PlayStation 2 Critic Reviews

The hidden ace among the collectible card games on the PS2.

If you're a fan of strategy, board, or card games, this is one you can't let slip by despite its unfamiliar name and unassuming appearance. It's a thoroughbred.

Culdcept provides gamers with a nearly limitless amount of gaming that is addictive, amusing and simply a must have for anyone who loves games.

A sleeper hit because of the simplicity of the gameplay and the intricacy of the strategy.

A triumph of gameplay over technology, Culdcept offers highly rewarding and deep gameplay emphasizing the formulation of individual strategies to overcome challenging opponents.

Between its multiple layers of deep strategy and straightforward combat system (not to mention its personable style and terrific level of accessibility), Culdcept can be an awful lot of fun.

Culdcept has exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. The game is deep, addicting, and an absolute joy to play.

I can't get over the role that luck plays in Culdcept, but I have to admit that this is a seriously addictive game.

What does shine is the cards themselves, which feature work by a ton of distinct Japanese artists. [Feb 2004, p.47]

Even its obscurity and relatively steep learning curve can't bring down this subtle, challenging and entertaining gem of a game. [Mar 2004, p.40]
