Culdcept BEGINS is an excellent deckbuilder/board-game hybrid that cured me of my deckbuilder fatigue.

Culdcept Begins is so very difficult to put down. A game only takes around half an hour to play, but one game is never going to be enough. Between players of equal skill, victories will always come down to the thinnest of margins, and then you’ll want to choose a different deck and try a different playstyle to counter your friend the next time. Blissfully microtransaction-free (it would have been very easy to make Culdcept very expensive), Culdcept Begins is everything a good digital board game should be.

Culdcept Begins is the best opportunity to experience a brand new Culdcept game fully in the west since the days of the Xbox 360 (as I said, the 3DS game came out in a post-Switch world; that wasn’t a fair shake!).

The single-player content is a great tutorial with a little extra, but the breadth of this game is in the customizable card decks and the potential long legs of multiplayer, be it locally or online.…

Culdcept Begins is an interesting mashup of card and board game, with loads to learn and plenty of familiar frustration when you roll badly.

Culdcept BEGINS is a game where you move across the board, claim territories, and build strategies using cards on a Monopoly-style board.

A combination of Monopoly-style board movement and compelling card battling makes for a fun concoction of strategic gameplay.

Culdcept Begins offers a vibrant hybrid of board game and monster-battling concepts, but it struggles to find its own identity. Its shallow narrative and over-reliance on randomness prevent it from standing out.
