Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is an RPG set in a world of sword and sorcery, told entirely through cards. Players follow a self-proclaimed hero on a quest to slay a recently awakened dragon. Navigate the world as a game piece on a board made of cards, engage in turn-based battles influenced by dice rolls, and let the narrator guide your journey through a captivating story.

Our Expert Score

85/100

Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a breathtakingly unique take on the JRPG genre, presented entirely through the medium of tabletop cards. From the characters and enemies to the terrain itself, everything is a card. This isn't just a gimmick; it creates a cozy, focused atmosphere that feels like sitting down for a session with a master Game Master.

The writing, spearheaded by Yoko Taro, is sharp, humorous, and occasionally melancholic. The combat is traditional turn-based fare but enhanced by the tactile feel of flipping cards and rolling dice. While it may be a bit slow for those used to action-heavy RPGs, the charm of its 'gamebook' aesthetic and the incredible soundtrack make it a standout experience on mobile.

No, it is a traditional narrative RPG that uses cards as a visual style. You do not need to buy booster packs to progress.

Fun game to play with some down time!
Fri Feb 02 2024 Insanyty_z

This game is great, especially if you enjoy rpgs (the gameplay is simple and very satisfying)and obviously Yoko Taro. You tap on screen to proceed through the games towns, caves, forests, volcano, fields. You can buy armor, weapons, and items to help you throughout the game(need gold). Only one VA which I think is fine(he’s great). Some fun unlockables such as different dice, playing tables, and player cursors. It’s a fun time when you have some down time while on your phone (best platform for this game imo). Game is maybe 12-15h long wouldn’t recommend finishing in one sitting e_e. Small multiplayer card game revolving around numbered suits.(it’s how you unlock custom boards, dice, etc.) which can be played online! That is all.

Great Game, Hidden Gem!

Sad to see negative reviews due to technical issues. This is a great game. I have purchased all 3 and love them greatly. Quick and easy to pick up and play. The auto save helps when you have to abruptly close out. The story is really neat and I find the battle difficulty to be well balanced. Screen doesn’t rotate, but it has to be played in landscape mode and does it really matter if the camera notch is to the left instead of right? No! It does not.

Good game, needs better user features.

While I enjoyed most of this game, I fear that the lack of save game features using game center really keeps it from being truly great. I would love to hop between devices to play this. Saved games are stored locally so there is a chance of a recovery loss, which isn’t great. Please add cloud saves and game center support.

So happy they brought this to mobile
