Missile Cards is a fun and interesting hybrid game that I’ve been looking forward to for a while. As a fan of pixelated aesthetics, the graphics bring a sense of nostalgia for me, and the chiptunes are wonderful. Controls are easy, since all you do is tap and drag cards around into their proper slots, and the gameplay mechanic is challenging, fun, and rather addictive once you get the hang of things. The missions that you must complete give you a goal to strive for, as well as high score chasing. If you like mashup games, then Missile Cards is definitely one to have in your collection.
This certainly won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as it’s easy to imagine some people will think it too simplistic or just not dig the core concept. But the appetite for card games on mobile seems to be unending, and Missile Cards fits the bill for mobile gamers looking for something in that genre that they can play solo and still find a challenge that will provide them with hours of fun.
Due to the rampant increase in difficulty and sometimes feeling wholly dependent on luck, Missile Cards is a great idea that frustrates just a little too much to be a great game.
SummaryMISSILE CARDS is a turn-based defense card game inspired by the retro Atari classic Missile Command. Arm your defenses and blast away flaming death orbs, nuclear warheads, and other hazards hurtling down from space.
