    This game is all kind of amazing, except one. It has lots of charm, stylish graphics, engaging rules, geeky semi-story, but all the time, it teases the player with more and more virtual things he could obtain if only he paid more and more money through micro-transactions.

    I gave it a try because it's free and has some positive reviews on here, I'm however not impressed.

    I do like that it tried to do something new with the turn-based strategy system that is kind of hard to innovate in, but ultimately I found the gameplay boring. I think if a big gaming company got it's hands on this indy piece they could turn it into something pretty damn good.

    As it is now though...worth trying out, not worth sticking with.    … Expand

    Very good turn based RPG (with cards). Nice graphics and pretty good gameplay (with enough strategy involved in boss fights). It's problem though, is playability through time. I got really over-excited in the beginning, but after 3-4 days I was bored and pretty much abandoned it. I must note that I didn't want to pay any real money so I only saw the "free" part of it.

    Those interested in CCGs, but slightly daunted by endless rule sets, will find Card Hunter the perfect place to be. [Jan 2014, p.83]

    A must play for SRPG fans and wistfully nostalgic D&D enthusiasts.

    Card Hunter is anything but inconsequential. It’s a top tier turn-based tactics game, a secret TCG, and the first RPG I’ve ever played to make a virtue of a generic fantasy setting. It’s the inspired XCOM variant that Space Hulk seems to have turned out not to be.
