    It's an average card-game style rpg, but the voice acting is good. There are some bugs and translation issues here and there, but nothing major. The pace of the game is a little bit slow if you decide to follow the story/lore.

    it's got a cool deckbuilding system and awesome aesthetics, but the interface is often unwieldy and a lot of the dialogue takes far too long to say very little. everything outside of the combat needs to be streamlined in some way, because it's kind of a chore to do anything else. it's very easy to misclick and spend points or money without being able to undo. there are also some prettyit's got a cool deckbuilding system and awesome aesthetics, but the interface is often unwieldy and a lot of the dialogue takes far too long to say very little. everything outside of the combat needs to be streamlined in some way, because it's kind of a chore to do anything else. it's very easy to misclick and spend points or money without being able to undo. there are also some pretty serious issues with the click based movement in 3d environments.… Expand

    A great way to dive into the folklore of the Russian North. The setting is remarkably fresh, the story is well-written, and while the card battles are rather mediocre, the game doesn’t penalize the player for skipping them. [Issue#255, p.50]

    Black Book holds a lot of promise… not as a game, but rather an interactive guide to local myths and legends. In all other aspects it’s an exercise in mediocrity.

    This game is low budget, sure, but that doesn’t hold it back in the slightest. It’s a very good card game, especially attractive for Eastern European players due to the captivating way in which it deals with Slavic mythology.
