    Lost Kingdoms may not have much of a plot, but the battle system makes it a fine game worth the attention of all action/RPG fans.

    The urge to complete the card collection, to beat up on lowly demons with monstrously powerful cards, or to indulge in the two-player affair is enough to keep most people coming back for more.

    One of the most interesting and odd games that I have played in recent years.

    As an RPG, Lost Kingdoms lacks a lot of the depth, scope, and production values that makes the genre so compelling.

    A good game with a rough exterior.

    There’s some incentive to replay the missions (to attain better scores and complete your card collection) but when similarly priced RPGs offer 50+ hours easily, Lost Kingdom’s value for money has to be questioned.

    Barely saved only by its sense of strategy, Lost Kingdoms is a lost cause if you’re not into card games.

Once I figured it out, it was easy to beat the game and it did not appeal to me for replay at all. I liked collecting the different cards but many seemed completely worthless in combat to me. I found the save system clunky & awkward too.… Expand

The main draw is that you use a variety of different cards, be it summons, transformation or weapon-based cards to progress through levels. The combat is fairly fun, and stocking up on weapon cards early can be a life saver. The challenge comes from managing your cards, as if you use one in a mission, it is gone until the next mission starts. Making sure you still have adequate damage output and a decent card count by the end of a level is key. The enemies themselves aren't too difficult, but you can be left with no cards due to improper card management and be SOL and have to restart a mission. It's a unique take on combat and can be fun to play around with and create decks.… Expand
