Shadowhand

Some time ago, I became utterly obsessed with Regency Solitaire.
This summer, I'm obsessed with Shadowhand.
This game kicks SO MUCH ASS. The gameplay is just as addictive and rewarding, and it really forces you to strategize in order to earn a 3 star rating!! The combo of solitaire and card battler gameplay rocks so hard. The art is also gorgeous, and the story is pretty fun and engaging as well.
TIP: If you find yourself hitting a wall, GO CHANGE YOUR GEAR/ITEMS. Strategizing & synergizing your items & powerups with your weapons will get you through literally any level with full stars.
The difficulty balancing in this game is seriously so good aagh I'm obsessed. So rewarding!! So consistently fun!!!!
Grey Alien Games!! You are so good at what you do!!! I hope to keep discovering and playing more of your games for years to come!!!!!!!!!!

Decent little puzzle game. Heavily reliant on RNG, so several "hands" (this game's name for each round you play) will need to be restarted at least once or twice if you want to get the best score possible or even just pass on (looking at you, Rich Turnpike). Story isn't anything crazy, but it's charming and the ability to switch out your gear and weapons feels very strategic and well thought-out.

Too casual to be awesome, but quite recommendable.
Very beautiful graphics.

I played Shadowhand Solitaire first, not realizing this was the original game! While the story is the same for both games, I actually preferred this as an RPG and the game mechanics of this game to Shadowhand Solitaire. And it took me playing this version for me to realize Lady Cornelia is Lady Fleetwood from Regency Solitaire. So I love that this is a fun backstory for her!

Great twist on one-up, one-down solitaire making it considerably more challenging than the typical games of this genre. Also a well-done storyline and details. The layouts seem more challenging than many card games, even though only about 25% are turn-based battles.

It's the duels with the opponents which made this game really interesting for me, as there's a lot of strategizing involved with picking out your weapons, clothing, gear, and card playing abilities to best arm yourself against each different character you meet. The last few chapters of the 22 chapters total are grindy if you want to 3 star everything.

If you like the concept of this game but battles aren't for you, there's a purely casual version of this game available.

Really good combination of RPG mechanics the and solitaire card game. Of course, being a card game it is extremely reliant on rng. If you're not fine with that, you definitely don't want to play this. But for the rest of the people it's an easy recommendation especially at -75% price.

Very solid solitaire combat mash up. Much better than the later released Ancient Enemy for some strange reason. Worth tinkering around with on sale.
