"One of the great things about video games is that, no matter what your interests are, there's a game for you somewhere out there. Of course, for more traditional gamers, there's your standard fare – sports, shooting, and platformers, but what if you're not looking for something as commonplace as the new "Gears of War?" Say you really want to merge two different kinds of "gaming" together – video and card - and then mix in a bit of a tactics twist to the game, what do you do then? That recipe, while it may only appeal to picky eaters, really results in just one gaming concoction, "Neverland Card Battles." It's an extremely unique title which takes on the tactics meets card battles gameplay..."
Shadow writes "Originally released on PS2 in Japan only, Cardinal Arc offers a second life on PSP, and enjoy this time a french release (as well as a new name). This hybrid between the T-RPG and Card Game fate at a reduced price for the occasion, and at the same time as the Japanese version, thanks to the emerging society of Yuke's Company of America. Neverland Card Battles is up to the expectations, or is it a game without interest?

This phrase stayed with me while I was playing NeverLand Card Battles. The game itself is a blend of a collectable card games such as Pokemon or Magic the Gathering and a tactical role-playing game such as Final Fantasy Tactics."
Gamepro: "Neverland Card Battles is one baffling game. While this title has all the basic fundamentals of a decent card-based tactical RPG (large battlegrounds, complex combat rules, and so on), they actually make one really terrible game when they're all put together. With a bland story, bad voice acting, and one of the most annoying tactical systems I've seen in an RPG, I can't recommended this game for anyone but fans of this niche series."
