We have seen many games deal with the theme of cards over time, with classic tabletop titles that have been digitized over time, with many more being invented in the meantime, and even with real adventure titles that allowed players to enjoy new rules and decks in their own universes. But what about real games based on classic cards? We haven’t actually seen many, other than the great classics, with variations that are certainly created day by day, but which in any case do not represent real classic single-player adventures. Here he wanted to hit the well-known publisher Devolver Digitaltogether with the developer Nerialwith a title as usual over the top that is now already available, and on which we were able to put our hands on during the Gamescom 2022 in order to deepen the experience.
Learning the magic …
Card Shark, unlike classic card-based adventure games, it is not based on new types of decks and atypical play stylesgiven that the classic decks from 52 with 4 seeds that good or bad all users know. A waiter, ended up in a bad turn with also a murder that makes everything more disastrous, finds himself embroiled in a company of card tricks, between a mature theme and another that is deepened by the plot, which is presented in very good form at Gamescom, at least for the few minutes we had the chance to try the game.
The goal of the users, in this story-driven adventure guided by insights and dialogues, is to learn a lot of magic tricks, with the aim of collaborating together with this company in order to earn money. We are not talking about sitting at the table and playing a simple game of poker for example, but about carry out real cheating with hand gamesusing your controller (preferable to mouse and keyboard) for an occult magic game or another, trying not to be discovered and making the most of the few seconds available for each trick to the fullest.
… Of the scam
Trying the title firsthand we found ourselves in front of an experience full of charisma, which in a few minutes has been able to conquer us thanks to its mechanics, and also to a basic difficulty that requires intellect and shrewdness on the part of the players, called to put their hand to their deck of cards to be able to get the better of every single battle at table. The contents offered have certainly been able to satisfy us, and with a very particular graphics, combined with weird dialogues and animations impossible to miss, we found ourselves in front of an experience full of charisma, which we can’t wait to be able to deepen further.
Card games will succeed, together with this crazy concept – and particularly original as far as the world of video games is concerned – at win over the players in a matter of time? What we found ourselves in front of during Gamescom 2022 is a work worthy of the support of Devolver Digital, always ready to invest projects as irreverent as they are of quality, which already at first impression was able to hit us and make us want to discover more and more. both for what concerns the magic tricks brought to the field, and for the plot that we have only been able to taste.
