Zindan keşfi ve Solitaire türlerini birleştiren, çok ilginç bir konsept. Bir yandan canavarlarla savaşıyor, diğer yandan oyunun etrafında dönen gizemli ölümleri çözmeye çalışıyorsunuz. Ama Solitaire oynayarak... Oyunda bir ikinci el mağazasında dolaşırken 1995 yılında yayınlanan ama daha sonra şiddet içerdiği bahanesiyle yasaklanıp sırra kadem basan bir oyunu bulan, Will adında bir adamı canlandırıyoruz. Tüm oyun Will'in masaüstünde geçiyor. Çocukken annesi bu oyunu oynamayı yasakladığı için heyecanla CD'yi bilgisayarına takan Will, bir yandan da kız kardeşine mesaj atıp müjdeyi veriyor. Onun gibi bir oyun müptelası olan kardeşi de bu olayı heyecanla karşılıyor ve mesajlar atıp duruyor. Böylece bir yandan Solitaire oynarken, diğer yandan da kız kardeşimizle mesajlaşıyoruz. Oyun zindan keşfi ve Solitaire türlerini çok güzel harmanlamış. 1995 yılının korku oyunlarının estetiğini de başarılı bir şekilde kullanmış. Düşük çözünürlüklü grafikler, düşük renk paleti, kısıtlı animasyonlar... Güzel kotarmışlar. Oyunun Solitaire kısmı iki farklı kısımdan oluşuyor: Bulmacalar ve savaşlar. Bulmaca sekanslarında ekrandaki tüm kartları temizlemeye çalışırken, savaşlardaysa mümkün olabildiğince kartı arka arkaya toplayıp combo sayımızı arttırarak karşımızdaki düşmana hasar vermeye çalışıyoruz. İşin içine jokerler ve mağazadan satın aldığımız elmaslar da eklenince oynanış bayağı bir keyifli hâle geliyor. Ama tabii en nihayetinde bir Solitaire oyunu bu. O yüzden çok da büyük bir derinliği yok. Hikâyesi korkunç olmayı denese de bunu pek başardığı söylenemez. Sonu da oldukça tahmin edilebilir. Ama iyi/kötü sonu görmek için tüm oyunu baştan oynamamaya mecbur bırakmaması, savaşların ve bulmacaların nispeten kolay olması ve 8-9 saatte bitmesi gibi artıları sayesinde sinir bozucu bir deneyim değil de eğlenceli bir bağımsız olarak akılda yer etmeyi de başarıyor. Artılar: + Solitaire ve zindan keşfi temalarının başarılı bir karışımı + 90'lı yılların korku oyunu estetiği + Aşırı mantıksız zorluklarının olmaması Eksiler: - Sonu çok tahmin edilebilir - Karşımıza çıkan her eylem için bir el kart oynamak bazılarını sıkabilir Not: 7/10 Daha fazla incelememe göz atmak isterseniz Steam Küratör sayfamı ziyaret edebilirsiniz: Pikselatör

This game feels like it should be a roguelite but it's definitely not. It's a VN where you play a whacky version of solitaire to find your way through a 90s videogame dungeon and to fight enemies in solitaire duels with magic jokers. Has a pretty linear / expected upgrade path for you. Great ambiance, very early 90s PC game.

