Culdcept SAGA - Day 1

Well, my new game is Culdcept SAGA. From everyone I have read and heard from (including Chad from Gamercast Network's Video Game Show), it's been described as "Monopoly mixed with Magic: The Gathering." And, that is pretty much what I have seen from it... so far.

The system is that there is a path, with a Castle starting area (like "Go" from Monopoly) and squares that are different areas (Air, Water, Earth, Fire, Neutral, Multi.) These squares can be used to place creatures on, and have them guard. All the creatures have an Attack and HP. And their HP doesn't regenerate (with the exception of creatures that actually have regenerate on their card) unless you pass the castle, or heal them yourself. Beyond that, you have a hand that not only has creatures, but spells and items for use too.

And, the games are not short. The first fight you get into took me about an hour, and I had to retry once because I was about to lose. It feels like Monopoly from the "Go" area, and just having 1 match be 2 hours long (potentially.)

I have a feeling that this will be a game that will take months to completely review. But for now, I will end this post.
