Are there any other single player tcgs as good as this?

>>724588974 (OP)
no

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeid40RXrvQ

Some of the single player Hearthstone content was good

>>724588974 (OP)
They didn'tr make anymore tcg games because they saw how people would rather buy these than paying shitton for the actual cards.

>>724588974 (OP)
Inscryption

>>724589929
Nar it was because of WotC being petty bullshit assholes who were actively trying to sabotage ptcg as it was taking money away from other tcgs they had control over

>>724588974 (OP)
This Is fun on an emulator.

The digimon minigame in the DMW3 game is fun, but you have to beat the main game to beat the card game minigame as well and get better cards.

>>724589950
Inscryption made me fall in love with TCGs again. Had to replay OP's pic to fill the void. Then got stuck in Shadowverse limbo.

>>724589929
This. It proves that TCGs are just scams.

>>724588974 (OP)
yes, pokemon tcg 2 for gameboy color

The Monster Rancher TCG on PS1 is pretty good.
seconding this >>724590532

I remember when I was younger this one was pretty good. The ost was nice too

I’m currently making a single player card game by myself but the card system is more like yugioh than pokemon. It still has the same plot of getting 8 badges and facing the elite 4 but there is a calendar with a day night cycle. There is more focus on the town exploration like you can go to the fast food restaurant and get a card pack when you buy a happy meal. There are weekend locals at the card shop. When a new pack comes out in-game after you beat 3 gym leaders there is a midnight release you attend and play a draft mode. I’m currently working on the monthly tournament where you fight random decks with increased difficulty to become the monthly champion.

>>724588974 (OP)
Yeah, the second one is better

I liked Shadowverse Champion's Battle but I have nostalgia for the old Shadowverse.

>>724588974 (OP)
The ost for this game is god-tier

The Duel Master GBA games are surprisingly fun

>>724588974 (OP)
I recommend Capcom vs SNK Card Fighter 2.

>>724588974 (OP)
what was the free card it came with again? I wanna say that funny looking mewtwo?

Cardaire came out last year. I don't know of any other recent single player TCGs.

>>724588974 (OP)
It's such a fucking shame that spinoffs like this can't exist anymore because it's wildly more profitable to be a shitty gacha game instead like Pocket TCG. I hate whales so much it's unreal, I just want another comfy adventure-style Pokemon TCG game that isn't a barebones mobile phone game designed to extract NEET bux from the mentally ill

>>724593046
Meowth

>>724592919
I mostly remember them for Mimi's pixel booba

>>724593187
The old TCG online was good, and the ones that came after it just got worse...

>>724590532
Was going to post this.
10/10 card game.

>>724592654
I've been playing this game recently. I'm mostly using a Sacred Phoenix/Zombie mix deck. Shit is so cash. Never have to worry about backrow.

>>724593313
nice, I remember the anime mostly for Mimi's boobas

>>724590304
I seem to remember WotC was going to make a new set (Jamboree) that would actually bring over the Vending sets as well as some Western-exclusive (or Western-first) cards.

>>724588974 (OP)
I would love a fan recreation of this game but incorporates actual card scans, true RNG, and making some of the complicated cards that were cut like Fossil Ditto and Base Electrode, actually workable.

Hell, if it was an official remake that would be just as cool.

>>724594502
I never questioned it before but now I have to
How is it crying underwater?

Most of them try to hard to be challenging where pokemon tcg hits the sweet spot of every npc is super awful at both the game and deckbuilding so you have free reign to do whatever you want and even make an impractical deck yourself because it won't get hard countered by the meta staples that shut down every deck because nobody is using them

A single player tcg rpg has always been something I've thought would be really cool.
>game opens with the player at 10 years old at Walmart with parents
>get to pick a starter deck as a present
>gameplay involves battling other kids on the playground
>mini-games where you do chores around the house to earn a pack from Mom and Dad
>towards the end of this section people to battle will get less and less numerous
>final section it's just you with your deck and everyone else has moved on
>pick up 5 years later in high school
>one day walking with friends you notice a card shop that recently opened
>big ad for the game in the window
>decide to get back into it
>this section you go to locals every week and every month is a big tournament
>include prerelease events for new sets every few months
>mini games where you work part time jobs to fund your hobby
>section ends with the MC graduating high school and attending his first pro event
>final section picks up 3 years later
>MC is a full on pro at the game but not super successful
>arc is basically just tournament grinding trying to become world champion

Throw in some story elements throughout, maybe a cute girl to have a romance arc with, I think it'd be pretty cool provided the actual card game was good.

