A fairytale with an art style darker than the story itself. POV changes between two characters: the protagonist: Elisabeth and Marcus, her main companion. While the store page mentions it being in the same universe as Snow White, I didn't see a connection to the story other than a very brief appearance of a huntsman and a few dwarfs. I feel like the title could've just been "Winter's Curse" and it would've been less confusing. The gameplay is entirely linear, as there is no exploration or even choice in where the protagonist goes unless a sidequest pops up. But that's a minor issue to me. The story and gameplay were interesting and fun, so I still recommend it. I don't know if each chapter is worth $5, so maybe get it on sale. The first chapter is still free-to-play if you want to try it before buying the other chapters.
This is an amazingly fun game. The first chapter of 5 is free but the rest will cost you. Not sure if they're worth the asking price but when they're on sale, definitely worth it. The Huntsman: Winter's Curse is a turn-based RPG where the skills you use are based on a deck of cards. Every piece of equipment you use (weapon, armor, and 2 accessories) will give you access to a different set of cards and sometimes a special bonus (or negative effect). So there's a lot of strategy in what you decide to equip. On the same page where you choose your equipment is also a skill tree. Everytime you level up, you get to choose one perk - all passive. Battles, as I've said, are turn-based. There's a bar on the top of the screen that your characters and the enemies move along and get an action at the end of. Many cards have effects that push the enemies back on the bar. Of course, they can do the same to you. You get 3 cards to pick from (you can only choose one) each time you can perform an action. They're random. As soon as you use one, another random one will take its place. Some of the perks on the skill tree will allow you access to more cards in each hand - for a total of 5. It's definitely nicer to have more choices. At the end of a fight, all your HP is refilled. (YAY) I really loved the battles. The art in this game is lovely and the music is pleasant though there's not much variation. The story.... it's interesting, to be sure. But the main characters always seem to be bickering so I kinda want to smack them. Still, I'm enjoying the journey. Throughout the plot, you get to make many decisions and I'm sure these affect how much exp you get sometimes and items you can find. At some point, I'm sure I'll play this again just to see what different choices offer. I've completed 4 of the 5 chapters so I can't tell you if the ending of the story is any good. Let's hope so! This is not an action game in any form. It's strategy all the way. This has been one of the more enjoyable games I've played this year so I definitely recommend it. Oh, a heads-up for achievement hunters. All you have to do to 100% the game is play through all 5 chapters. That's it. Additional: I played the game again, making different decisions and using different strategies. I can indeed attest to the fact that decisions matter. They change exp gained and what items you may or may not get. They determine how many enemies you face or if you face any at all. It was neat to see the differences. I really love this game.
9.3/10 - Exciting New Visual Novel/Card Combat Hybrid! I just completed the first episode in a little over an hour. This one was free but the remaining 4 episodes are $5 each; which I am seriously considering since I really dig this game! You are Elisabeth a girl who must leave the farm and embark on an epic and perilous journey to find her brothers. This visual novel blends perfectly with card/turn based combat and RPG elements; I’ve never been into card based games but this may have changed my mind. The graphics and story are both well done and I can't seem to get enough of this game! I wish the first episode was longer! I love the use of the map; it's interactive and serves as your hub for travel, quests and character items and gear. Worth $5; this first episode is free. I'm hoping the remaining 4 prove as fruitful! Update soon (EDIT): Just completed the Fifth episode and I was equally if not more impressed. The length was about 2 hours which I was pleased with for about $4! This game still has me hooked; if you enjoyed the first grab this on sale! Total length of all 5 episodes was 9 hours and some change Accidently Reviewed Was this review helpful or maybe even not helpful? Either way join this group for more. Free Keys and Reviews weekly!

Book 1 [Free] Description Result Time to finish Just over an hour Interest sparked Weak Alright Good Value for money Weak Alright Good Once I got used to the somewhat cheesy dialogues, this adventure was pretty enjoyable. The story itself is alright and the combat aspect is challenging enough to stay interested. It's not a fast paced action game. If you're not interested in reading the story as it unveils, this is probably not for you. Book 2 [DLC] Description Result Time to finish Hour and a half Interest sparked Weak Alright Good Value for money Weak Alright Good The plot thickens and the journey continues. Apart from some cringeworthy phrases and some asocial responses from both the female protagonist and her trusty sidekick; the story still catches interest. Combat has become more fancy now that the selection of cards is expanding. Book 3 [DLC] Description Result Time to finish Hour and a half Interest sparked Weak Alright Good Value for money Weak Alright Good After finishing the first three books in the series, I am left with the feeling that it was worth the ride. May is just around the corner and I'm looking forward to Book 4 and 5.
