This is a good single-player card game. You can get cards with all sorts of abilities; you also have life and health, and what’s interesting is that you can still play if you lose your health, but you’ll go insane: according to a random disease, your choices will be limited, and this only makes the game even more fascinating! You play against the computer, but even so it doesn’t seem to get boring.

I have never actually liked this type of game before, but after I’ve played it a little it seems that it’s quite challenging. And yes, even if there’s not much action, it can still be cool.

The AI is pretty good, and the game is getting harder after the 11th round (”Deep One Spawn” vs “Mi-Go Slave”). If you think you have some free time to spare, then you should try it.

Also, there are 21 challenges; some of them are good and keep you playing, and some others seem to be based on pure luck, although in most cases you can win if you’re good enough.

Not bad, but some more animations would have been even better. The cards really look amazing.

Pretty good, at least to my taste.
