Aces & Adventures

Aces and Adventures is a deep and complex deckbuilder that is sliced up into bite sized story chapters. I didn't find this format all that enjoyable, but the overall game is still amazing and the voice acting and delivery is top notch. The base game provides five different classes and eventually a generous amount of cards to select from. Later on, there will be more map based path adventuring which I find much more enjoyable. The initial game is very slow and it might turn some players away too soon. The game gets much better after several hours after you get some improved traits, abilities, and useful cards. Although the game uses poker hands, I find the game is more about strategizing how to best use your abilities to minimize damage to your character. At a certain point, most characters will just snowball through the chapters and RNG becomes a moot point. There are even additional 'at-a-boys' for speed runs. The game continues to offer more selection the longer you play. Yes, it is a bit grindy. But it is still a fun game and it takes many runs to understand many of the games nuances.

This game is very weirdly balanced, I really want to like it, like really really want to like it, but the ability deck building is up to pure RNG if you can get the cards to even make a deck that you want to play, summons have an arbitrary limit on one character, and always going for defense is objectively the best option at all times despite that they try to give you so many ways to attack better, except if you take the attack you're left to defend with unknown cards against enemies that will always draw a pair of jacks OR MORE whenever you want it least. The story and voice acting is primo top of the game, and I can see this idea being executed nicely, but the game itself just feels aggravating to play with weirdly insane difficulty curves that rng does not help with. You will almost always play a pair in most rounds, and fishing for a high card attack is asking to die, because once again, defense builds are always objectively more powerful cuz you're defending against known cards rather than relying on RNG not to screw you (which it will 6/10 times)

默认卡面是男性的，女性角色穿着是莫名其妙很低俗的，剧情是云里雾里的，流程是又臭又长的，还以为是老古董结果一看发布时间是2023年，到底是怎么腌入味的

很久以前玩的，玩的时候还是感觉挺好玩的，但是是比较偏简单的那种卡牌类型

I don't get it. The game just plays itself. Is this a clicker? What am I doing here? Do I have choices or is this just a glorified screensaver?

还没玩，但开头就遇到渲染黑屏了，摸索着找到解决办法了，点 设置 选项 视频 效果 多样本抗锯齿 这里，点关闭，就OK了，希望对遇到同样问题的朋友有用

挺不错的一款卡牌肉鸽，画面精美，玩法丰富且有深度，缺点是流程过于冗长，且由于手牌及规则限制不太好凑大牌，缺乏一些爽感。总的来说是一款好游戏，适合有耐心的小伙伴玩。

While an interesting concept, the game suffers from a critically unbalanced card pool. Some characters can walk through every enemy without letting them act (like the Mage), and others offer really absurd power gaps between a "good" turn and a turn where you are ending the run (like Enchantress). Attempting to backtrack and do older missions to grind up mana for levels only results in you running into Lv 1 enemies that somehow now have the Divine Light Of Victory leaking from their pores, and you will never see an opposing attack lower than a Pair ever again. If these foxes and bears were playing these hands in a casino, they'd have broken kneecaps in 20 minutes. I'm mixed on this game, because it's interesting enough that you can definitely find fun in it, but the game makes you fight tooth and nail against the House, and unfortunately the House always wins. I definitely do not recommend this at full price. Get it on one of those deep cut sales.
