PC Critic Reviews

The only real complaint I have-besides the non-scrolling map mentioned earlier-is that the game has no multiplayer mode.

Addictive poker role playing with real tactical depth making sure every battle keeps you on your toes, all at a bargain price.

Overture deals a winning hand with this gem, delivering addictive gameplay in spades. [Nov 2011, p.52]

There is no doubt that this is a quirky game; however it hangs together well and delivers an entertaining gaming experience.

Combing two previously uncombined genres results in a challenging, strategic and addictive experience, which makes up for any storytelling shortcomings.

Runespell is an interesting weird mix of a card-game. Based on the points from Poker and Yahtzee to unleash special cards and attacks, the game offers a fun alternative to the other CCG around. Although, the absence of an online multiplayer PvP is a real downer.

With the introduction of the new and entertaining game mechanic called Mythic Poker, Runespell: Overture becomes quite an interesting little game. You fight your way through medieval England and battle both Vikings and powerful creatures from mythology.

If you're looking for a card game and you're in love with the poker Runespell: Overture could be your game but keep in mind it has no multiplayer and the gameplay can be extremely repetitive.

Delivers an interesting and fun variation of a traditional card game and turns it into a competitive puzzle with myriad nuances to its strategy. Unfortunately, it doesn't do enough to keep the variation fresh throughout.

I really enjoyed the ridiculousness of playing poker to stop ice wolves and castle guardians (just think about it…).
