Steam overwhelmingly praised “Stacklands”, a masterpiece of survival cards at the time house level! | 4Gamers

When it comes to card games, generally players are more familiar with the type, if it is not PvP card battles like “Hearthstone”, or PvE Roguelike works like “Slat the spire”. Chances are you’ll see other types of card games.

Now there is a highly rated card game “Stacklands” (stacked continent), which not only has an overwhelming praise rate of 96% in the case of 15,000 reviews, but also plays “Survival” on the Steam platform It is quite special with the “card” type label.

The evaluation performance is so impressive, and the genre label is such a special work, how does it play? After 15 hours of playing, the author cleared the level, so I would like to introduce this time house-level card game “Stacklands”.

Create more cards by dragging and stacking

In terms of difficulty, there are only two items that can be adjusted, which are the length of one month and the peaceful mode. The length of one month can be selected from short, medium and long.

The longer the time, the simpler, because at the end of each month, you must pay enough food according to the number of villagers you have. The longer the time, the lower the frequency of payment, and the lower the pressure of survival;

The peaceful mode is to determine whether there will be enemies, but it should be noted that if the peaceful mode is turned on, there will be many game content that cannot be experienced, so it is extremely not recommended to turn on the peaceful mode.

The core gameplay of the game is to let the “cards interact” and create new cards by means of dragging and stacking. fruit bushes, and berries will come out.

The interaction between cards may not only create new cards, but also change cards. For example, if you drag a villager to three logs, the logs will be combined into a “wooden board”. If placed on a stone, it will become a “brick”.

It is worth mentioning that following obtaining the blueprint, players can make new objects according to the instructions given by the blueprint, or they can make new objects without blueprints, and successfully make new objects through their own attempts and thinking. It’s a pretty fun part of the game.

There are many types of cards. In addition to resource types such as stone, wood, and iron ore, there are also many cards that belong to the “facility” type.

These cards have very important effects. For example, the indispensable “house” in the game is made of two pieces of wood and one stone. We can let two villagers stack on the house, and following a while, babies will be born, so that Babies continue to stack on houses, and following a while they become villagers.

If you want to have more materials, or don’t want to repeatedly drag and collect resources, you can make lumberyards and quarries in the early stage, which are equivalent to trees and rocks with no limit on the number of uses. As long as you drag a villager up, it will be endless It is quite convenient to collect resources.

Almost all cards can be dragged to the “sell” place to turn the cards into gold coins. Of course, gold coins also exist in the form of cards. If there are too many gold coins and want to save space on the table, we can use 1 gold coin Make a “coin box” with 2 pieces of wood to store 100 gold coins.

The main purpose of selling cards to earn gold coins is to use gold coins to buy more card packs. Card packs not only have the opportunity to obtain rarer resources, such as iron ore, gold ore, etc., but also have the opportunity to open new blueprints or Monsters with rare materials.

There are 8 types of card packs that can be purchased at the beginning of the game. Each type of card pack can produce different items. For example, the “Must Have for Novices” card pack with 3 gold coins can get the most basic trees, rocks, berry bushes, etc. Basic materials, while “The King of Explorers” has a chance to open forests, mountains, grasslands and other cards that can be explored.

Combat and career system centered on equipment

In addition to surviving and researching and developing technology, this game needs to fight with surprise monsters from time to time, but the operation of the battle is quite simple, as long as you drag the villagers to the enemy, they will automatically attack.

The intensity of the battle is completely determined by the equipment on the villagers. Each villager has three parts that can be equipped with equipment cards, namely the head, body and weapons. Equipment cards can be obtained by defeating enemies, and can also be interacted with through cards. synthesized.

Interestingly, this work also has a career system. There are 17 occupations in total. When ordinary villagers are equipped with specific types of weapons, they will be transferred to corresponding occupations. As a miner, the speed of mining will increase, and if you install an ax, you will become a lumberjack, and the speed of cutting trees will increase.

In addition, there are also combat occupations, such as fighters, archers, wizards, etc. The attack speed, hit rate, damage and defense performance of each occupation are different.

In addition to the basic value bonus, some equipment will also have some special effects, especially mage-type weapons, such as the special effect of “Magic Long Staff”, which has a 15% chance to heal teammates when attacking, and other weapons also have Effects like dizziness, bleeding, etc.

In addition to surviving, defeat various dark forces

The goal of this game is not endless survival. In fact, according to the instructions of the mission system, following the basic survival needs are met, some simple plots will start to be triggered.

It can be simply divided into the main line of defeating the devil, and the two major branch lines of exploring the island and exploring the forest. Although the game is cleared as long as you defeat the devil, you can still continue to play following clearing the game, and there are still many tasks to complete following clearing the level.

In addition to the boss of the main line, there is a side line that instructs the player to make a “stable portal”. The player can assign up to 7 villagers to fight in the dark forest through the portal. Every time a monster is defeated, a more powerful monster will appear , until the final defeat of the “Dark Witch” is considered to be the completion of the branch line.

Another important branch line is to go to the island to explore. The way to go is to build a “small boat” to let the villagers move to the small island. The small island not only has different resources from the main mainland, but also has many new cards to make. The very important “gold” in the game Mining resources are also obtained from the small island, and the exploration of the small island is considered to be complete following the exploration to the final defeat of the “sea monster” on the small island.

epilogue

This game is a very distinctive survival card game. Not only is it very easy to play, but the length of the content is also enough to play for more than 10 hours.

The disadvantage is that when there are too many cards in the later stage, the table will be quite difficult to organize. It will be more painful for players with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but this is not a serious disadvantage. Overall, it is quite recommended for games that like cards, strategies, and survival players.