>>724590532
Honestly a lot better than you'd think. Plus I believe it's a sequel to a Japanese game that was far more bare bones. Best of all, you can turn off and on animations pretty easily in the middle of a fight, in case you just want to grind or you want to see the animations.

>>724592798
sounds very epic

>>724588974 (OP)
Why is this considered "good"

>>724590532
This is a good one.

>>724588974 (OP)
I wish there were more like the Pokemon and Monster Rancher TCG video games, with little worlds to explore in the games themselves. I don't know why more TCG RPGs were not made.

SNK Vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash is my favorite game in that very niche genre. Glad it got a modern port with the second Neo Geo Pocket Color collection.

>>724590730
I love it when there is a trading card game as a little side thing within a game. Bug Fables did that too.

>>724592798
I'm cheering you on anon.

>>724588974 (OP)
Culcept is on of the best game ever

>>724601965
Which one?

>>724588974 (OP)
If you really like Pokemon TGC you should play MTG Shandalar (heard it had a new version in the Forge engine) and Thronebraker: The Witcher Tales.
I consider those 3 the holy trilogy of single-player TGC games.
If you still want more I also recommend SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash for the Neo Geo Pocket Color.
It's a pity the genre is really small.

>>724592798
My friend and I did this when we were 12

I don't remember how good this actually was, but for some reason I got it as a game, didn't have space for it on a memory card, and then I just replayed the beginning over and over to see what monster combinations I could get. Might be worth it to go back, but I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with it. I do remember liking the music.

>>724602482
I played the gameboy version, it was a fun game.

>>724588974 (OP)
Play the sequel
Has an english patch
There's also a romhack with gen 2 cards and one with cards from every gen

Just replayed it a few months ago. Fantastic game.
>beautiful sprite work
>grinding grunts for packs extends gameplay, but each fight feels different unlike random encounters in normal Pokemon
>experimenting with decks is fun (though tedious, since you need to use the machines to remake your decks rather than just use the same cards in different decks)
>Pokemon game with the highest potential for strategy

It's a shame they didn't just copy and paste this TCG fighting system for their mobile game, which should have been the bare minimum.

>>724588974 (OP)
Card City Nights 1 and 2 are comfy.

>>724588974 (OP)
The Yugioh Tag Force series. All of them (aside from Special) are fantastic 2 is my personal favorite.

I remember playing a gorillion yu-gi-oh games on the gba

>>724588974 (OP)
Had 1 as a kid and never understood it, but I played it recently and it's great. A bit rocky at the start since you need to grind a little for Bill and Professor Oak, but it's great.
Don't like the sequel very much. The gimmick fights have me spending more time in the deck editor between every match, and the forced linearity of GR Island just sucks. 1 let me do almost any club in any order, but 2 forces me through a linear path of clubs.
Psychich is bullshit to fight, though. Usually no weaknesses, and constant coinflips. I started keeping track of coinflips in 2, and the game is heavily weighted. Your actual odds of heads is about 1/3 while the computer is about a 3/4 chance.

>>724590532
the boss fight in this game against the hacker who cheats is really cool

>>724588974 (OP)
There's a bunch of YGO videogames of varying quality. I rec WC 2010 / 2011.

How was Metal Gear Acid?

