Disappointed – Five Card Quest - Tactical RPG Battles Review

Rocketcat has made some of my favorite games. Sadly I feel FCQ lacks the polish and smart gameplay of their other efforts. It is very buggy (game just froze and lost progress after an hour of play) and things that should be clear to a player are not: when enemy attacks, exactly what a card does, etc. I like the art but the way enemies and your characters are stacked up in a line makes it hard to discern each figure and, worse, which character is highlighted. The map is ugly and adds nothing, and text size varies to fill the text box which is also ugly and just badly designed. Animations are not smooth and timing is off. Overall this game lacks the polish I expect from Rocketcat. The current gameplay is kinda fun but it feels random and a lot of the mechanics feel mysterious too. Plus the play sessions feel too long for a game that makes you start from scratch when you die. Makes replaying a drag. All that said I look forward to more games from this developer.
