Void Tyrant
Single-player card adventure
Who knew that blackjack could save the universe? For fans of the classic card game, Void Tyrant is a definite hit.
This strategic adventure isn’t exactly like its earthbound counterpart, however. For one thing, you’re in alien worlds, waging card battles with monstrous opponents. And instead of drawing to reach 21, the magic number is 12. Go over that and you take damage. Tough bust!
You’ll gradually enhance your character’s gear and abilities – upgrades that can quickly turn the tide. Swords parry incoming blows, for instance, while laser pistols burn enemies. You might even find bonus power to edge closer to that round-winning 12.
Stick around for multiple playthroughs to unlock hundreds of cards that change how you do battle. And with different character classes (Knight, Priest, Duelist) and multiple paths, no two games play out the same way. Whether you’re dueling spineless Heatwisps or disarming laser-grid traps, this creative card game is one smart bet.