>>724606213
it is even more cool if you understand who he is main villain of Digimon World who gets banished to the card game world

>>724588974 (OP)
I wish there were, it's an incredibly underserved market

>>724606301
they're all pretty decent, but they're all fairly grindy. There's a decent amount of upside though and you don't need to beat them to enjoy them.
If you want to play the WCS series and actually beat those games, please don't make the same mistake I did and play them on emulator. It took me around 100+ hours to go through every CPU and their pack unlocks on WCS 2008, and that was before getting to the postgame. Even on fast with no animations and while trying to rush through filler battles, having to beat every CPU 5 times each and then having to beat every cup took forever.
I guess it's fine if you're not a completionist, but for me that's a core part of playing solo TCG, being able to complete sets of cards that I'd never be able to do irl
I've heard some say that the storymode of WCS 2011 makes it especially worth playing but I can't speak on that yet, so ymmv

>>724588974 (OP)
>>724590532
for anyone who enjoyed Digimon World 3's card game, this is basically a full game of it https://store.steampowered.com/app/3068670/Anode_Heart_Layer_Null/
i've yet to play it because its full release is very soon (November ETA), but I played the card game in the original Anode Heart (which is an homage to PS1 Digimon games) and it is a straight upgrade to Digimon World 3's in all except the fact that it isn't Digimon

>>724606886
anode heart is brazillian furfag fetish shit and no amount of saying "it's a spiritual successor to digimon world x, promise!" will make it so

>>724594808
Brine tears

>>724603159
The Neo cards would be gimped since it wouldn't have the new mechanics that were introduced by that time, including stadiums (remember those?), Pokémon Tools, and Baby Pokémon.

>>724588974 (OP)
I really liked Yugioh spirit caller

unironically the closest thing I've ever seen to this is the second act of Inscryption, and that's a big part of why I liked it despite everyone else hating it
really the best you're gonna get is something like duelists of the roses, it doesn't play anything like yugioh (arguably that's to its benefit) but it's the only game I can think of that's a deckbuilder and does something interesting with the concept. unless you count the 40 trillion "deckbuilding rougelikes" that litter steam.

>>724608730
nta but I played the romhack that replaced the cards with Neo ones and yeah it's way more "in spirit" than "in practice." I remember being pretty upset when I looked up my ace card from that game (lanturn) and seeing that the real card was entirely different.

>>724607036
i have no idea what schizo shit you are babbling about

>>724588974 (OP)
The Tag Force series. You can't tell me the first 3 weren't a direct sequel to the Pokemon TCG on the gameboy. Its basically pokemon tgc island setting and a with MC in red clothes but with extra content like more duelist npc's, npcs having up to 4-8 different decks, a time of day and day of the week, npcs changing locations depending on time of day.

>>724604053
it's crazy how much better the gameboy color game is to that trashy mobile game

>>724610593
why don't they make a new game? On a platform that people actually own?

A PC yugioh game would be great

if you're starving enough for a game like this that you liked Inscryption act 2, as barebones as that was, then you might as well play this: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3124080/Cardaire/

it's similarly as barebones but it has everything you're looking for. gradually increasing card pool, npcs to battle, etc

>>724611004
They did, twice. 3 times if you count Master Duel

>>724611161
that's not a pokemon tcg style game though

>>724611161
>>724611195
or a tag force style game

>>724611086
I wanted to like Act 2, but not being able to rematch npcs was a dealbreaker.
Fucking hilarious how much of an homage/copy it is of Pokemon TCG GB, though.

>>724588974 (OP)
Nope.
No protagonist cuter, either.

>>724588974 (OP)
Tetra Master was pretty fun but I was five years old at the time so the other mini games from the series might be better?

>>724606335
It was fun as a card game but absolutely bonkers even as a Metal Gear story.

>>724589929
Why wouldn't they buy a shitton of these games if they kept redoing them? I remember duels of the planeswalkers was relatively successful and sold many copies. I know I'm not the only player out there who checked out of the scene after they dropped those games. It was a way to sit down and play magic and not be instantly stomped by whales since everyone had access to the same cards. I miss that series like you wouldn't believe.
Also, I think they're priming us for something related to this. Maybe a new game. I just saw a youtube vid recommended to me talking about this game and now I see a thread. Could a remake be in the works?

>>724611415
Triple Triad is the gold standard of which every Minigame in Final Fantasy is compared against.

