No I have too many games already this looks so gooooood
80 Days and the other Inkle stuff is respectable but not my jam, but I always hoped theyâd push in a direction like this.
Iâm so ready.
I quite like 80 Days and itâs due in no small part to how much they limit the interactivity to make it inobtrusive as a phone game (one of very few genres I feel that way about), so Iâm actually not crazy about this direction, but weâll see!
Fair enough; all my mobile game experience is grudgingly keeping up on an old tablet and I get itchy with the distance they all hold me at
The experimentation with lower rez CG aestheticsâŚthe gorgeous alternative fantasy worldsâŚpuzzles based on exploration language and contextâŚstarring a girl.
I think someone has been reading my dream journals.

See you in another two months I guess
edit:
theyâre going to dumb it down (edit: optimistically, maybe dumb it sideways or dumb it upwards). I donât think that would be necessary if they hadnât fucked up the marketing and messaging in nearly every other way it was possible to fuck up, mostly in ways nobody had ever dreamed of fucking up before.
the most alienating aspect of Artifactâs gameplay is the per-creature attack arrow RNG, which Iâve always defended as the game is about managing a chaotic battlefield from a higher level than going âPIKACHU I CHOOSE YOUâ and poking each and every mythical beast and pointing them at what you want them to fight, as in Hearthstone, or the opposite situation in Magic where monsters sit around doing nothing for many turns for fear of defenderâs advantage. (I guess I might as well talk about Artifactâs gameplay a bit since it will likely no longer exist, but Iâll wait another ice age to see what Valve comes up with to replace it.)
how many jokes have people already made about Artifact becoming an artifact
If you think about it, Artifact was like an arcade tcg, complete with coin munching. So if you want to get your TCG on you can always get a real Japanese arcade TCG except without the credit feeding, coming next week.
Edit: Sega please port Sengoku Taisen to PC.
Edit 2: I think thereâs a new Yu gi oh game coming out soon too.

looks crazy sick, will cop
that card-on-touchscreen interface is incredible
not to be like, that nerd, but theyâve had stuff like this since at least the last time i was in Japan like uhhhhh 8 years ago. Square had a game called Lord of Vermillion 2 that i bought a deck for and played a bunch. itâs a cool tech that i wish would come stateside, but it makes sense that it doesnât.
Ignorance is bliss for things I canât have.

Yeah, Google around for other arcade TCGs and youâll find all sorts of crazy stuff. Lord of Vermillion, Sengoku Taisen (itâs predecessor Sangokushi Taisen got a Nintendo DS port), Wheel of Eternity, Code of Joker, etc. There are even sports games like soccer and horse racing adapted to a touch screen x card interface. Itâs all very cool and looks very expensive.
