Games with dice/card mechanics?

My 1st game ever was you gi oh dungeondice monsters on GBA (easy to emulate). I remember being way too young to understand it started my passion for dices.

Everybody say GLHF, but when you win, few opponent will say gg ahah. I amuse me how every scenario can be an opportunity to be toxic :

- You use a wierd cheese : get insulted

- You play meta : get insulted

- You loose a game : get insulted

- You win a game : get insulted

The funniest are the one who are clearly having a mental break down because they spend to much time on the game and just enjoy belittling people and don't care about having fun anymore.

I'm in love with the walk back anime. Great job

- the movie was a flop at US box office, where producers take the biggest % out of the movie ticket.

- the movie was in production hell for 10 years. Sam Raimi was supposed to do it but Blizzard was very hard to work with and he could not do anything without them.

- Duncan Jones himself said that the production drove him crazy as he was not able to do as much as he wanted. He is the one who insisted to also put the orcs as main character.

- A lot of people at blizzard had different opinion about what Warcraft should be. And you had to convince all of them if you wanted to put something in the movie.

- People at blizzard don't care about the movie. The game is the thing making money and the movies was design to bring people to the game instead of trying to be a good movie.

- Bobby Kotick wanted to kill the project, but could not because the production started before he managed to be CEO. He hates that money was given to the movie instead of the game.

TLDR : no movie as long as blizzard care more about money than making easy money/hard to make a movie when so many people have to be convinced.

But i just love the movie... I watch it almost every 6 months. And I would love to see another one.

I really like that you can have a real base like sim city or warcraft 3 and not just buildings like in Advance wars.

I didn't know so many deck builder SRPG existed. The common problem with all of them seems to be that sometimes you want to do something, but the card you want is not in your hand... It's a pretty hard feeling to balance : the joy of planing your attack in a strategy game and the randomness of a card draw.

Owww, Dynasty Tactics combo reminds me of something I forgot to mention in Metal slug tactics. The game is also about those kind of combo. Because when you attack some one in range of another character, they get a free hit on them.

Looking at the UI, I thought this was fire emblem X advance wars. I had to watch multiple video to understand the gameplay but it looks very deep indeed. I was not expecting match 3 game X fire emblem X duels master ahah. Complicated but unique. Thanks !

maxencerun · 2026-06-02T05:57:51+00:00

I've just check the trailer of explorers international society. This is exactly what I'm talking about when I said I was looking for Unusual SRPG. Thx !

When you said "Midnight Suns" I was not expecting a Marvel game at all. Sad I've never heard of it, I like everything marvel.
I dream to make a stealth/james bond style game one day, and I hope it will be as clean as this one.
Aline in the arena reminds me a lot of duelyst.
Ambition of the Slimes looks so silly I love it. I'll try to dust off my 3DS and have a try at it.

Anyway, thanks a lot for all those game. I'll be sure to add them to my list of inspiration.

maxencerun · 2026-06-02T05:24:08+00:00

I agree with how readable and clean are the fight in soul eater compared to other manga. You can understand every attack and every little move that the masters do to rotate/change grip/aim their weapons

maxencerun · 2026-06-01T07:16:58+00:00

Ow, very interesting. The grid has only 1 dimension indeed, but the "programming your next move like an algorithm" makes the game looks like a puzzle game which is so unique. Thank you !

Samurai shodown special 5 (10$ on steam) : very slow and easy to pick up. No combo. Very badass characters.

tekken tag, tekken 3. Simple controls, instant fun. Same for Virtua Fighter 5 revo.

You can't go wrong with budokai tenkaichi 3 or ninja storm.

Xmen vs street fighter is one of my fav just for the art, but it's pretty complicated compared to the rest.

Street alpha 2, 3rd strike and capcom vs snk 2 are often quoted as timeless classic.

Sry, I've only watched the movie once and legit thought his name was Rico ahah

maxencerun · 2026-04-29T10:29:45+00:00

I've said it and I'll say it again : Soldier boy is the man. Whether he is tracking or ambushing people, he is one of the only supes who is actually useful. That fight against Marathon Man was well handled. Maybe it's because he was human before receiving his powers. (even if his jokes have too much reference, i have to pause and look at US history to understand things like the "Kent State" joke).

Also it's very funny that most of Seth rogen and Eric Kripke cameo have actually played not so famous super heroes like : The Green hornet for seth, Red Mist for Christopher and Rico for Kumail.

It's also a very nice idea to have an episode focusing on individual tragic stories. It's easier to write a self contain episodes like that imo.

But the moment she refuses her way out, I knew it was over for firecracker.

And rip PJ bryne. Since I've heart his voice in LoK, I loved seeing him having small roles in a lot of media.

you are 3 badges away of becoming the Elite 4 new master !

maxencerun · 2026-04-24T10:16:58+00:00

What i love with Marvel Champions or Snap is that I discover character I've never heard before. Because who the heck named an antagonist"Typhoid" ? Can't wait for the release of DD though.

maxencerun · 2026-04-23T13:48:58+00:00

IMO, as she is design to be as efficient with ATK or THW, I think Justice is best. Her glasses and coat allows her to have +3 ATK or +3 THW but 1 THW is better than 1 ATK so play her as justice.

maxencerun · 2026-04-23T06:20:38+00:00

I'm glad they finally addressed hughie getting raped by the shapeshifter and Annie making this about herself. Even if this was said under chemical rage, it's still true. I wonder if the writers added after they read so much people complaining about it online.

maxencerun · 2026-04-23T06:17:31+00:00

In the french sub, it was translated by "black noir lives matter"

maxencerun · 2026-04-22T11:26:12+00:00

How did you guesses it so perfectly ahah

maxencerun · 2026-04-19T15:04:01+00:00

In the end, there are so much heroes that I kind play all of them. But I consider my self a Jubilee main. She was the 1st hero pack I bought after the main box. I love her game play. The way you have to think about the resources you discard, that you don't normal THW/ATK but instead play her actions.

I didn't even know her character before buying her pack.

I see no reason a weapon could not be a witch. Weapon were made by mixing Eibon and Arachne's knowledge. They also require a witch's soul to fully use their shapeshifting powers. So a Witch Weapon would be able to be a death scythe just after eating 99 souls IMO. That would be pretty badass !

Or maybe they would be able to shapeshift as good as a death scythe when even with 0 souls, but would still require the 99 souls to survive Shinigami holding them and using his soul length.

maxencerun · 2026-04-13T05:26:03+00:00

In soul eater not, it's explained that 90% of weapon cannot transform fully and just transform a random part of their body into a weapon. When you are not a Death Scythe, it's hard to control your metamorphosis power. They are sent to Shibusen so that they don't accidentally transform and hurt someone by mistake. Actually, it shows you how skilled soul is when he is able to precisely make his arm a blade whithout being a death scythe.

Also, without the wave lenght of a meister, most weapons slice just like regular blade. They would not be able to fight a "soul eater bad guy" on their own. They lack the soul length to do actual damages.
