60 of 209 · most liked firstUpdate 3 after finishing the game! Wrote a full review down below and edited my first impression part a bit, my review contains some very minor spoilers but if you are in between to buy this game or not, really recommend to read it first. My short answer is still same. Would i recommend this game to a friend? Short answer: Not really for this price range Long answer: I played the game for a hour right now and finished prologue/played the main game a bit and i must say for this price range,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awful. I can't even rationalize how they managed to screw everything doing the exact same game but making it tenfold worse. I liked the first Voice of Cards very much, this one is killing me. Everything is worse, the party, the mechanics, the ratio of random encounters, the progress, the story, i can't manage to find something done good here (maybe the strange inside heart segments, maybe). More or less there are the same cards of the first game, i have nothing against re-using…

I worked on stuff like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Fire Emblem Three Hopes, Voice of Cards, Dragalia Lost, plus neat stuff like FFXIV TTRPG + Chocobo and the Airship. Now I'm at TPCi! Also, I don't discuss localization on here!

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars Finally got around to playing the Yoko Taro-directed card game-looking RPG that we've all diligently allowed to gather dust on our collective wishlists! It was fun! But just how fun? risingsuper.blog/2025/05/13/v...
unlabelledView post →Boy, was I surprised how much I love this game after the middling reviews. Best way to think about the series is Yoko Taro making RPG Maker games, they're really love letters to retro JRPGs. While Isle Dragon was more of a reference to seminal late-80's RPGs like Phantasy Star, FF1 and DQ1, Forsaken Maiden is a nod to early-aughts PS2-era RPGs. There's even a chapter that has an arena tournament lol. The maiden/attendant set up lends itself to distinctive playstyles in each chapter, which I…

unlabelledView post →It has a better story than the last one, but it's still weak. If Taro and company's names weren't as marketed as they were into this, I might even consider the writing passable. The UI is garbage, sometimes you will have to click multiple times to drag a spell card or it may cancel the cast if you move too quickly. The GM in this one is a lot more lively, but he screws up the reading at times, repeating the text of the cards from the beginning. (Which leads me to think they even skimped on…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Exactly like the previous game but with a worse story and horrible balancing issues. Your main character is the only one you can give better weapons to. This makes the damage output of your party pitiful from start to finish. The leading lady will do no damage until the final area of the game, and the third (and fourth) members are replaced so often you just stop caring. Most of them don't even earn EXP from fights! Important and unique items and quests are locked behind random encounters…

unlabelledView post →The Voice of Cards trilogy is super underrated!! Give them a shot when you need a little charming game that gives kind-of-sort-of DnD vibes!! 🥰 ((still need to play the third game but I LOVED the first two!!))
unlabelledView post →35. Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars Neat game, super easy until the literal final boss where it kinda locks the fuck in? Not complaining, game was a good time, very heartfelt. You can definitely feel the Yoko Taro-isms, but also it's kind of heartwarming, despite the subject matter?
unlabelledView post →Noticeably worse than the first game in almost every single way that matters. It's hard to put where this game lays for me. Personally I see it as average. I had enough fun with it I guess? Fun is subjective here. It's a slog to get through most of the time, and you can definitely see the cracks, so I can't in good conscience give it above a 5/10 and if I was being completely honest it'd be a 4/10 for me. If there was a way to say you "maybe" recommend a game, this would fall in that category…

unlabelledView post →Its a good game but for this price range and a very low content from this game is a bit disappoint, for this price range you need to add more content like side quest ,more item options ,more playable character and flexible choice to choose a path to finish the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →basically a 1:1 continuation of the first Voice of Cards game, not story wise but mechanical, so if you loved/hated the original you most likely do the same here, only difference being the speed-mode is part of the game from the get-go and not a tagged on update. music is awesome, i personally liked the OST of the first one better, esp the main song however the OST in here is still really really good and sets the mood quite well. story is... well, it's a Yoko Taro story alright, so if you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just Spend 5 hours praying to RNJesus for a stupid chest key. Even in high speed this game takes too much time to do basic things. Don't play if you value your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The excessive random encounters ruins the game and makes what should be a short, simple JRPG into a boring slog. For every 2 minutes of story there's 58 minutes of random encounters. Even if you decide to flee from every random encounter it still takes forever to get through any of the dungeons. And to be clear, what story is there is really small, each set of maiden+attendant have probably <10 lines of dialogue. The character cards and their backstories are funny/interesting but there's so…

unlabelledView post →A series that I personally wish got more play was the Voice of Cards series from Square Enix, a series that had a lot of Drakengard veterans including Yoko Taro and Keiichi Okabe. A very cool, unique and cozy style, a decently fun game system, great story, and wonderful OST. youtu.be/-02xaga3scU
unlabelledView post →Anyway Beasts of Burden was the good game in the Voice of Cards series and had the most interesting gameplay too
unlabelledView post →This game has taken all the feedback about the problems in the previous game and made this game worse in every way. There's still a vast amount of clicking to go through the dialogue and the game over explains everything. Mechanics Only the main character can be fully equipped. Laty has a weak weapon that cannot be changed, resulting in her attacks barely doing any damage for most of the game. Lac cannot have any equipment and disappears when you recruit a maiden, so he's always…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →spoiler free summary section: The Forsaken Maiden suffers from to many flaws for me to recommend this game to anyone. Highly frequent random encounters, a clunky menu system, terrible battle system, a generic RPG story that's hamfisted with melodrama, and lack of some basic quality of life things all come together to make TFM a chore to complete. The series has a lot going for it when you take into account the music and visuals but I cant help but feel there was absolutely no risk taken with…

