    Sniper-shooting aside, Guardian Cross doesn't do a huge amount that's different to the many other card games on the App Store. But crucially, it's polished the experience to a hitherto unseen level of refinement in its art, interface and engagement.

    Guardian Cross mixes up Japanese RPG elements with western card games and sets it in a Sqaure-Enix-like world. Being free-to-play might be a problem for many players, but we believe it's special and it's worth a try.

    So if a game has some clever ideas, looks pretty and sounds fantastic, but is kind of a monotonous grind under all of that... well, that's where you end up with Guardian Cross, I guess.

    The whole game is tied together with a surprisingly lengthy story and the high production value art expected of a Square Enix game. And once players get the hang of the story, a challenge coliseum lets you put your deck against other real players for item rewards and competition for a top spot on the leaderboards.

    A dull collecting system and a dull combat phase are just two of the many problems in what is a shallow but good-looking Trading Card Game.

    Guardian Cross presents itself like a strategic card battler mixed with a classic JRPG, but it lacks any of the depth necessary to pull such a thing off.

    Guardian Cross can be fun at times, but those times are separated by long stretches of boredom.

    Guardian Cross has little beyond the illustrious name of it's developer going for it.

    I can see how Guardian Cross could easily be someone's favorite card or freemium game on the App Store, but it just isn't mine. I don't find myself making interesting decisions that are then borne out in gameplay.

    Great game, I like the card designs, I tried the new Magic game but I prefer the faster pace of this one. Use this code when you first start out to get really good cards and a head start.

    I quite like this game. It can be really fun without having to constantly be on it. I'd appreciate it if you use my referral code BK67613 which will give both of us a good cards to start out with. Full Review »
