Quite a fun PvE card game with a decent eldritch themed VN alongside it, lots more content to dig into here than I expected going in.
A very sharp difficulty curve associated with the card game itself, which some may not enjoy as the game is largely focused on building to "counter" other decks rather than building a pile of good cards or your favorite deck type. Still, this formula works to the game's strength for most of it, always engaging and making you change up your play style.
The only real issue I find with the mechanics of Kamifuda is that later fights effectively all become both sides attempting to kill the other on the first turn due to an overabundance of 0 mana cost spells which either net advantage or refund energy, and as the AI has stronger cards than the player this basically requires you to make even more cheesey strategies like killing before first combat to compete. Thankfully this is only the last few duels, otherwise the mechanics of the game really do lend to both a challenging and fun experience.
Would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys card games, or maybe even just wants to read a pretty good story about a bunch of eldritch mages.
