CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 24, 2009
Fans of strategy, role-playing card games may find this game an interesting variation, but the entire experience seems a little bland compared to actually holding cards in your hand and drawing from a deck.
Heartless Victory launches a window with a number of panes for selecting cards to build a personalized deck. The design is rather bland but functional and easy to understand. One pane provides all the info about each selection, and we were able to build multiple decks and save it with its own name. A second window lets players actually use their decks to attempt beating their opponents by playing either online or offline. This free game performed fine during our tests, but it just wasn't as engaging as a face-to-face game with actual cards. The tutorial in the Help feature was very informative with the game's rules, and play was easy to advance thanks to the thoughtful design of the interface. We liked the Chat feature for complementing online play, and the timer kept the action moving.
Only true game fans will find the pizazz in this quasi card game. The price is right for giving a few hands a try, but players who need to see the glint of fear in their opponent's eyes will probably give this app a pass.
Publisher's description
From Jonathan Plaza :Turn based, 1v1, strategy game like Duel Monsters (Yugioh) & Magic The Gathering. Of course, it is no where near as complex as those games nor does it have fancy graphics. You can play it offline or online. It has cards like regular (attack) & special (magic). Learning to play it is pretty straightforward. The instructions are short. If running the game in Vista you will need to right click the game and select "run as administrator".
Version 16 fixes errors from previous versions and the interface looks less cluttered.
What's new in this version:
Version 16 problems with the previous version have been fixed and new interface looks better and is less cluttered.
