    I thought the core gameplay was a lot of fun, but I had a few minor complaints.
    They let you see the cards your opponents draw, then at any time you get to see a list of cards in your opponents' hands, however you can't access the details of any of these cards. You're expected to just memorize every card or constantly look them up outside the game.

    They let you see the cards your opponents draw, then at any time you get to see a list of cards in your opponents' hands, however you can't access the details of any of these cards. You're expected to just memorize every card or constantly look them up outside the game.
    Similar to the first point, they don't always give you all the information affecting combat when you're in the combat screen picking an item.
    The AI turns can go pretty slow, and there's no way to skip them, so you end up spending a lot of time just watching the game play itself.
    I think the game suffered from these flaws, but overall I still had a lot of fun.

    The story wasn't great, but for the most part it did its job of giving you some sort of loose explanation for why you're playing this card/board game with all the wacky characters. They didn't always do a great job of explaining why sometimes you'll go into a match where your teammates actively work against your shared interests. I suppose relative to other card games with stories, it's just fine. Also speaking of wacky characters, what was Clint Eastwood doing in the game?    … Expand

    I definitely think Culdcept Revolt is a neat game, and worth checking out on 3DS. There definitely aren’t a lot of games out there that emulate the experience of a deck-building CCG, and certainly none that employ the other board game elements that the Culdcept series does. If you’ve ever been curious about the series, I would certainly suggest starting here.

    Seasoned card battlers and intrigued newcomers alike should be interested in Culdcept Revolt. Its complexity and customisability makes it one of the most replayable games in the 3DS' library, even just in single-player, while its accessible online play and well-crafted tutorial make it a perfect jumping-on point. More than just a card gaming simulator, there's plenty of care and attention poured into this; its wealth of cards and malleable multiplayer make it a genuinely viable alternative to traditional tabletop games.

    Culdcept Revolt is the last chapter of a twenty years old franchise. The gameplay is surely bound to the standard of the series, though there are some brand new elements and support for local and online multiplayer. It’s surely a niche game, and even if it could feel great at times, luck factor has too much impact on game mechanics, resulting in a good amount of frustration.
