Black Book RPG is a card game that mixes in elements of a role-playing adventure game. This game from HypeTrain Digital focuses heavily on its plot, which takes inspiration from Slavic mythology. You will have the opportunity to explore a vast map and battle against monsters with your own mythical creatures.

Much like other card games, like Magic: The Gathering Arena, Black Book RPG enables players to collect a number of cards that they can upgrade and use in a variety of settings. Players will also be able to earn more skills by winning battles and progressing through the plot.

Immerse yourself in a well-built world

Black Book RPG is highly acclaimed for its immersive storytelling and fleshed-out world. In addition to the excitement of having to engage in card battles, you’ll also be able to enjoy the numerous quests and side stories that allow you to uncover hidden secrets through pieces of lore that you can uncover little by little. There are even numerous possible endings that you can reach.

All of this is presented in a stunning 3D format that allows you to better step into the shoes of Vasilisa, the main character. While certain aspects of the lore can be quite slow-paced and confusing, especially for those who are unfamiliar with Slavic mythology, the game offers a helpful encyclopedia that allows you to learn more about the various folk tales incorporated into the game’s plot.

As already mentioned, there is a large variety of cards that you can collect, with varying tiers, as well. Take note that your decisions can also impact the types of cards you’ll be able to collect—so make sure to think twice about your actions. However, the game could use some improvement when it comes to the graphics jumping from one frame to another.

Make the right decisions

With so many ways to experience the plot—especially with a variety of possible endings—Black Book RPG allows you to curate your own in-game experience based on your own decisions and actions. While some players can feel overwhelmed by the extensive and lore-heavy plot, there’s still the aspect of the card battle for you to look forward to. Just remember that your choices can determine the cards that you can obtain.
