An indomitable game. A game whose primary gameplay loop (along with graphics, balance, and ease of play) sucks so bad that its secondary gameplay has all the room in the world to shine.

This game has nothing to do with cards, do not play it if you are looking for a card game. This game is terrible as an RPG, and barely good as a management/base-building simulator. But as a world and as a game-space, there are maybe few games on the level of this.

I replay this game maybe once a year. Not because the gameplay is good. But in spite of the fact that the gameplay sucks because the music and general aura this game has is so thick. You can feel the rotation of the entire Earth in these levels, menus, and cutscenes.
