I like the concept a lot. With a bit of tweaking and polishing this could be really fun.

Crashes when I run main.exe: ImportError: No module named os
Interesting concept. With a bit of polish this could get really good.
Great game. I would have appreciated mouse control and perhaps combined attack and move phases.
I think I liked this game all around, except the interface was amazingly clunky and hard to deal with. I spent almost all the time with my eyes fixed on the current phase over on the side, so I could be sure of what I was doing. I still wasted several turns hitting enter past my move or attack phases. There's just a million ways that part should be better (step 1: automate the whole enemy phase, don't make me hit enter to get through it).
But the rest of it is really good. If I wasn't struggling so hard with that, it'd be really rocking. It's amazingly complete for an LD48! Just a whole lot of game. Mrfun expressed shock at my number of heroes, but you've got dozens of unique card effects here!
Not my type of game :(
I had a lot of fun playing this. It had music(!) - good music at that - and the sound effects(!) were well placed. The gameplay was inventive and challenging, strategic but still fun and surprising thanks to the card system. The graphics were reasonable but faces on the cards would have been nice. A small issue I had with the gameplay was that the card effects had names which were used when they wore off, but this was confusing as these names were not mentioned in the card descriptions before I played the cards. All in all a great game!
I play all the way through. It was fun and very challenging. I did draw the fool card THREE times!
I really liked this game, I wish it would display current effects so you don't go next to one of the monsters and then remember you picked up The Hanged Man. If you continue making it after the contest let us know. Now you can include those public domain tarot images. :)
I liked the music, it's rare for an LD entry to see music. I also think the game could be pretty cool, but I had a hard time figuring out how to play it. Eventually my game was cut tragically short when it crashed when I tried to use a card "Wheel of Time" I think, which had an effect listed as ???.
The entry I've played the longest so far. Was fun. Didn't get past Level 8, though. Guess I didn't come prepared enough.
Interesting gameplay that kept me occupied for a while. The difficultly can really depend on what cards you get on some levels but overall it's relatively easy.
With some tweaks (the interface needs work) and more polished graphics it could make a great game.
Great music and nifty idea.
Excellent game! It's good fun, and well polished. Graphics are fairly simple but it doesn't matter all that much. The gameplay is sophisticated, and the music's well made. Conceptually great idea, as well. :)
Great music ! Interesting strategy game ... you have to play you cards right :) I can see quite a lot of effort has gone into constructing devious levels, providing tips etc. I got the "Tower" card ... nice use of the theme. Would look great with some detailed tarot card graphics.
Great concept! I love this genre and using tarot cards was a great twist to it. The interface was a little clunky, I'd prefer a keyboard only mode, and I missed a few attack phases because I was pressing OK too much but overall this was a lot of fun. The card effects were great and really fit the card. Good music, too.
Hmm. There is some kind of card that makes game fall. Tried to run game trough cmd to see what lead to crash but was not able to catch it for 3 time. Save games would be nice :)
And card combos with kings and queens makes character very powerful some times :) Had 20 movement points each turn once :D
Well may be not super polished game and graphics is not good but fun to play while it lasted :D Would be nice to see a sequel :) Ouh and one more thing it didin't represent theme well actually...
Quite nice! I too looked at Tarot right off the bat when the theme was announced. Nice job running with it, though maybe some story regarding The Tower card would help (it having to do with impending upheaval etc). I made it to level 9 before I realized how long I had been playing. Good stuff!
