Runespell: Overture - Solid 7/10
TL:DR;
Looks like a port from Mobile, but plays well enough to let you enjoy it. Good graphics, bad sound, decent gameplay idea.


Graphics: 8/10
Game appears behaving like a typical mobile title, with big icons, colourful sprites, single click interface.
This is rather small title, so not much can be expected - but it does not disapoint anywhere.

Sound: 5/10
Absolutelly atrocious music, unfit for a title, where you need to pause for a while and think about your choices.
Sound effects are average to say at best, nothing that will make a lasting impact or increase immersion. Could be worse.

Storyline: 7/10
There is a story line, suprisingly, quite decent one. There seem to be no nonsense in story arcs, characters do all fit the setting.
Unfortunatelly dialogues are absolutelly atrocious. You have a medieval world full of legends with dialogues using words from modern teenagers dictionary.
Unpolished dialogue lines are possibly the greatest issue I had while playing that game (after I turned off the music).

Gameplay: 7/10
There are issues with a screen display and game settings not being saved correctly.
This is quite visible, because the game is best played in 30m to 1h bursts rater than as single continuous experience.
And the experience is sometimes uneven.

This game features poker-like mechanism of matching cards in 5 sets of poker type hands to perform 'attacks' that damage health of your opponens. This is as fun as it sounds, but wait, there is more!
You can steal cards from your opponent hand, you have runecards (effectively magic, limited use), companion cards (unlimited use), passive cards that increase your stats.
This extra layer of cards is put separate from your regular playing cards that you match during a duel.

This is as cool as it sounds, however the single duel can take a long time and its outcome is quite often random - as the card you get are randomized - which means that in 30m of gameplay you will have 3 to 5 duels (five being lucky) and some story line.
Past that it is really repetitive and that is why playing this game in short sessions is recommended.

Solid 7/10, recommend buy if a fan of a genre, wait for sale if not.
