Rush for the Ages Reviews

The game is simple and fun. I recommend it but it could be a bit more accessible. The font in all caps is a bit hard to read for me. I stumbled upon a few graphic glitches/bugs when playing Gauntlet mode and for Quick Game I wish there was a "quick" way to Play Again right after finishing a game, instead of being thrown back at the main menu. However, some of the suggestions by Viewless are very much needed and are still not in the game. Abandoning a game without having to kill the program, for example. It doesn't have to save the progress, just being able to go back to the main menu would be good. Also being able to trigger the Prestige Token tool-tips when being prompted by a decision. It gives crucial information that you'll need if you don't have the tokens memorized. Finally, I noticed the AI for the civilizations tends to finish the game even if it's not convenient for itself. Like, it plays the final card not caring if it's going to lose, sometimes giving me the win and sometimes giving the win to the other AI, so it feels like their heuristics don't care that much about their own individual victory, but for any of the two AIs to win which then feels either unfair or arbitrary. On the brighter side, it is fun. I don't care that much about the RNG, not every game has to be overly competitive and strategic. You play the hand you're dealt. Also it's very pretty, I like the simple aesthetic, the style of the pixel art, how quick the games are, and that you can play it with just the mouse. It has a somewhat addictive game loop, and it deserves some more awareness, especially to motivate the dev to update it.

Fun little card game that you can play for five minutes or five hours. Great for when your wife just left you and you don't know what to do with yourself, or for when you get ready for work ten minutes before you have to leave.
