On her first day at Dudsdale Elementary, 10-year old Jess accidentally gets everybody's favorite collectible card game banned, forcing the kids to take their card battles underground. Troubles arise when mutants from the game invade the real world, and it’s up to Jess and friends to stop them. From the award-winning indie game studio, Gambrinous, creators of Guild of Dungeoneering, comes an RPG where battles are played with an epic collectible card game. Cardpocalypse takes you back to the 1990’s, a time when computers used floppy disks, and people read magazines for video game cheat codes. You will explore Dudsdale Elementary on a mission to build killer card decks in an effort to defeat the mutants. You will have to trade, earn, wager, change rules and permanently alter cards on your way to victory. • BE A CHAMPION: Build your decks around the ultra rare Champion cards you earn. Each Champion comes with unique abilities to tailor your deck around. First player to get their opponent’s Champion card’s health to zero wins the match. • GO MEGA: Champion cards evolve to their MEGA forms when their health halves, doing more attack damage and gaining new powers. • CHANGE THE GAME: The kids sometimes use house rules and who knows what the Mutants will change. Throughout the game you will choose the new rules and conditions as well as renaming your favorite cards and giving them upgrades using stickers. Create entirely new cards using the Mega Mutant Power Magazine. But be careful, these decisions are permanent. • GET SCRAPPY: Adventure throughout the school to unravel the strange occurances at Dudsdale Elementary. Take on quests to earn cards, stickers, and candy which you can collect and trade with your classmates. Careful, there’s no backsies! • YOU CAN’T COLLECT ‘EM ALL: In the end, your decks and rules will be unique to you. Stickers are rare, choices matter, and sometimes you’ll have to make a tough decision to get the best cards. • THE 1990’s: Through its totally rad, choice-driven, interactive narrative, Cardpocalypse delivers the experience of being a 90’s kid.

I think this game will be pretty popular as a collectable card battler especially given it’s also a proper game with a story and you get choices on what you want to say/do which makes you feel more involved in the game and makes it feel more fun. Highly recommend checking this out for any ccg fans if your happy with a single player experience.

PBSNellie Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2013 1,381 168 63 Southern CA #4 PBSNellie, Sep 27, 2019 Really like this, except for too.many.cutscenes. But then I'm not a fan of cutscenes. It would be nice to have a skip button. gambrinous Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2016 90 1 8 Dublin, Ireland #5 gambrinous, Oct 1, 2019 Aah, thanks for the review TA! https://toucharcade.com/2019/10/01/apple-arcade-cardpocalypse-review/ I think Tyler really 'got' what we're trying to do with Cardpocalypse ste86uk likes this. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,774 999 113 #6 ste86uk, Oct 1, 2019 I really should boot this up again I loved it on my initial play Strongfort Member Mar 22, 2015 18 0 1 #7 Strongfort, Oct 3, 2019 Anyone running this on iPhone 11? Mine just gets stuck at “Loading... Profile” gambrinous Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2016 90 1 8 Dublin, Ireland #8 gambrinous, Oct 3, 2019 There's some issues with Apple's cloud save service that have been quite frustrating (only happening to a few people). Can you make sure you are online and signed into Game Center and try again? Strongfort Member Mar 22, 2015 18 0 1 #9 Strongfort, Oct 3, 2019 You bloody genius! My Gamecenter in settings was freezing trying to open. Restarted and got in, signed out and in and now all games are working. Thank you! gambrinous Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2016 90 1 8 Dublin, Ireland #10 gambrinous, Oct 3, 2019 Glad it's working for ya, but boy is it frustrating when Apple's issues make it look like our game isn't working... TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #11 TheGribble, Nov 3, 2019 Wow, but I absolutely live this game. Loving the story, the artwork and the card battling. And the music. And the characters. And just about everything, actually. One question for The devs if they’re listening - how do you select the second champion for tag team? I just can’t work it out and can’t get any further. Roger the Alien Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2017 183 29 28 Germany #12 Roger the Alien, Nov 3, 2019 I guess if a sticker was put on a card, it will stay there forever... TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #13 TheGribble, Nov 3, 2019 Yeah, they seem to be permanent. On the other hand you get loads more. I hoarded them way too long, but I guess that always happens... Roger the Alien Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2017 183 29 28 Germany #14 Roger the Alien, Nov 3, 2019 I almost played this game the whole day, I am having a great time. I am using an iPad Air 2 and noticed that I will be stuck in a battle pretty seldom as my opponent won‘t act. I know that sometimes a brain appears next to the enemy which shows the next action is calculated but that‘s not what I am talking about. If it happens, it will happen pretty soon on the first/second turn of my opponent. I own a rare 6 cost card which is green, stats 1/1. I really like it as it lets me switch this card with another minion of my enemy if deployed. Could it be that there is a bug? I used it several times and sometimes I am allowed to attack with the stolen minion right away, on other occasions I have to wait for the next turn. If I am not wrong, I should always be allowed to attack right away. If the stolen minion had charge I wasn‘t allowed to attack during the same turn my observation so far... TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #15 TheGribble, Nov 5, 2019 I’ve seen the freezing thing a few times and emailed the devs about it, they were really helpful and are looking into it, seems to be random when it happens. TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #16 TheGribble, Nov 5, 2019 Things that annoy me so far: Occasional freezes in battle The deck building interface doesn’t really have any instructions and is a bit confusing - I’ve played most of the way through now and still don’t really understand how you select a card, how you pin one and how you view it in close up. I think it’s something to do with which bit of the card you touch? I’ve had greyed our cards I couldn’t select and I’m not sure why. Roger the Alien likes this. TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #17 TheGribble, Nov 5, 2019 Things I love about the game: The art style is amazing - it’s a little cardboard world and so distinctive. There’s a whole school of kids and teachers and I can recognise most of them by sight, and the card art is great. The writing is superb - genuinely laugh out loud funny in a sweet and genuine way and all of the characters have their own unique personalities. The card game is really well balanced and nicely thought out, with some seemingly massively overpowered abilities that actually fit in really well against each other. The game builds nicely, never over facing you with piles of instruction and becoming slowly weirder throughout Love the sound effects and music, especially the little speaking noises and the musical intros for the champions Roger the Alien likes this. gambrinous Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2016 90 1 8 Dublin, Ireland #18 gambrinous, Nov 5, 2019 There's a bug in the iOS build where you can't select the 2nd champion. We are waiting on Apple to approve the fix, unfortunately they are taking ages to approve new builds for Apple Arcade titles. I guess they are testing them more rigorously? Sorry about that :/ gambrinous Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2016 90 1 8 Dublin, Ireland #19 gambrinous, Nov 5, 2019 Re: random freezes in battle, that should be solved now (on PC) - so in next patch on Arcade, once approved. On the stealing minions, thanks for letting us know. Will look into it! TheGribble Well-Known Member Oct 29, 2010 62 9 8 #20 TheGribble, Nov 5, 2019 Ah, that’s a relief. Glad it’s not just me being crap. I guess I can wait a little while, or I might start another game and try a different faction... (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
