TOTALLY UNDERAPPRECIATED

 

[Danj]

Are there any more recent examples of this genre, other than the Metal Gear Acid games?

Battles of Prince of Persia (DS). It's like card-effect overload - a little bit cumbersome, but the DS's inherent advantages in this kind of game help it out a lot.

You ALL FAIL

 

[lyre]

Do people just refuse to acknowledge that these games exist!?

 

[keanerie]

Card Fighter's Clash. DUH. Do everything in your power to play this game.

 

[Swaain]

I'd say go for Culdcept first, and then Phantasy Star Online III.

I've played most of the other games that were mentioned, but I really didn't enjoy them. Culdcept, on the other hand, is absolutely excellent, as is PSO3 - provided you can get "into" which, because it can be VEEEEEEERYYYYYYYYY slow.

[GDJustin]

I also firmly endorse Culdcept.

 

[ToastyFrog]

Don't forget Arcana, dudes. The original card-based RPG!

 

[Speevy]

Baten Kaitos and Culdcept. I love card games, so I own both.

 

[echoshifting]

The only game I can think of missing from this thread is Etherlords II. Awesome PC card battler.

Imo Baten Kaitos kinda sucked

 

[Speevy]

I don't suppose anyone noticed that this thread is more than a year old.

 

[Link1110]

I kinda liked Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, though I'm probably the only one.

 

[Chairman Yang]

Magic: The Gathering is the best, by a gigantic margin.

There are a bunch of free computer versions that let you play online, along with an old Microprose version for the PC.

 

[Speevy]

with an old Microprose version for the PC.

I thought that was "Master of Magic". I had that game.

[Speevy]

Baten Kaitos is just different enough to be compelling, even if it doesn't rank with other great RPGs. Plus the art and music are incredible.

 

[Yazan]

Baten Kaitos


Btw, how is Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories?

 

[Danj]

I don't suppose anyone noticed that this thread is more than a year old.

Argh, no, I didn't, I thought it said 05-06-2006 and figured it was last month or something! Sorry! But in any case, if it's been a year, I'm still interested to hear if there've been any more developments in the genre since the thread was started.

Minus the character profile art whenever someone was talking. Those were ****ing disgusting.

Superior to the PS2 games, IMO.

I see there seems to be a DS version of this but it doesn't appear to have a firm release date yet, just a vague "Q4 2006".

Pokemon Trading Card Game

I wonder how badly that did that we never saw a GBA version. I mean, I got my copy for $5 at a Blockbuster clearance, and I was amazed to find myself loving the game. It's scary.

 

[wipeout364]

PSO three was ok but it was so slow, every card play had animation that moved like molasses, it ruined it for me. Plus sega trying to charge for online play was completely lame.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

They keep showing screens. Also, there's a Marvel based card game coming for DS/PSP.

Culdcept is better than the others mentioned by a large margin. Except maybe Etherlords II, which is good.

Never played Magic online.

And the new art is Bleh!

BUY CULDCEPT!

They keep showing screens. Also, there's a Marvel based card game coming for DS/PSP.

And PC too. PSP and PC have cross-platform play too. It's based on the Vs. card game so it should be fairly cool.

 

[Chairman Yang]

I thought that was "Master of Magic". I had that game.

Master of Magic had a lot of similarities, but there was actually a Magic: The Gathering game released later by Microprose...it even had a single-player campaign where you could wander around the world, trading cards and getting quests.

I'm not into making new threads so I'm continuing this discussion here.

New Card Fighter's Clash DS screens from Famitsu

Man, what's up with the new "serious" art?
The cute Capcom characters are what made this game so charming on the NG Pocket.
