We set out on a quest at The Gamers Hub to challenge people in an all out battle of wits and wisdom through the latest table-top collectible card game offering, Spectromancer. What we dug up were four avid players and loyal fans of the site who were willing to be our guinea pigs in this little test. The following pages are written by those four adventurers on their path to know what it is to play Spectromancer. Very little editing has taken place as we wanted to give you a concise review from the mouths of the gamers themselves. Follow along as we review the game through the eyes of Chad J. Mowery, Dave Both, Jeffery Philip and Christopher Joyner.
AppSpy: Spectromancer isn't the first of its kind on the App Store, but it's still a pioneer of the genre and being able to play with PC fans means there's a built-in community from the outset.
Touch Arcade: If you've played Hothead Games' Kard Combat [Free], it's a safe bet that Three Donkeys' Spectromancer [$1.99 / $3.99 (HD)] is going to seem familiar. Very familiar. It's not just that they're both card-battle games in the same vein as Magic, it's that they have exactly the same rules, play the same way, and while the cards have different names and art, their game stats and abilities are identical.
Although the basic playability is easy to understand, it did offer a lot to think about with the cards that you have on offer, and certainly something that GDN may look into with future games that they purchase. They can absolutely recommend it to players of all ages from any game background.
