character has to make his way through. If you like Puzzle Quest (1st one), you'll love this game! Seriously, they need more games like this!