unlabelledView post →Square Enix should let Yoko Taro and Alim make another Voice of Cards game.
unlabelledView post →It's pretty infrequent that I write a negative review, but I cannot recommend this game over the previous one. First issue with the game that I have, the endings are barely different from one another and there is no secret ending to my knowledge; I don't know why the pay off for beating the game is so insubstantial relative the first game when this one is so much harder. It's not like the secret/best ending is really necessary either, but it's just a bizarre step back in effort. Second issue,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ehhh? It's a fine JRPG but not spectacular. The music is good but it makes some choices that I'm not personally a fan of but I respect them playing with some JRPG conventions.It does some things better and worse than the original (The Isle Dragon Roars), but the story feels a bit better here. If you are looking for a JRPG you could do worse, and if the tabletop card game aesthetic with a narrator seems like your thing, it might be worth giving a try.

unlabelledView post →Not quite as enjoyable as the first game due to its formulaic structure (go to an island, deal with a maiden's story, go to the next, repeat), Voice of Cards is still a really enjoyable, stylish little JRPG.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is an RPG with a card theme to it! The world is entirely made of cards and the story is told through a narrator that tells it to you as if you were playing a table top game. Its unique as hell AND I will be reviewing it later today on my site!

unlabelledView post →Basically anyone in any Yoko Taro game (other than the sexy fisherman in Voice of Cards)?
unlabelledView post →I've never looked much into some of Yoko Taro's non-DrakeNieR titles but I may just have to try out Voice of Cards for the soundtrack alone. I'm hoping it's a good game as well whenever I do try it. I know that and SiNOAlice do some minor tie-ins to DrakeNieR but I'm not sure how much.
unlabelledView post →Ender Magnolia is a blast. Lilac reminds me of a character you’d find in the Voice of Cards video game series Yoko Taro did.
unlabelledView post →I don't understand why this game has mixed reviews. It's fantastic! Spoiler free. Improvements from the first game: The combat was a lot more varied here due to the constantly swapping party members that lead to each chapter feeling pretty distinct and fresh. Map exploration was pretty dull in The Isle Dragon Roars, with barely any change in visuals most of the game. Here, each of the different locations you visit feel different and have their own charm. For example, the first area is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the story, I actually liked both the first and this entry of the series. True that both share game mechanics but I presumed that it was going to be the same anyways since it was meant to be a small game to play as suppose to playing a 60hrs game. There were some points in which the GM reads the line twice and sometimes, during fights, you have click twice to cast your attack or even cancel. some bugs in the fighting sequences but overall it was a good game. Please give it a try!

unlabelledView post →It is depressing how Yoko Taro made a game that was critically acclaimed and sold insanely well but hasn't done anything of note beyond a remaster and Voice of Cards.
unlabelledView post →At 9PM, I will randomly draw an applicable Square Enix game that released between January 1st 2022, and December 31st 2022, that weren't ports of existing releases (remasters do count, and will be played). There will be 3 exceptions: 1. Babylon's Fall 2. Various Daylife 3. Voice of Cards

unlabelledView post →I saw this was the only voice of cards game with a mixed rating. I went into it hesitant, and lo and behold I wasn't having the trouble other people were. But the finale is just testing my patience when it comes to boss gauntlets. And grinding isn't really an option because reaching level 30 in the first game and this one are worlds apart. I was right at the end too, the final boss. But I just don't care enough to spend what, going off of yt walkthroughs, is an hour or so on the last boss. I'm…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an absolute grind and can become a real drag. There are a lot of sections of the game that could have been executed way better, expedited or cut out completely. I've really struggled to finish the game. I do pick it back up again for an hour or two but remember why I left in the first place.

unlabelledView post →Disregard all of the negative reviews on this game! I promise you that this game is nothing but an improvement on Isle Dragon in every way shape or form. This goes for the combat and the story collectively. It also improves on Isle Dragon's story as well by fleshing out the world and giving extra backstory for certain characters. Pros: 4 Characters to a party in combat New items Way better difficulty, actually makes you use your brain for most of it Arguably better characters than Isle Dragon,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game for better and for worst captures the feeling of playing an old JRPG. if you don't enjoy an older style of JRPG I can't recommend this game. But if you think you can stomach some archaic designs all I have to to say is, this game broke my Heart and I enjoyed every moment of it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More of the first game really. I liked both, but I know not everyone does. Its simple. The story telling is pretty safe, but clean. It doesn't do too much. Some might see this as not enough, but its kind of refreshing to have something clean and simple.
