    Despite a limiting always-online requirement and a current lack of support for docked/tabletop play, Lightseekers rescues itself from by disaster thanks largely to the robust nature of its card system, the support for scanning in physical cards and the sheer depth of tactics available to different skill levels. Thankfully, it's also free-to-play and the the ability to earn digital cards at a steady pace via in-game challenges will keep players coming back for more each day. It’s great to finally have a proper CCG on Switch – even if it's not properly optimised for Nintendo’s hybrid console quite yet.

    The designers don't seem to have understood how strategy works with card games, and, unfortunately, that's really what differentiates a good TCG from a very poor one.

It's a good TCG for anybody wanting to try out a new TCG, whether they be a newbie or a veteran, and there's lots of modes, both PvE and PvP, to check out and play with. I really like how well-developed the PvE side is, with modes to keep anyone busy for weeks.
    It kinda sucks that the PvE portion of the game isn't offline - but then again, I have yet to find a TCG where the game can be offline for any part of it, maybe one day- but I can say that the game works well. I haven't experienced any lag and matchmaking is quick, taking about 10-30 seconds. What is a plus in my book is how communicative the devs are, willing to engage with the players about feedback and bugs. An they're quick to fix issues or be at least transparent on what is happening. This game can get more grinding as reaching higher levels requires more matches or higher, stronger matches to beat, but the rewards are generous and quite useful. Won't lie, but sometimes the game can be a bit pushy in showing a bundle deal in the store, but it isnt too intrusive, just a bit annoying when it does pop up every once in a while. Theres over 1,000 cards to collect, plenty of avatars, playmats, and card backs to collect, and the shift to make Lightseekers more digital definitely made the game more balanced and more engaging. It works well with the Nintendo Switch system, being able to switch between touchscreen and controls with a breeze. Its optimized quite well nowadays.    … Full Review »

A perfect game for short bursts of play and even long play sessions. It's a bit of a bummer that the PvE mode of the game isn't offline, but if you're in a place of wi-fi, this game is a total blast! There's also a robust PvP, with modes like Casual, Draft, Ranked, and Casual Advance to keep the game engaging with others (I definitely recommend Draft and Casual Advanced modes the most). PvE is fleshed out as well, with 3 major mades and limited and even difficult (worth it, though) challenges throughout the week for extra rewards. Now for the F2P aspect of the game, I will say it is generous with its rewards. It's pretty darn easy to get to get gold and shards (for crafting) and obtaining packs and cards with them, and gems are used to buy packs and bundles if you rather not spend your gold on that and save it for Draft mode. Definitely a game worth checking out.… Full Review »

It's fun to be able to switch between touchscreen and controller instantly and works fine while docked or handheld. The game performs well and there's plenty of diversity to make so many types of decks, especially with the newest update adding another family into the mix. I really enjoy this game. Will recommend.… Full Review »
