I got a copy of Culdcept and can not put it down. The game is a mixture of board games and trading card games. I never really liked trading card games as a kid, but for some reason the concept really grows on me here. I have played about 4 hours so far, including some multiplayer. The game, simply put, rocks. It combines all the luck of rolling a die with the strategy of building a deck of cards. I am totally hooked. I hope the graphics would be better since its a 360 game, but for my $40, the game is worth every penny.

After having played the PS2 version, I was extremely excited when I found out that they were going to make one for the 360. It's basically the same game with some added features, and that's EXACTLY what I would have wanted.

Some people may find it slow-paced. Think of this as a board/card game, not a video game.
Some people may find the voiceovers/plot horrible. This is not a game you play for the story, but for the pure gameplay alone.
Some people may find the graphics subpar. This is not a game you play for the shininess.

If you can get past that stuff, you have a serious gem on your hands with Culdcept Saga.

When i was a kid i was really into collecting Pokemon cards. Then yu-gi-oh came around and i was collecting/creating decks with that. I am now 21, and when i found out about this game i knew i had to pick it up, and i am not disappointed at all. The online community is amazing. You don't get your singing kids, loud abrasive screaming idiots of cod4/halo 3. There is an unlimited amount of depth in this game. There are endless amounts of decks you can make from over 500 cards to collect. This is must buy for strategy fans, and collectors alike.

Just as you have heard its exactly the like card game "magic";Nevertheless its super fun, you may even become addicted. With Video games the word addicted isn't bad, Apparently; It means the game must have something that can draw a person in and keep them interested.The most absorbing ,and intriguing parts for me were finding\locating all the cards,Messing around with my "decks".
At first you might be like huh?..Especially if you've never Played the real "Magic card game".
I say give it time;Either way, fulfillment is what you'll get.
Their is more then enough helpful information. Every question you may have is answered and explained right in the help menu supplied on the disk.Its one of those games you get a pen an paper for,To remind yourself of the little things.Like what character gave you the most green cards,Spell cards, etc. I found myself jotting down the best spells and creatures, What map/land was easiest/hardest. Also what deck helped me to gather what i seek.
You get to create a bunch of decks,Packing them up with whatever you wish.From neutral,earth, water,Air,Fire,items,Tool- s,Armor,scrolls,Spells
(single-target)(Multi- target)cards.Changing book covers and naming them keeps everything in order. Also it keeps records & stats of how you did on each map.You unlock new clothes such as hats,weapons,capes,etc;As you play more and more an defeat different Characters.Who you also get to play as after defeating them.You may re fight them again and again to unlock more things.

Culdcept Keeps you and throws you off many times, Example:By randomizing the characters on the maps,just when you thought you had it down. Leaving it not so predictable and easy.I remember getting p1ssed off more then a few times with a couple of the characters, but that just makes you want to play more.
I personally can't say enough about this game ,Their are many different lvls of play ,an Thinking involved. Its all about Strategy and does require Patience. Ran outta room lol

It's already been said. The strategy and luck of a trading card game (like Magic the Gathering and Yugioh) and the strategy and luck of a board game like Monopoly come together to create an enjoyable playing experience that everyone should try at least once. Don't let the sound of that combination scare you because it's not complicated. Anyone who can read, add and have a good memory can plan this game (but most won't because it's not Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, or any other game that's gotten a boat load of advertising).

It's easy to spend hours building and editing your deck before playing and hours playing with friends (not to mention playing online, which I haven't done yet, but I will).

This game should get more respect than it has. The uniqueness of this game should help it stand out. But because the graphics aren't crisp for a next-gen console, people will complain about it and focus more on graphics than gameplay. If you are looking for a pretty game, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something different, challenging, and will hook you almost instantly, buy this game.

It's a great game and made my son think. He had to consider the various creature abilities, what changes in strength and health various items/spells would provide. While he may of been a tad young in some folks eyes (he just turned 7), he really enjoyed it. He knew the various creatures by name and if there were limitations (territory , strength, health ) etc. Just like a board game but more interactive.

I give this game multiple thumbs up and am now looking for another game similar.

Love this game. I've played it a ton. Once you beat it, which isn't hard to do, there really isn't much more to it. But I don't care. It's the best. I would buy an XBox just to play this again

Since purchasing this game over 6 months ago, 3 of my friends have also bought copies and this has turned into one of the best multiplayer experiences I've had for many years. This game is simply a blast to play.

Culdcept SAGA is a unique game and a little difficult to describe. It is set up as a board game with 'property' that can be landed on and acquired. Just like monopoly, you can level up your territory and create chains to increase their value. You claim territory and challenge the claims of other players using a deck of cards. There are nearly 500 cards with a variety of effects - this makes deck combination's almost infinite. Culdcept SAGA is surprisingly balanced considering the number of cards and variety of map types.

There is no game quite like Culdcept SAGA and you owe it to yourself to check it out. Just be prepared for a new addiction.

Culdcept Saga is a weird idea but done right. Tons of cards, long Single-player campaign with helpful tutorials to suck you in, and endless amounts of online battles with friends and random people Via Xbox live. Not the game for everyone, but if you like Magic the Gathering, Yugioh, or other card battle games as well as some strategy, you own it to yourself to buy this hidden gem.
Worth every penny.

I went to the store to pick up a different game and this one happened to catch my eye. After reading the description, I was intrigued. Well, it surpassed all expectations. I really enjoy it.

Things I like:
1) The collectible card part (my kids and I all have different cards and the randomness of getting them is kinda neat).
2) The hybrid card/board game (don't even mind the luck factor-although it can be annoying rolling 3 ones in a row while the other players are lapping the board.
3) The learner curve was not to steep.
4) It's just fun.

Things I don't like:
1) Holy Word Zero (stupid card-especially when your oppenent has it as an ability on a short map...lol)You'll see what I'm talking about when it's played on you.

Truthfully, there is nothing I have ran into that I haven't liked, but I have only invested about 15-20 hours so far. My kids (7 and 10) like it too.
