Card City Nights 2

A fun short card game. Not top tier like Slay the Spire or Monster Train but it's relaxing to play and fairly easy to beat.

fun cute game in the Ludosity multiverse setting playing the card game on a combined board rather than [you have your board and your opponent has their board] is an interesting change from CCN 1, I think it adds more depth

It's a fun game with a unique gimmick. Campaign lasts a good few hours, and online mode extends well beyond that.

Works on Linux, but the achievements don't. Might be better to install with forced compatibility tool so it runs "as if" Windows with Proton? Might not, didn't try it. The game is *okay*, and it feels like a real shame because the cards-with-directions mechanic seems like it has a lot of potential, but the actual game ends up as just shovel out cards that maximize damage as fast as possible. You don't get enough cards to do anything with more interesting combos, and even if you did, setting them up still would be unlikely to do enough damage to beat the "maximize immediate damage" method. If there was more things that interfered, like *deactivating* cards or more ways to intentionally block sets of cards against activation, or something, then maybe another style would work better. Starting with more health might do it as well, since "winning before opponent can get a complicated setup in motion" would be harder.

Card City Nights 2 is a deck building card battler with the twist of funny story, smooth gameplay and fun character. I very much enjoyed the first instalment but knowingly felt more connection and passion was put in to the first title. The sequel, while a great blast and a new twist to Card City Nights, felt slightly clunky in terms of loading times and slightly laggy gameplay, even on modern graphics. It may be an optimisation thing but it is a rare occasion and didn't break the game in any way. My only real request is to make the game Steam Deck compatible. It's perfect for that market and while using the trackpad works fine, if a control layout could be made for the game, please add it. Card City Nights 2 - 6.5/10 - Rom
