The value story

57 discounts in the 6 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 15 percent on value. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Card City Nights ($9.99, scores 73) outscores it, and so does Kabuto Park ($4.99, scores 93). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

No other game like this one. So freaking nostalgic to being a kid, wanting to have the strongest card out of all your friends. I never leave reviews, but this game deserves more credit

Meh. Campaign was short but fun. After that, there's no fun end game. Unless you want to reply the campaign over and over again for 'different decisions.' There's no newgame+ (whatever happened to that in games like this? That would have had me go through the campaign a few more times.) There's a roguelike where you play to repeatedly lose to eek toward a level up to get the small drips of decent cards. Nothing...
