    I played the demo and was pretty hyped.

    The first chapters are also really great, the game has depth, doesn't throw the message in your face, just shows you different fates and I felt deeply touched, but that changed just after half Romance felt extremely forced (wtf pacing) and the fun and message lagged behind at a certain point after the last chapter i would like to say: why do    I played the demo and was pretty hyped.

    Romance felt extremely forced (wtf pacing) and the fun and message lagged behind at a certain point

    after the last chapter i would like to say: why do you have to hate men? why do you have to seem to include everyone?

    at the beginning i really thought this is about the deeper connection between women, that all decisions have meaning, that every fate counts, but in the end i was disappointed how much that was slapped in my face, a pity    … Expand

    It's exactly what you think it would be: a full-throated anti-woman alphabet nonsense screed posing as a witchy, feminist card creating game. It hates good pacing and decent writing almost as much as it hates men.

    The cosmic wheel - Sisterhood is a life altering experience.

    This may be the most uplifting story about women I have had the pleasure of experiencing so far.
    I won't spoil much, but there is a transgender character in this story.
    She was accepted, and she didn't have to justify it. No one questioned her, or called it a decision. And after experiencing this, I can say with confidence that I am going to follow my path. I know now, that I should not hold myself back. I should be who I want to be, and not let the discourse around it all make me think and reconsider and question and effectively ruin myself.

    In ten, or twenty years, when someone asks me what the most life-changing thing that happened to me was, I will be able to say with confidence that it was a Night in August of 2023, in a London Hotel while browsing the Nintento e-shop and finding a game about witches.

    I will be a woman, the way I want to be.

    I will be myself.

    And Fortuna and her sisters will be with me.    … Expand

    Good short narrative and decision-making game.
    The only downside is that being a game that focuses on creating cards, there is very little variety.
    And lgbt issues that cut the thread of the story.

    I am gonna start off by saying that the Pixel Art and Animations were really well done and that they deserve every praise that they get. The story starts off pretty strong and there were some really decent moments and even plot twists that do shake it up in the middle, I was not really a big fan of the ending and the way they sped up the final chapter (it felt very rushed and kinda madeI am gonna start off by saying that the Pixel Art and Animations were really well done and that they deserve every praise that they get. The story starts off pretty strong and there were some really decent moments and even plot twists that do shake it up in the middle, I was not really a big fan of the ending and the way they sped up the final chapter (it felt very rushed and kinda made the choices that you previously had worthless). I was not fan of the game play either because it was not that easy to understand or not that very well made in terms of card creation and then selecting the cards( not fully sure what the effects of the picked card will be). Overall the game was chill but it had some feminist vibes to it (which did not deflect the story or the message of the game that much) and I can recommend it for a short story with multiple choices. Music was nice!… Expand

    El juego tenía muy buena pinta y todos los trailers y noticias me hacían pensar que sería un muy buen juego. Sin embargo, tras los primeros capítulos, se hace tedioso, y sufre de grandes carencias narrativas.

Sin embargo, tras los primeros capítulos, se hace tedioso, y sufre de grandes carencias narrativas. Como han dicho en otra review, el romance es horrible por una mera cuestión de ritmo, la mecánica de crear cartas acaba haciéndose aburrida y los personajes resultan un poco genéricos y nunca se desarrollan del todo.

    En cuanto a la cuestón Lgtbi del juego... creo sinceramente que la solución propuesta no es el camino. Indicar que las mujeres solo pueden alcanzar su pleno potencial y ser libres de verdad si viven en un mundo donde (prácticamente) no existen los hombres y/o su influencia es irrelevante, resulta preocupante. Hay que intentar no caer en el sexismo cuando se lucha contra el sexismo.

In general, I give the highest score because in its genre it is non-standard and at the same time one of the best representatives of its genre. P.S.

    Developer Deconstructeam's latest game is a bold experience in which all of the systems manage to beautifully fall into place. It successfully weaves its magic to create something that is rather special and mesmerising, elevated by a unique twist to deck-building and packed with emotion. Fortuna's journey undoubtedly ranks as one of my highlights of the year, and shouldn't be overlooked.

    Whether you're truly getting to co-author Fortuna's story isn't always clear, but then divination is an ambiguous practice - and here, a terrifically enjoyable one. [Issue#389, p.121]

    Overall, I enjoyed my time with Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood, but I couldn’t stop thinking about what it could be. Some tweaks to the formula would lead to a much stronger game, though the game at its core is a fantastic and innovative idea, and gave plenty of new concepts to excite me.
