What constitutes Inscryption? In this game you find yourself in an unknown hut and have to fight for your life with a bloody deck of cards. As you win more rounds against a sinister figure, your deck will increase in powerful cards. You progress with your character across a playing field and get to know the power of Inscryption.
In particular, the function of the victims in this game is very reminiscent of the Yu-Gi-Oh! tributes. So if you want to summon a powerful creature, you have to sacrifice enough cards. Only then will you have enough resources to bring them onto the playing field.
However, if you are unlucky and the old geezer wants to defeat you with his unfair deck, you can use items to increase your chances of winning. Depending on what you have in your “backpack”, you can place your own body parts on the opponent’s scales, cut up cards or block attacks.
Depending on how far you advance, more bosses await you with creative displays and functions that want to make your life more difficult. In addition, the grimaces of these bosses are so violent that one or two things will be burned into your memory.
The game takes on a dark role with its design and atmosphere, which is emphasized even more by its story and the countless secrets. So if you want a more violent version of Yu-Gi-Oh! If you’re looking for a solution, Inscryption might be a strong alternative for now and then.
Which platforms is Inscryption available on? The game exists on Steam, PS4 and PS5, Xbox One and Series X/S as well as Nintendo Switch.
