    What a strange license that Voice of Cards… Releasing a second episode so quickly should have already given us a hint but we have to face the facts, Square Enix now has a UFO in its catalog, and that's great ! Allowing Yoko Taro to express his creative genius, and benefiting from the same talent for narration as the first opus, The Forsaken Maiden is a great success.

    It's a regular turn based jrpg that is elevated with a great artstyle and that Yoko Taro direction, it's a must play for any rpg or Yoko Taro fan

    A good follow up to a good formula. Focuses more on story by simplifying some parts of party management that people usually ignore anyway.

    The bittersweet themes of Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden, with brilliantly worked plot twists, a flawless battle system, and a captivating story all make it a near-perfect game. Perhaps the only downside is that it is not an overly long one, but the hope is there will be more instalments to what is proving to be a thrilling RPG series.

    Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a rather continuist game in regards to the original installment of the franchise. However, that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. At the end of the day, it is an independent role-playing adventure with very original ideas that make it worthwhile. Of course, it is not a marvel, but it is more than enough to have a good time.

    Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden does do enough to stand out on its own, mostly due to the narrative. If you weren’t impressed with the first faux tabletop experience, the minor combat changes won’t be enough to persuade you. Likely, due to the closeness to its antecedent, there aren’t enough improvements in this entry to really qualify it as being notably better than the first. Nonetheless, it is a complementary experience that fans of the first are likely to enjoy just as much.
