I must say, I've been playing this game since it came out and I keep coming back to play. It just reinforces my 5/5 rating.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game is pretty sweet but the thing that brings it down to 4/5 for me is the challenges. So luck based that its not fun its stupid, you just keep playing till the cards happen to fall in your favor. Major downer to a great game

Is it just me, or does anyone else go at little insane just by playing this? not doing the challenges just doing the main game.

Finally... over 12 hours spent on the challenges... no challenge involved, just a luck-fest. Last time....... f*ck...This...Game....

AI starts with the best cards every time in Challenge 2. Every heal card. The 14 dmg card, it has it. Every. Single. Time. You buffing your Elder? AI has the debuff card. F*ck this game yet again.

Random cards missing from Challenge 2. The 12 dmg one, every insanity card, plus a peppering of other random cards. Don't know why.

man, quit ur complaining. Its not rigged, it just has too much luck in it. I tried each challenge about 10000 times b4 i beat them all. The challenges arent hard, its just a matter about how lucky u are.

I now conclude that the Challenges are rigged. The computer always begins with the same f*cking cards. There's no other way to explain how game after game after game... he always pulls out the 14 + arcane card, or the Hound of Tindalos, or the best 10 atk pet... every f*cking time.

Also, the City of R'lyeh will 75% of the time cause Xenophobia, which is only barely useful. 20% of the time, your enemy gets Schizophrenia, which is only mildly useful as well. You will only once in a blue f*cking moon get the only useful craziness, Megalomania. Which of course can also be your downfall if they stack up a ton of arcane and use a single attack that adds your arcane. But it's also the only craziness that can bring your enemy to 1 hp in 4-5 turns.

................WHENEVER...... You FINALLY f*cking get..... the City of R'lyeh card... takes about 30+ retries to get it........the ONLY thing that allows you to have a 0.01% chance of actually beating any challenge........................... Your enemy will have at LEAST 3 attack cards..... the BEST one (14+Arcane), the 2nd best one (12+arcane), and at least a +5 BYPASS EVERY DEFENSE card.
Every time.

I do not joke. It will take THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of tries to beat all of the challenges. The game is rigged to disillusion any of your ideas of 'skill'. You are not good at this game. It's completely based on chance. I mean, might as well just have a big, shiny button in the middle of the screen that you press a few thousand times and eventually, you get a badge.

God, Challenge 15 is insane... 5 health, no Essence of Life or good healing cards... You get 1-shot killed about 1 in 3 times...
*Prays for a full deck of Mi Go cards..*
Self-surgery ftw!! xD

Can't customize your deck, no level select in normal mode, challenge mode is based FAR too much on pure luck. I like the idea but it needs work, I don't think I'll even play this to get the badges. 2/5

unholy power is broken, i got the immpossible badge, but the unholy power badge, despite doing over 35 damage at times, never updated

You wanna know the REAL challenge mode in this game? It's when you win one or two games in the core mode but don't advance any ranks. THAT is a challenge.

Challenge 15 is like playing russian roulette with 200 chambers and 199 of them have a bullet in them. I actually got the computer to 4 health but then got stiffed on any useful cards and inevitably lost from there.

@DRAGONFORCE when you die, you can just press the "load game" button XD took me a while to realize it was there though. So i felt the same way as you in the beginning

This game perfetly captures the meaning of Lovecraft's stories: You have no control, you are the pawn of outer beings. The randomness is just a way to drive you insane, because you are not in complete control.

Regular game is decent, if simple and luck-based. Challenge mode is idiotic. Without the option to customize a deck in any way the game will always be purely luck based with next to no skill involved, but the fact is that, with the exception of the early challenges, almost every round is decided before you've even seen the cards.

oh and to the point of being randomized lucky based Events (the challenges are meant of course), well at least there is the chance to be lucky, in the real ctullhu universe there are only two options: you either get killed or kill yourself (play the pen and paper game and you will know what i am talking about ^^") and besides, if it ain't hurt your sanity its not worth beeing called the Ctullhu mythos ^^
