Really amazing game with a shocking amount of content to play through. Lowkey had me thinking through what I was doing and was genuinely something insanely incredible. The reputation system made me think of "Reigns" in the beginning. I ended up warring against England initially and got betrayed by the HRC. Was really happy with the deck I had built up against the HRC. Literally everything about this is amazing and well polished.

How does the game fit the theme?
Card game where you can't always trust your cards
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Reused some card game infrastructure I had, and a map of europed I traced, and used sounds from Pixabay. The rest was made from scratch
How many people worked on the game?1

The game is incredibly well polished and fun to play, which is saying a lot coming from someone who isn't into card games, lol! The only critique I have is how much it use a bit of RNG when drawing cards, I had some terrible luck while playing, lol, and thats fine for a jam submission. All in all, great game
I love deck battle games, and this one is done right! Nice settings and easily engaging. I'd suggest you to do some works on balancing the game. At some points I was unable to deal any damage as my cards were dying as soon as I deployed them, and I strangely WON those games! So it is neat and has A LOT of potential but would be great with some balancing improvements. Easily 4/5 for me!
The thematic idea about the system is that if 2 militia fight 1 archer, the 2 militia "push" the archer back and so you gain an advantage, but you lose one soldier because of the archer fire. I wanted players to balance gaining advantage and not taking too many loses. I agree that it's weird that you can win with just cards in your hands lol. Need more balance for sure
Thanks and glad you liked it!
I liked the game! I didn’t quite understand how it matches the theme of the jam, but I don’t rule out that it’s just my stupidity. The game’s artwork is really nice, you probably spent a lot of time on it. I didn’t find any downsides, the only thing would be to upload a lot of different music and play them in turn with fade transitions, because after a while it gets annoying. Good luck!
I really enjoyed the game! I definitely appreciated the tutorial at the beginning, because without it I probably would have struggled to figure out what to do and how everything works. The text hints explaining what is happening and what I should do next were also really helpful.
My favorite part is probably the art style, especially because I used something somewhat similar for this jam too. 😄
For the future, I’d maybe like to see the cards become a bit more visually distinct. For example, the axeman could have a different character design from the archer, instead of mainly changing the weapon. But I completely understand that there was very limited time during the jam.
Great job!
Viva la Franks!
I really like your game, it is super easy to pick up and play, I have had a blast going through the game. I really like the music and the visual style. I had a good time playing it :)
Really fun game!! I’m not usually great at strategy games, but this one really pulled me in. At first I thought it was super easy ,just drag any of the cards around and win. Then I got back to Paris and everything changed… and all my light cavalry ran away 😭
song slaps, took me far too long to realise why my guys were dying but very fun and nice it’s so quick to replay a level!
A fun little card game. It took me a while to figure out how everything worked but I got it before long. I thought it fit the theme and was enjoyable throughout. The art style was nice and the dialogue was funny lol. A fun little time all around :)
The game was every fun to play the only problem is that at the beginning the game needs to tell what button to press to make it the next narrative which is a bit annoying but other than the its so fun and looks so unique
