VEmpire - The Kings of Darkness Reviews

the idea it was ok but the problem you can't buy or unlock new cards and the game there is no sountrack to feel more better about online i search half hour there is no one i think i'm not sure about online and the game all by luck in lot of rounds i spend my cards and there is no card can attack each round you will change your cards even you didn't play your cards it will go down.

I love the theme and becouse you got all the cards from the start defenetly wroth that 10£. Just the feeling to smash your opponent face with an hasburg Vampire prince is pricless. I hope later on they ad more cards .

Eh. Not really my cup of deckbuilder. There's only really 4-5 different types of cards and none of them do anything especially worth notice. " -Goes in your hand when you buy it -Draw cards -Negate damage -Deal damage -Hold a card And that's about it. Not to mention that 2 slots of the buy row are blocked out from you, so you have a pretty sparse option as to what's open in the middle row. I feel this game would flow and play much better if the core Deck was varied and colorful, lke Ascension and/or Star Realms, rather than being limited to which 2 characters you happened to pick. This limits the game and makes it feel more like Dominion, which I am starkly not a fan of. Having a solid core deck with a open buy row with each "Head Vampire" having some sort of special gimmick to them (a la the Heroes in DC Deckbuilding) would open up a lot more options. As it stands now, you're basically in a race to buy up your own faction's cards and largely ignore the middle zone unless a +Draw comes up, or you simply don't have enough cash to buy anything else. As it stands, there's way too many cards that do the exact same thing with the exact same buy cost, just the art and card name is different.

Oh how I dislike to review EA titles, but alas, those little kids who love to play critic, while not even having spent an hour to play this game, kinda force me to. I´ve played tons of different TCG´s and CCG´s over the last 25 years (Dune, MTG, Star Wars, Battletech, Shadowrun, Illuminati, Jyhad, Mythos, Aliens/Predator, Kult and maybe 1-2 I´ve forgotten). VEmpire doesn´t fall short of those at all. It´s a solid game, although still in EA, that will receive some further polishing and improvements, but is absolutely enjoyable and fun as it is now. The tutorial doesn´t give you the whole picture, unfortunately, that´s the only thing I could critizise. But after the 3rd or 4th match against the surprisingly good AI, you get the idea. That´s when the fun really begins. There are 4 different epochs/leaders and they distinguish themselves by pace and focus. Besides that diversity, games never get boring in terms of "sure bets", almost every match is quite tense and challenging.

It's early but the game has enormous potential. It's got the kind of graphics I like and I'm not much on that type of thing. It's fun but can be hard for a new player unfamiliar with Trading card games to get the gyst. I am sure someone will create a guide that will help further though, so no worries. There already is a guide to the "Mercenaries" and I recommend strongly that you read it. I can guess that the game will have a lot added to it in the future, hopefully not too expensive or even free. You feel like you're playing through a dark and dirty Royal History, not ones usually in the History books. Where dark secrets remain lurking for those who dare to explore. Where blood has replaced the usual coin. When corruption leads to decay which leads to ruination....bwahahahahaha. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?..... The Shadow Knows.

10 out of 10! BUY THIS GAME NOW! The tactics of VEmpire are fantastic! You will not find a game like this any where else. The love and dedication that went into this creation are evident from start to finish. The atmosphere is wonderfully suspenseful, the music is top notch and fits perfectly, the art is above and beyond. As for game play, you have to experience it to really understand just how creative a card game can be! One purchase gets you the whole game. If you have reservations just because it's not free to play, you are missing out. As for the Dev, he's so much into his creation that you feel as if he's that "favorite player" you run into in CCG's. The one you always enjoy meeting in the lobby and playing a round or two with! Wolf, you have a smash hit here! A great big Cheers! to you!

This is a great deckbuilder with a lot of nice strategies and tactics. The theme is great and original, the graphics are excellent without breaking your processor (runs on my crappy lappy beautifully), and I've never seen a dev so excited about his game. If you like Ascension, Star Realms, or other deckbuilders, give this one a shot. It's worth the money and your time.

This is a great game. I was looking for an alternative to Star Realms, which I also really liked. But I was looking for something with more of a horror theme than a sci fi theme & I stumbled across this game. At first, I thought it was a bit complicated, but the tutorial is good and it didn't take long to get the hang of...lots in common with Star Realms. Love the music which hasa rock theme and I also like the thunder and lightning effects. The artwork is awsome as well. I mostly play solo games and I find this one is great to pla solo. I may jump online one of these days. So far, enjoying this game very much and highly recommend it.

Card game? Check. Monarchy? Check. Sisi?! Check. Local "german" developers? Check. Recommendation? Check! I like it, its great for small sessions and provides a lot of tactical depth. At first i thought this was a CCG (like Hearthstone and Faeria), but its not, from what i see. You have all the cards available, but you start your game with only some of them which you then use to "buy" more. The bought cards get added to your deck and can be used to buy even more cards. If youve played War of Omens you know how this works. Things that were not perfect: The tutorial is really confusing, but after 1 game vs AI everything became clear. There is no story-mode (yet), but its EA and the devs are active. The game lacks a bit diversity, especially in the last turns where all cards are bought. Maybe force the game to end in the next few turns after all cards are bought? Or let the player reuse all discarded cards for infinite combos? Anyways, i think its worth 15€ and i recommend it.

I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys card games. Both the art and music are beautiful, and the basis of the game is very unique. The developer is very open, honest, and passionate about making the game all it can be. To him, it isn't just about creating a game, it is about a creating a friendly, helpful community around the game. A HUGE plus is once purchased, you own everything, there are no in-game microtransactions. Though some may not mind them, paying real money for virtual items just seems foolish to me, especially as they can add up fast. That is simply my own opinion, but I'm a casual gamer to begin with. When I see microtransactions, I think "another way to milk money out of customers". Wolfgang is VERY animate that such a model will never be a part of this game, and given his straightforward nature, I have no doubt that is the truth. Having purchased many Early Access games, I know what a gamble they can be. However, in this particular situation, I believe the odds are very much in favor of success. Even in its current state, the game feels well designed and stable. This game is a far cry from some very pre-alpha games on Steam that I can safely say, will almost certainly end up abandoned. Development is very active and I am very eager to see this game evolve into something the just blows me away even more! In addition to all the above, the price is extremely reasonable for what one is receiving. Though I am not even close to mastering the game mechanics yet, I'm very excited about this game, the developer's mindset, and the final product! Once again, I highly recommend purchasing this game in its current state, and being a part of helping Wolfgang reach his goal of creating something truly unique and enjoyable!
