Devil Royale SURPRISED ME With FUN GAMEPLAY!!

Devil Royale, a game that just released today, and to be honest, my first 10 minutes of the game was not that great. I thought the game wasn't that interesting. BUT! As I continued to play, I found out that this game was actually a lot more enjoyable than I first thought,.

Gameplay wise this game is set up like a card battle game. You must summon your monsters to try take down the opposing enemies castle. There is a mana type regen system that as you save up more points, you can summon the minions of varying mana cost. They do not show their attack numbers on the card while playing, or the health, only their summoning cost. One thing that really annoyed me while playing, was the fact that you cannot check your monster cards while in battle to find out how to best use them on the field. Instead you need to memorize them from going to the deck menu on the main menu and read all your monsters abilities there. I was NOT a fan of this and it was very frustrating in combat because I cannot remember all of their strengths and weaknesses.

Visually this games graphics are really basic, the combat map and in game models are 2D sprites and 2D maps, while the monster card art is 3D images of what they look like. I did think the 3D did look pretty bad though and I felt the 3D images on the cards was out of place from the overall games aesthetic. If they used 2D art like what you see on the intro loading screen instead, I think it would have looked much better.

Overall I'd say that this game surprised me. My initial response wasn't good and I thought you could just overpower the enemy with just spamming monsters. However this was not the case, and I quickly learned that there is a level of tactics involved and while it was fun to figure out which unit did what, I still truly think the game just needs to let us read the monsters info by long pressing on the card in order to find out on the fly which monster to use first. I ended up really enjoying my experience in this game. And I think you should definitely give it a go!
