Breaking down cards into dust like Hearthstone is also a thing, and earning free currency (zenny) to buy packs is slow-going. This is GungHo, so there’s daily bonuses, tons of IAP (in-app-purchases, or, microtransactions), and currency to juggle. Now there is the typical free-to-play card game schema involved, so don’t get too excited. It’s an awesome feeling to save a Shinku Hadoken with Ryu that has just enough damage to punish a huge enemy minion and wipe it off the board just as your minion in the same lane is landing the killing blow. Battling other human opponents can get really intense, as you engage in a series of standoffs and counter each other’s abilities as they trigger. The combo of real-time lanes and card-based abilities allows Teppen to feel more intense than most of the other card games on the market.
Oh yeah, about that! It’s actually pretty fun and takes place in real-time, so folks who hate turn-based card games might want to give it a look. This is literally something out of a fanfic I created 20 years ago and I unabashedly love it: plus, look how great the art is! While it would be even more absurd in a proper RPG like Project x Zone, it’s much more palatable in a card game where ultimately, these little vignettes don’t matter and the card play comes first. The little storylines are silly and brief, but engaging enough to justify the connected world. Unlike adaptations like Magic there is no source art from a physical game to translate over, which makes these original works even more impressive.
Most of the characters are teeming with life and personality, and the visual team knocked it out of the park to the point where I would say the quality completely eclipses most card games. I’ve seen plenty of complaints about the art (Mega Man X’s dead eyes is a common one) but I absolutely adore it. A lot of memorable faces populate the realm of Teppen (with a kooky storyline bringing them all together, and currently, Ryu, Rathalos, Mega Man X, Chun-Li, Morrigan, Dante, Wesker, and Nergigante are playable heroes.
