    basic & classic JRBG game on cards still, nice and relaxing music by Keiichi Okabe, and a multiplayer mini game ab to 4 players locally, I really enjoy the game but I advise to buy it on sale.

    I highly recommend buying this game and it's DLCs to every fan of the NieR Franchise, because with everything installed and activated it completely transforms into a NieR Spin-off game!

    To the game itself: It is a rather slow, old-school turn based rpg where the cards are equally an artstyle and an influence to the games mechanics. Like every Yoko Taro game it has very interesting and    I highly recommend buying this game and it's DLCs to every fan of the NieR Franchise, because with everything installed and activated it completely transforms into a NieR Spin-off game!

Like every Yoko Taro game it has very interesting and weird characters, hilarious writing, and some VERY dark twists and tones that may shock you from time to time.

    Not for everyone but very unique and creative and entertaining if you like it. I also recommend playing the Demo first because it is some sort of prologue to the actual game. 9/10    … Expand

    First of all; this is not a Cardgame! Its a Mix between a D&D Tabletop and a classic JRPG with a Cardartstyle something like Paper Mario.

I recommend to play the Demo because it is a Sidestory of the game which is not in the game itself. As a Nier Fan download the Nier DLC you will like it. The Game is a bit easy that's all that could be better. Hopping for a Sequel or a DLC. Story was great the Music was even better. There is also a little Cardgame in the Game, would be nice if it's getting an Onlineplay Option to playing with friends.… Expand

    Es increíble como la voz del narrador te sumerge en la Historia, el gameplay por turnos, las sorpresas de la aventura, la música, todo un 10. Muy contento con la compra. Si te gustan los juegos de rol por turnos, o si eres de aquellos que te reunías con los colegas a jugar a juegos de mesa e inventaros increíbles historias este juego es para ti.

    Imagine you could play Dungeons and Dragons with Yoko Taro as Gamemaster, this is Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars.

    It is a really nice little JRPG made out of cards. Story is a typical Yoko Taro story, gameplay is good and if you buy the Nier music DLC the music is perfect. Can't say anything bad about the game except that is a bit too easy.

    I love it

    > Great story with a strong flavour of Yoko Taro’s signature twists, probably my favourite part of the title. After the first hour of gameplay I assumed Voice of Cards had the most generic plot and side stories imaginable but I was wrong. I’m not going to spoil anything, but there’s more than meets the eye and I had a blast following the storyline in this game.

    > Very anime-esque character personalities, aka fun and likeable but rather one-dimensional. I don’t see it as a flaw, however, as they worked well in the context of the game.
    > Gorgeous and unique art style. I spent a ridiculous amount of time just admiring the character designs and card ornaments.
    > Good sound design and beautiful music.
    > Fun and simple gameplay. Don’t expect Voice of Cards to really challenge you or push strategical thinking. This game is a fresh and entertaining experience you can kind of breeze through without much planning or thought. For me, it wasn’t a bad thing whatsoever, but it might bug some.
    > Pretty short. Too short, in my opinion. That’s the only reason I’m not giving the game a 10/10.

    Overall, a great game to relax to after a long day of work/studying. Definitely recommend it if you’re not going into it expecting challenge.    … 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.
