Review by Matt S. Given that THE Card Battle: Eternal Destiny was released five years ago on PC (where it’s just called “Eternal Destiny”), I am a little disappointed that the developer didn’t clean up the localisation for release on the Nintendo Switch. It’s horrible, and sours the experience from…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. THE Card Battle: Eternal Destiny is a new release on Nintendo Switch. One thing is immediately obvious about this game – it is very, very fanservicey. This is a game that wears its heart on its sleeve, and if the idea of collecting 600+ cards featuring…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Shadowverse: Champions Battle is a game that I have been waiting a very long time for. To be precise, 21 years. It was 21 years ago that the Pokémon Trading Card Game was released on the Game Boy Color, and as far as I’m concerned Champions…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Golem Gates is what happens when a developer takes every popular fantasy game design, and tries to mash them all together. It’s a RTS with levels laid out like in a MOBA, in which you summon cards and spells as you would in a CCG. Throw…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Hex: Card Clash has landed on PlayStation 4 in Europe/ Australia, and it’s a collectible card game that doesn’t even hide the fact that it’s a clone of Magic: The Gathering. Not that I’m complaining, since I’ve been playing Magic: The Gathering for decades now. And…
