Review: Cardpocalypse (PlayStation 4)

Cardpocalypse is a single-player card game where you change the cards and the rules as you play, delivered within a charming school-based narrative.

Pros:

• Cartoon style graphics.
• 1.4gb download size.
• Card battler gameplay.
• Opening and ongoing tutorials.
• 90s cartoon style music and presentation.
• Platinum trophy.
• Gameplay-card battler where you have the main hero card, you use dog food to play cards like defenders or attackers and the winner gets the other to zero health.
• The story about starting in a new school in a new town as a craze is happening.
• Deck builder.
• Multiple choice interactions.
• A fun selection of characters.
• In between battles you can freely go around the world and interact with things and people.
• Earn new cards fr quests.
• It doesn’t really matter if you win or lose.
• Humor throughout.
• The game is quick to learn.

Cons:

• Slow burner.
• Deckbuilding feels basic and has no real guidance.
• No online mode.
• Weird things like talking to someone, you have to face them so if you trigger it from behind you must wait as you go around to the front.
• Weird pacing issues.
• Card battling is fine but feels unbalanced.
