  • Summary: Culdcept SAGA follows the journey of a princess and unlikely hero trying to bring peace back to their beleaguered country and free the land from the evil tyranny of their vicious adversaries. Summoning beasts of great power and skill, these adventurers will attempt to control strategic locations on the battlefield until all areas are freed from their enemies' influence. In Culdcept SAGA, individuals known as Cepters move around a game board by the roll of the dice, using magical cards to call upon creatures and cast spells to occupy each area they encounter. Using alluring cards designed by Japan's top illustrators, players can customize different decks to assist in their struggle for territorial dominance. As they maneuver their way around the board and land on occupied properties, opponents can opt to pay a fee for their brief stay or attack the guarding creature to inhabit the zone. Players can fortify their decks and develop strategies in single player mode, then apply those tactics against up to 3 friends on Xbox Live or on a single console. Gamers can further modify the game with their own unique style when they alter their characters' appearances using parts won during matches, providing a distinctive experience for every personality.

    Try your hand at tactical, collectible, outstanding gaming at its absolute finest.
  2. It may not look it, but it's one of the better 360 titles to date. It's addicting, the gameplay is fun, and anyone can enjoy it.
  3. Culdcept Saga is a true breath of fresh air.

    I could see the beauty that still lurked underneath her obvious heartlessness, but it was so much harder to spend time with her now. Eventually, our every assignation devolved into the bitterest of fights, and I’d storm off, vowing never to see her again.

    I've been a fan of this series since i played on the PS2 and was extatic when i found out over a year and a half ago that it was coming out on 360. This is one of the most addictive games you will ever play. I highly recommend picking it up since it also has one of the lowest pricetags you will find for new 360 games. Expand

    The story is shit but the mechanics and depth are amazing. If you like CCGs, pick this up. I've been averaging 4 hours a night on this since it came out in the US. Expand

    This game is surprisingly addictive. If you ever played a CCG your going to love this. If your looking for superior voice acting you should already know this isn't for you. It's about the cards, the fantastic artwork and the inexplicable joy of collecting them all and whooping *** in an online match. Magic players will know what I mean. Everyone else should at least take a look at the demo. Expand

    Culdcept Saga blends luck and strategy in a refreshing way. It's unique to the xbox 360 lineup and provides compelling gameplay for both single and multiplayer. Creating decks with new found cards to play against friends or other Xbox live opponents is surprisingly fun and simple. The lack of an option to speed up AI play is frustrating and playing large games can be time consuming and tedious. Beating the AI can be a challenge, especially if lady luck is not on your side. I would question the randomness of the dice when playing the AI. Example scenario... suspend a single player game, return to the game and play 5 turns noting the dice rolls. Quit to title menu and go back to the save point. Play five turns again and your first few 3-5 dice rolls will be identical. Expand
