Guardians of Graxia takes on the form of a card-based board game set in a floating island environment high in the sky of the Graxia world. Releasing with four powerful Guardians that will guide your armies into battle, charge onto the battlefield by laying out your forces strategically. Gameplay advances in turns by selecting new unit and spell cards to place and move on the tiled map surface. Win by completing any of the numerous skirmishes, or by defeating Draknal Trueblood in the game's initial campaign!

Before I go into the review, here is some information you'll need as at the time of me playing it before completing it, the game is broken and requires the following fix, however for some it still doesn't work:
Rename CREDITSTEXTFILE_ENGLISH.DAT as CREDITSTEXTFILE_UNITED_KINGDOM.DAT and MASTERTEXTFILE_ENGLISH.DAT as MASTERTEXTFILE_UNITED_KINGDOM.DAT
Both of these are in ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\guardians of graxia\DATA\TEXT\
The actual game however, it quite fun and I've been waiting for ages to play it as it's a turn-based, card based, tile-based game. It's a lot of fun, however I found as soon as I got to the second mission the difficulty just jumped out of the floor and into the sky. I'd like to see more games like this, but a little more easily balanced. Plus there are only 5 missions in it.
Edit: Looking back I gave this game FAR too much credit and leniency! Especially as today you can get far better card-based strategy games out there that this one doesn't measure up to any game, even back in the day. Not to mention the bit above with that massive bug that makes it difficult to play.
