Customer ReviewsReviewed on 2008-07-12  
For those who like cards or strategy
I found this game fairly easy to master. Once you have a core deck it was easy to change a few cards (if you want) to dominate this game. I didn't collect all the cards and didn't feel like I needed to. Some of the battles take hours, which could be a problem. |  | Reviewed on 2008-06-06
Needs a lot of patience and time
I admit I only played a few hours .. less than 10. Here is what I have.
Pro:
1. Some obvious improvement in some aspects over previous installment - more cards, better graphics, etc.
2. Easy to pick up and can be addictive, if you are the right type of person.
3. Can be paused in a game and leave it for later play
4. Good time-killer.
5. Allow multi-players network play.
Con:
1. It relies too heavily on luck, like many other board games. I don't see any improvement on gameplay compared to previous installment.
2. It requires a LOT of patience and time. Each game lasts at least an hour.
3. Graphics is simplistic and boring. Story is totally boring.
4. I got bored after less than 10 hours of play, and returned it before rental period expired.
5. I heard network play can last as long as 4 hours!!! | | Reviewed on 2008-04-08

Please, please, please... take this game at face value.
It's a board game with a collectible card/deck building element. It does both well, and is fundamentally balanced (see AI gripe below). From this perspective, the game is very good.
Boards and matches are rarely the same. Once out of story mode, pick up matches, both real locally and via XBL and AI based via the versus mode are available.
The combinations of cards and deck strategies are nigh limitless, while the addition of XBL online play and the struggle to collect all the cards adds replay value for a sub $50 game.
The caveats to the game are few. It is a board/card game and looks like a board/card game. No real win or loss here, if you come into the battle with reasonable expectations. Could it have looked better? Of course. Is it necessary to add the time (AND COST)? No. There is the presence of a slight rubber-band AI that is a little irritating. Also slightly irritating are the voice actors playing it out in full-blown cheap anime dub splendor. I ended up skipping cut scenes and cursing some opponents that I should have defeated.
If you are looking for bleeding edge graphics and blistering gameplay, this is not for you.
"Gamers" will love this. G4m3rz will hate this. | | Reviewed on 2008-04-06
CCG fans will love it.
This is a great game for lovers of CCGs and board games. The so many different strategies are possible that the game has nearly limitless replay possibilities.
The graphics, while nice, do not really come close to using the XBOX360's full graphic potential. | | Reviewed on 2008-03-25
Great game if you are looking for something different at a low price
Culdcept Saga is exactly what it says it is, a blend between a card game and monopoly. If you are looking for story, or solid voicing talent, I suggest you look elsewhere. Where I really enjoy this game is in playing through, discovering new cards, and adding them to your deck. Building various decks and trying them out in different situations is also great fun. Beware though, that many of the matches will take well over an hour to complete, so bring some spare time with you. Despite its weaknesses I recommend this game, especially when the low price is taken into consideration. | |