I remember my parents telling me about the media frenzy when this 1995 classic hit the store shelves. People love to talk about how indie games "clone" each other, with survivorslikes and roguelike deckbuilders all that, but even back in the 90's, games were copying each other! I mean, clearly, Heartblade Interactive released this game to capitalize on how much people loved Microsoft Solitaire. I mean, Forbidden Solitaire didn't release until 5 years later, but hey, game development took awhile back then, and besides, have you SEEN the graphics? That must've took forever! With all that being said I think somethings off with my copy of the game... Jokes aside, this game is actually pretty great! They did a really great job capturing the themes and atmosphere, with great music and sound effects backing up spooky visuals. Speaking of which, they manage to make things look really cool while maintaining that 1990's-CGI-Style for the environments, which really makes it feel like a game made before higher-end graphics became trivial, as if the developers were pushing old software and tech to its limits rather than purposefully creating lower-quality graphics. The lighting looks fantastic, and the game manages to both have horror-themed visuals while also being very colorful, resulting in things looking both scary and pretty at the same time. Now for the thing you're probably most curious about: The gameplay. At first glance, it looks like a more "normal" game of solitaire: You have a pile cards in front of you, a deck, and a face-up card next to the deck. Click a card that's a rank directly above or below the face-up card to put it on top of it, repeat until you can't anymore, then flip a new one on top from the deck. Repeat until you've removed all the cards from the pile (winning) or you run out of cards in the deck and can't stack any more on your face-up card (losing). Carefully choosing which cards you stack when given multiple choices (as some may be blocking more cards below them and so on) adds a strategy element, and will help determine whether you win or lose. Now, if you're already a Solitaire fan, that might seem good enough. However, you may be questioning if this game is for you if you don't normally play Solitaire (or do, but need more gameplay variance before you're willing to spend money on another Solitaire game). Fortunately for you, Forbidden Solitaire adds more gameplay elements that help keep things fresh and exciting, regardless of how much of a Solitaire player you are! First, there's the Joker cards, which are cards that you put into special "Joker Slots" instead of your face-up pile when you take them. They can be used to do various things that I wont spoil here, but just know they have a good variety of Jokers with their own effects, and the game has mechanics to encourage you to use them (such as having limited Joker slots), so if you have a tendency to hoard items in games you play, the game helps nudge you into actually using your cool stuff! Second, the game has a mana system. If you chain together enough cards without drawing a new one from the deck, you build up a combo, which fills your mana meter. When it's full, you can cast a "Mana Storm" that destroys up to 4 cards from the pile in front of you, helping you clear the board faster. If used in combat, It also deals a damage to your opponent for each card destroyed this way. This mechanic rewards you for playing well and chaining together many cards, which feels great! ...By this point, you may be asking "Eric, what do you mean 'In Combat'?", which brings me to my third game-changing mechanic: Combat stages! While the game does have your standard 'clear the board before you run out of cards in your deck' levels, it also has about as many levels where you're faced off against an opponent! During these, you deal damage to your opponent for each card you stack before needing to flip one over from your deck (ending your turn). This lowers your opponents life, which you need to get to 0 to win. Instead of winning you the stage, clearing the board in combat stages just sets a new pile of cards in front of you. Your opponent, instead of also playing solitaire, has an action they take after you've ended your turn and dealt them damage, which can be your standard 'deal damage to you' sort of thing (as you have your own life, and lose if the opponent brings you to 0!), but can also be things that mess with the cards to make things harder, or protect the opponent to make you less effective at killing them! Before I conclude this review, I want to also praise a couple more things I didn't get to mention earlier. First, the game has some FMV cutscenes, and they are fantastic! More games should have FMV cutscenes, and in this game, they're just one of several things that benefit from the excellent writing! All the dialogue, narration, etc. was a treat to listen to/read! And while I don't usually mention this sort of thing, I wanted to say that seeing the marketing stuff for this game was also really fun, and did a good job hyping me up for it! They made 'gaming magazine' style promotional images, had a whole thing where someone had stuff happen to them after playing the game, and some other cool stuff too! Overall, whether you like Solitaire, horror games, 90's computer games, or any interest at all in anything about this game, I'd recommend you go for it and get your hands on it whenever you can! While far from necessary to have fun with the game, I'd also like to say that it's even better if you turn the lights off for maximum spookiness! Just be careful, for any round of Solitaire in this game... could be your last!

Кто бы мог подумать, что игра в солитер может стать настолько увлекательной! С баффами, боссами, сюжетом... До такого надо еще додуматься. И это все в стилистике игр из 90-х с элементами VHS хоррора. Единственный минус это цена, сама же игра проходится довольно быстро.

The aesthetic (art/sound) is good. Unfortunately the solitaire itself is bad. There is no real strategy beside "click the cards you're allowed to click and reroll/use spell if no more cards to click". The "combat" is basically an illusion due to the lack of depth. Basic Klondike solitaire has more strategy (variations on counting cards in a 52 card deck). I was hoping for a fun take on solitaire but it was instead a bad take.

Meh, not worth it. Its a decent game, but I got tired of the same card game over and over. Its trying to be similar to Inscryption, but is nowhere near as good. They try to make the story scary and interesting but just ends up kinda falling flat in the end. There was a few times, where I just kept getting back cards drawn resulting in multiple retries for the basic non-combat encounters. This was just plain annoying. The shop and currency system seems pointless too. You just buy whatever shows up in the store every time something shows up. There is no strategy to this. There are no decisions to make in the game, you just get carried along to the end and keep playing the same card game. The whole 90s PC game aesthetic is nice to see, but thats about it.

super fun romp for people of a certain age who used to get spooked by games they saw in magazines

This is an absolute banger. Immaculate vibes. They went all-in on the 90's horror CD-ROM aesthetic and completely nailed it. People complaining about the story or gameplay in the reviews are missing the fact that this is a vibes-based experience which the gameplay and story are there to support, not the other way around. Not to say that either the story or the gameplay are bad (they're both very good IMO!), but they're here to do a job and that job is putting funky 3D models of dead wizards and guys with messed up heads and goofy FMV sequences on my screen while rompler synths play in the background, which they do a perfect job of. The gameplay is fun, with what I would call a "pretty chill but definitely not free to win" difficulty level, and the story hits the haunted game beats I'd expect with a good twist or two. If you're here strictly for the gameplay or strictly for the story concept with no interest in the vibe or aesthetic of the game this is probably not the game for you (go play Balatro or The Stanley Parable or something ya big nerd). If you're here for a very neat 6 hour interactive experience with some laid back gameplay and a fun story, hit Add to Cart. Also, I experienced some of the crashing issues other folks were mentioning here at first, but it would appear I was dealing with a Certified 14th-gen Intel Moment rather than any problem with the game itself; if you're having issues and also have a Raptor Lake chipset try disabling hyperthreading in BIOS. I had zero crashes in 3 hours after changing that.