>>724611453
>Why wouldn't they buy a shitton of these games if they kept redoing them?
Because Pokemon cards are actually a scalpers black market and have been since the late 00's, much like CS2 skins. They don't want kids getting an easy or cheap fix on their pokemon cards by playing a video game. They want kids fist-fighting grown-ass adults who buy entire shelves of Pokemon cards at a time.

https://youtu.be/EpbHONmC_as&t=82

>>724589929
I think it was more that these games would quickly fall behind the real TCG's release pace, so they had diminishing appeal and publishers didn't see them as worth the dev cost. Like Pokemon TCG 2 never got an official English release, and it was already 2 or 3 expansions behind at the time of the Japanese release.
Nowadays these games have online clients that can receive updates, but for the most part they're still not seeing single player RPG campaigns as viable investments.

>>724611862
> Like Pokemon TCG 2 never got an official English release,
It didn't help that it was thrown together rather hastily and was like 50% the size of the original game + some more xpacs.
Which is a crime, we needed Mint on our shores.

I want to say there was a mobile game recently that was the pokemon tcg

>>724611858
But that's stupid and gay. If they really wanted to they could always just make proxies. Casual video games and physical card games have different target audiences. Faggot whales are what keep me from playing tcgs too.

>>724588974 (OP)
Soundtrack remains undefeated. This might be one of the first games that I used a fanpatch on so I could play the sequel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KQYiwmxWY8&list=PLTpGp7iRbpDj42UVjLPvkJxbO_xjkQuLe&index=5

>>724612047
You can make a fanpatch for the sequel? I need to know how to do this. I want to play this in stereo

>>724611858
>work retail
>we get in maybe one case of pokemon packs every month at most
>literally within the hour they're always gone cause some "investor" buys up the entire stock when they see it
>not even getting into how it has to be kept behind the counter because it is THE highest-theft item in the entire store otherwise
this isn't even a target or a walmart where they got dedicated shelf space for this stuff it's a fucking dollar store

>>724612116
This is why I exclusively collect Digimon creatures instead of crummy pokemon creatures.

>>724612115
Sorry, I worded my post like a fucking retard. I meant that the sequel was one of the first games I used a translation fanpatch on because it never got localised and I desperately wanted to play it.

what kind of ruleset should a single player card game rpg have? like what's well-suited to a digital card game, freed from the limitations of needing to hew to physical cards like pokemon tcg on gbc or tag force

>>724612298
Ah, yeah. I did the same.

>>724612306
>what kind of ruleset should a single player card game rpg have?
balatro

>>724612306
We've had a few based off of Solitare, IIRC
Also Balatro, which is poker on cocaine.

>>724588974 (OP)
I played way too much of this as a kid

>>724613334
My fucking nigga. Practically mastered the jank and inconsistent unlock paths for characters and skills and it feels like I have forbidden knowledge. As far as I remember no guide was actually 100% accurate and some of the weirdest shit could lock you out of characters, skills, or transformations for the rest of the playthrough. Fucking peak game though.

>>724613334
For me, it was

>>724588974 (OP)
the SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters series
the DS entry even has a super serious business story where a supercomputer is threatening to detroy the world unless someone defeats it in a children's trading card game

>>724615272
Now we have access to LLM's and they've been heavily reined in lest they morph in to schizo-bots, by the time we get true singularity AI this is becoming more and more plausible.

>>724589153
Hell yeah. Brb, picking guitar back up.

>>724613334
Truly an underrated game. Was challenging at times, too.

>>724611415
>>724611503
Queen's Blood is better

>>724617506
>We might eventually live in a time where a literal child saves his entire continent from destruction by defeating an AI in megaman

>>724612697
balatro has none of the qualities of poker aside from some of the hand names, and isn't an rpg besides

>>724615272
The OG on the NGCP is one of the best card games out there, the gameplay is the smoothest shit ever and the story line is just a kid fucking around arcades and amusement parks trading cards without a worry in the world but to become the best card player ever.
The sequel added "Reaction" cards (work like trap cards but you activate them from your hand) which is a welcome addition but now the game has a story which gets in the way of the game specially went the characters won't stop talking.

>>724596229
Eri a shit, Yakumo should have won.

Yugioh Spirit Caller is good.
