Rally Point: Oh phew, Songs of Silence is only pretending to be a card game
- Songs of Silence has been described as a card game, but it is actually a strategy game about warlords towing armies around a top-down map, with gridless movement, bashing neutral armies and capturing towns for XP and riches.
- Cards are used in Songs of Silence only as a way to present information, and you could substitute them with buttons or MMO action bars.
- The game replaces turn-based tactics with an auto battler system, in which hostile armies run at each other. Players can periodically drag a card to fire off spells and powers.
- Songs of Silence has a refreshing pace thanks to it doing away with constantly building sites and resource hoovering.
- The game offers the option of playing on two maps at once, linked by portals.
- The campaign is a dull story without memorable characters.
- Songs of Silence is almost fascinating and tampering with an established design framework was a gamble, which definitely worked.
- This design has legs and there is some strategy fun to be had here. But its excellent art highlights its remaining quality of life limitations, bland story, and pedestrian rivals.
