TCG Crack Shop Simulator

Unique in both style, ideas and gameplay. A must play.

PlayStation Network Account required, blocked with firewall. Suck my balls.

Here's a mod to skip it completely: https://www.nexusmods.com/godofwarragnarok/mods/22?tab=description

You're forced to play at low difficulty, beated the last boss with just one button and didn't even look online for a build.

Good cutscenes don't make good videogames.
Bad writing doesn't make a good story.

Played it years ago, and still think it's the most unique strategy game I've ever played.

Several art pieces missing, but the core design feels almost complete. Some weapon are much easier than others so they'll obviously feel better to a beginner. No bugs of impact to be found.

Plant thing, thing grows, happy
Buy chickens, they make egg, egg hatches, baby chickens, happy.

Ever more refined mechanically, with the usual comfort sweet and sour story typical of the series.

The first "live service" game to understand that the “End Game” should actually be the game itself.

They need time to balance certain maps and tune certain "stratagems" a bit; a few graphical bugs here and there both ui and models.
But it's a fun game worthy of your time.

Usually it is in my custom to give a comparison for a similar game you might have played, this feels new and yet, doesn't? It's and odd good game, mechanically speaking it's an excellent portrayal of trekking and walking fast on really challenging terrain, a bit heavy in the beginning but only to make it far more enjoyable when you get upgrades and then you quickly move to vehicles.

My suggestion would be to not do any side "quest" before act 3, for reasons you'll understand.
It's absolutely worth playing if you don't feel like getting into straight action right from the start, you'll get plenty after the first couple of chapters that serve as a hook/tutorial combo for the complexity of both story and game play, and regarding the story, it makes the game stand out as a true gem, worth every single frustrating moment that you may get from the game while you're figuring it out.
