Children of Zodiarcs
Children of Zodiarcs is a story-driven, tactical RPG set in the fantasy realm of Lumus; a world divided by affluence and poverty. Take control of Nahmi and her fellow outcasts, utilising a brand new deck and dice based combat system to strike a blow to the noble Lords’ and Ladies’ unquenchable thirst for profit. Professional thieves on the trail of an ancient relic, the group infiltrates the glittering halls of a corrupt noble’s private chambers in pursuit of their target, narrowly escaping the wrath of the city guards at every turn. Desperate to find an escape, they seek refuge in the city’s seamy slums and brave the sunless pits of the underworld. Out to get them are heavily armed city guards, rival gangs and psychotic families of subterranean cannibals. Abandoned by the system and used by selfish criminals, these young companions will be forced to come to terms with their own reality. But be warned – in the world of Children of Zodiarcs, no one escapes unscathed!

This game is the type of card/dice game I truly enjoy. The mechanics are straight forward, the cards are easy to understand, there is a nice sense of progression and it has a complete campaign. I'm a bit tired of the "rogue" aspects of most of the card based battlers you find a ton of lately. In this game, you can grind as little or as much as you want. There is an overall story line (which I wished was a little more fleshed out).
The game is very forgiving with multiple saves and even has a in-battle save (just one) that can really be exploited. Save before your turn, roll, don't like the dice outcome, load the save and reroll! Rince and repeat until you get the outcome that you desire. Amazing! This alone makes the game a bit too easy but hey, I'll take any advantage.
I don't really remember where I picked up this little gem but I'm glad that I was perusing through my mile long list of Steam games and decided to give it a go. About 23 hours of game time for me and I enjoyed all of it. I was never really frustrated or confused with the battles.
If you like turn based (non-rogue) card battle games, this is a must have. There are very few games like this and I treasure them!
