Lightning: D-Day Reviews

[strike]Meh-[/strike] Nah [b][i]If[/i][/b] you know the card game this is based on, it might be a game to play. If you don't know the card game its based on... neither the computer or the abreviated "this is what is going on" in the first battle really helps to gain that understanding. With a person to play the game against, you can ask for help to understand it. For a person to person game, playing against an inexperienced opponent isn't that enjoyable - its important to get a person who plays at the same level as you do so that you can be challenged. When playing against the computer... the computer really doesn't care, it will crush you. It won't offer help. You play again, you click things that you can click for some reason (and miss things that you really should have clicked), and the computer beats you again. There's no challenge as an inexperienced player playing against the computer and a very unrewarding process of trial and error to better understand the game.

It's a fun little game. After initial bad experiences with Nuts!: The Battle of the Bulge (so buggy that it's unplayable) and Battle of Tallarn (plain bad) this one is a pleasant suprise. Pros: - should appeal to people that like boardgames, card games and 2WW (preferably all of the mentioned) - I haven't encountered any bugs - it's fun - you can play it during a long coffe break - it's pretty and supports resolutions above 1080p - interface is allright Cons: - price is a little steep for such a small game - if you're not going to play multi, there is about 3 hours of single player content to max it out - it's a bit too luck dependant cause drawing bad cards on initial hand can cost you a game - cards could use a bigger variety
