    This is super good, and I mean SUPER GOOD. I haven't played it a ton, but it has been so much fun! 10$ is a really good value for this and has so much content. This game I can sum up saying it's a ton of new and old card games with new real time mechanics that make it chaotic. The game is designed for you to have no idea what you are doing, but it feels awesome when you can have full control over the battles. Please …

    this is one of, if not, the BEST card games ever. of course, some issues here and there, for example most enemies being nearly impossible but thats something you need to get used to. 10/10, 100% recommend.

  • [16]Steam user Steam user …7203Steam review · Sep 11, 2026 · Recommended

    Fun and interesting concept. Play your cards as fast as possible while not playing the ones that self harm. That's the basic concept. Now add 4 different minigames that all play at the same time, all involving cards in your hand. Make your opponent draw to flood their hand and burn their cards, causing damage as you go. Wish it had more players for online play and I wish I had friends that played aswell. Great time, …

    The game is awesome! I've always loved card games like Uno, Exploding Kittnes and other and this game is really good for changing how you look on them with its fast pace Sadly, it doesn't have enough players for matchmaking but playing with my friends also was great! Solo mode is good AND challenging, i love it!

    At first I thought "wtf is this ♥♥♥♥, it's way too fast and you have no time to think, you just spam random cards" but after reading the card effects and playing for a while I kind of got into a flow and it was pretty fun. There was also more depth to it than I thought. I think the devs should let us add opponents. Since the game probably won't keep enough players for matchmaking it would be nice if you could add people on steam to play with them later.

    Man, they really need to add mouse controls so that you actually could play the cards fast. Like, IIRC the keyboard controls made me fail to keep up at speed 60! I also think the misclick potential would just add to the tension and chaos rather than ruin experience. Not like the guys in the cinematic trailer were too precice with their plays, anyway

    Cardburners A card game about playing quick, fast, and brutally. You keep drawing cards all the time, and if you have to many they burn in your hands. Frenetic in the best way possible.

    When a developer reaches out to tell me about their game, I will, under most circumstances, add their game to my list because I respect and appreciate them coming directly to me. So Cardburners is now also going to be added and once I play it, I will let you know what I think. (2/3)

    This is a very fun game! It has the perfect amount of quick thinking and strategy. There is a pretty large variety in different mechanics that can be implemented. Anything + Crazy 8s is peak. The game manages to make playing classic board/card game formats with just two players entertaining. Enjoyable solo as well, although very difficult sometimes.

    Very fun, even if it takes a lot of trial and error. I dunno, I'm not too good at moving fast through my cards but not being able to use my mouse (unless there's an option I haven't found) does add a good bit more strategy to your controls. ALSO! Remember to hold cards that you find useful, I keep forgetting myself lol. But yeah, followed this game since I saw it on an IndieDev post and the trailer alone caught my attention more than most AAA games which is a hard feat. Love the art style too!…
