THE EYE OF JUDGEMENT CARDS PORTABLE

While the basic gameplay itself is pretty easy to grasp, the whole concept of the cards and their various properties and effects that may or may not occur simply overcomplicate things, making strategizing and planning out the next move a lot more brain-numbing than it should be. Weaker cards that cost less can be of more use simply by taking advantage of the elements or used in conjunction with other cards on the playing field. What's interesting is that having a deck filled to the brim with strong cards isn't always the best course of action as most of these cost a lot of mana to activate. Cards can be earned by defeating enemies or by purchasing them from the card shop. The game features a deck builder as well, allowing players to build and customize their own decks to suit their preferences. Depending on player judgement, duels can also last surprisingly long before a victor is decided. These actions include rotating cards, attacking, summoning and casting spells. However, much like card games in real life, drawing cards is done at random and players will have to make do with what's available, making strategizing all the more gripping.Īctions in the game cost mana, which is drawn at the start of every turn when a card is sent to the graveyard or if the player uses certain spell cards. Players start off a duel by drawing their hand and are given the choice to mulligan, or draw again, should the cards not be satisfactory. However, the game is just as much about chance as it is about strategy. Strategizing and using these factors to the advantage is a very important tactic to victory. Each grid itself has their own designated element and matching these can yield bonus stats like hit points and increased attack power. To keep things balanced, each element has their own strengths and weaknesses: fire is weak against water and wood against earth. Cards are categorized according to their elements: fire, earth, wood and water. Most of the game will have players on a 3-by-3 grid, duking it out with whoever gets in the way of them saving the world.

Where the game truly shines though, is in its gameplay.

There are times when the plot can get climactic, but these instances are few and short-lived. Moreover, the story is overly mundane and cliche to the point that it becomes a bit difficult to take seriously. It makes the story more of an instrument to simply battle an AI enemy instead of hooking players in with an interesting plot. The story leaves much to be desired with a misfit cast of characters and lines that sometimes don't even make sense. Players take control of said wizard, challenging many foes of varying elements as they progress through the game's story mode. In order to bring the world out of the darkness cast by the Bioliths, a Chosen Wizard is sent forth by the gods to cleanse the lands. In Legends, the world has been torn asunder and chaos wrought to the lands of fire, earth, wood and water thanks to the invading Biolith army and their leader, Lord Scion who, for a reason that isn't very clearly defined in the game, has a hankering to destroy everything in his path.

Despite that, Sony's Japan Studio has still packed plenty of punch in this adventure that will have players putting their noggins to more use than the average portable game. The Eye of Judgement: Legends is a card game for the PlayStation Portable and although it was originally released on the PlayStation 3, employing the EyeToy peripheral in order to bring its beastly creatures to life, this portable take on the card game is a much more humble experience.
