Recenzje Abalon (formerly Summoners Fate)

I was kind of hesitant to give this game a try, as it is yet another card collector. I was convinced by how engaged the dev is with the community, even two years after the game had been released. I have always had huge respect for people for whom games are passion projects. In the end, I was not disappointed. Game definitely has its own identity. It doesn't use node based travelling system like Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon 2 and many others - there is a map which you don't have to explore fully to progress. Combat-wise it's a tactical game where positioning matters, you don't just stand around as in StS or some JRPG. You have your own team (guardians and loyal units), persistent throughout the run. You can even outfit them with weapons and armour that gives them extra durability and abilities. You can't do it unfortunately with animal companions, but dev claims it's going to be changed - as I said, he listens to the community suggestions. Your deck doesn't refresh after all your cards go into the discard pile. You have to visit a camp to refresh it. This often creates a dillema - make fight easier by playing more cards at the risk of not having them enough in the next encounter. Camping supplies are limited, you can't just go back to the campfire after every fight. Overall, I'm glad that I can still derive pleasure from CCG, even after playing so many of them and getting tired of the formula.
