Culdcept Revolt (Nintendo 3DS)

Product Information

It's kind of a shame that the Switch's recent bucketload of fantastic games has squashed its chances of getting a 'novelty purchase' for anyone not a committed Culdcept or card game fan. Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Shin Megami Tensei games have all ruined runs because of a 10% chance going against me. It successfully takes a couple of different approaches to traditional board and card games, and fuses them into something that you can spend a lot of time learning to master, and feeling really good about yourself as you do. Inevitably, every single little disagreement or challenge throughout the story will result in a card-based confrontation - even among allies - but the gameplay is interesting enough to warrant the repetition. It demands patience, and a lot of luck, but if you like the sound of a monster-fighting twist on Monopoly then you should take the hand you're dealt and check this one out.

As the Culdcept series celebrates its 20th anniversary, the addictive card game-meets-board game arrives in Europe for the first time, with hundreds of new cards, inventive boards and exciting multiplayer! and © for all products, characters, and indicia related thereto which are contained herein are owned by the companies who market or license those products. Some have criticized the overly thorough tutorial when starting but I would argue that with a game this deep, and with the substantial learning curve, the tutorial was actually incredibly helpful as I had never played a Culdcept game before. Allen, the game's protagonist, is found unconscious and with amnesia on the streets of Celphas, a medieval-styled city, by Alicia, the leader of the Free Bats, a resistance group that opposes the city's ruler, Count Kraniss. The game was released in July 2016 in Japan by Nintendo and in October 2017 internationally by NIS America.Hopefully I’m wrong and Revolt rolls a 12 so that we keep getting more games with faster localizations. Passing through every one of these gates is considered a 'lap' of the board, and grants you a magic bonus for your trouble.

The storyline is easily skippable if you want to just get to the game, which was certainly true for me after a loss. The holy city of Dafnelion is still standing, however, and connects to Celphas, allowing them to travel there. Each creature has an element type that corresponds to one of the elements on the board (water, fire, earth, air). The online mode itself will actually reward players with a daily bonus just by logging in, ranging from in-game currency to a random card.Summary As the series celebrates its 20th Anniversary, the addictive card game-meets-board game is back, bigger and better than ever with hundreds of new cards, inventive boards, and exciting multiplayer. Culdcept Revolt was announced in a Japan-only Nintendo Direct on May 11, 2016, followed by another session showing gameplay on June 22. Magic essentially acts as your currency in game, and is spent on summoning monsters as well as paying any tolls for landing on owned spaces. Subsequent titles have shuffled the formula since, but that core blend of number-crunching, dice-rolling and card collecting remained, carving a niche in the market that drew in a dedicated fanbase. On a dice roll, the player moves to a square and if they have a monster, they can play it on that space.
