Solid game with little reward

Ploop99

The game is easy to pick up and put down. Mostly played in between commutes. However, moving between different kingdoms creates power creeps from previously accessible cards. You'll never use magic attack or physical attack cards once you receive stronger ones. Your HP is the only stat you control, while attack is determined by specific card. Essentially, you level up by acquiring higher HP with the better cards in the new area. No elemental resistances for magical attacks, and physical attack cards reign supreme. Game can become a tad repetitive if you've figured out the optimal strategy. Final boss was surprisingly satisfying to destroy with triple power Ice Sword!!! Overall, would recommend if you want a short (took me about a week with 30-60 min sessions two to three times a day) and visually appealing game with little variation of strategy, but high on visuals and card collecting. The music is charming and fits with setting. The story is pretty light, as well as town exploration. Game follows pattern: Go to town, talk to shop owner for items in town, and guild owner for details on monsters in the area. Each area has 4 monsters. Rinse and repeat until you find Kingdom's Castle. Talk to King and receive cards, then fight whatever monster king wants you to slay (usually two strongest monster in their kingdom) and bring back item for him. You'll then be granted passage into the subsequent chronological kingdom. Continue process until reaching final 5th land. Favorite cards: Power Attack Replace Heavy Boomerang Fire Sword Spear
