Description: This is a world ruled by darkness and magic. For centuries, war has raged on between the principalities. Countless heroes have fallen in battle, and legends began to grow. Magicians created this card game, Darkest Mana, to remember the heroes and recount the legends.
Review: There are several good card battlers for our VR headsets and while the genre isn’t overcrowded any new game will have to bring its A-game to do well. Sadly Darkest Mana: Master of the Table didn’t have an A-game, to begin with. It does OK, I mean it looks nice and some of the animations on the little characters looks smooth, but with no-one playing this online it means the multiplayer side of things is dead and the AI of the game for the single-player mode is as stupid as they get, so you can see all the game has to offer with the first 10 minutes. Then there is the ridiculous £7.19 price tag that is the final nail in this games coffin. Unless this suddenly becomes free it is not something worth bothering with.
