    Many learned the name Yoko Taro from Nier Automata, and indeed Nier Dualogy is a great franchise. However, it puzzles me what made Taro decide that it's a good idea to make a traditional Japanese turn-based RPG in modern times, cuz it's not, and hiding it under the appearance of a card game changes nothing.

    The game was easy basically all the way till the final boss fight, at which point it becomes ridiculously hard and annoying. Apparently toward the end, he wanted us to explore the maze and get those top weapons and armors, but I'm not gonna do it when you run into a battle every 3 to 5 steps in that maze. Just not gonna happen, it's no longer 1980s. Such a bad difficulty curse is just bad game design, and despite the generally faverable or okayish review, the fact this game is so niche says everything.

    So, I got stuck at final boss, and I don't plan to do ANYTHING about it, because going back to get good weapons means I will face another 100 battles before I get back to the boss. On the other hand, going back to town to get more potion and other stuff, which you barely ever needed at all until final boss, means I need to come all the way back to the boss again. Not gonna do it. Good chance you won't buy much along your play cuz you never needed them, except now you really need it, a lot, but the cost to go back and get them is really not worth it.

    The game is just so mediocre in everyway, even the music is not good as Nier dualogy, despite same man made them, and the story isn't that good at all. Nothing motivates you to go through the pain in the ass to reveal the end. I still think Nier as one of my favorites of all time, but the name Yoko Taro is no longer the golden seal of quality. So disappointed    … Expand

    Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a game with a simple structure, but one that brings a solid experience that is very well built. The story starts simple and surprises players by it’s end and the characters become more interesting with time. The combat, mechanically simple, is elevated due to it’s animation and good balancing. This is not a RPG that will surprise for bringing new things to the genre, but by how well it does all things that we usually take for granted.

    Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a strange mix of table top and video games that manages to add something new to the very traditional JRPG genre. It’s a short, cozy experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome while also feeling fully fleshed out.

    Due to the difficulty, or mostly lack thereof, and simplified concepts I could recommend Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars as a beginner or more laid-back RPG. More experienced gamers might bemoan the straightforward gameplay or lack of difficulty, but those who are interested in the charm and humour only need bring their cards to the table. At the very least you should give the demo a try.
