"good game but..."

date: April 3, 2008

the random generation of the the cards, the inability to discard, very frustrating. Also it seems at even the low levels the AI has clear and overpaowering odds over you. I would suggest being able to make decks yourself, or choose a type of deck such as healing or attack or skill based. That way you know what kinds of cards you have coming that could save you. It took me 3 hours to get my yellow belt, even when I had my opponent down to 3 hitpoints and I had 30. I stopped getting cards I could use, and he then whomped on me. Good game, a few tweaks on the decks and I think you'll have it

"addictive, but..."

date: January 25, 2008

This game has a very good concept, but fails in a few crucial areas. My main gripe is that if you are going to have the cards being determined randomly, you MUST allow a person to discard. There have been countless times when I lost for no other reason than I was stuck with four cards in my hand that each would have kicked my ass if I would have played them. Card combos are also extremely difficult to pull off when you can't tell whether you should hang onto a decent card or play it before the opponent comes up with one that turns the game around. This brings me to my second point: There is no way that there should be an equal probability for high-powered and low-powered cards to appear. Most switching cards are either ruinous for a carefully built-up plan (if the computer plays them) or dead weight in your hand. They tend to favour the computer's inferior strategy. In addition, accumulating life, or especially hazumis, every turn gives one an incredible advantage, and the chance of drawing such cards should be rare. Finally, rather than simply increasing the life of computer opponents, it would make for a much more enjoyable game if the AI was strengthened instead. I realize that this would require considerably greater effort in programming, but it would be worth it.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't have taken the time to complain so much if I didn't feel strongly about this game. It IS highly addictive; I just wish it weren't so frustrating.

love the game, but i find the A.I. not as challenging but more predictable, and that to me takes the fun out of it. this whole random cards sucks, i think it would be better if you were able to make a custom deck. but over all the concept of the game is very good, it kinda reminded me of metal gear acid. I look foward to your second edition to this.
