What Makes Tacape Stand Out
Tacape is a deck-builder card game with roguelite elements for those who love a tactical challenge. Take part in a series of combats, build your strategy, upgrade your cards and face folkloric creatures along the way!
Be careful! Enemies can switch between positions and will be intent on hindering you in various ways during combat. You will have to manipulate the battlefield, understand the behavior of each enemy, and make smart moves to win every battle: there are countless strategies' opportunities!
Buy and upgrade your cards at the shop, get new abilities with the artifact, heal yourself at the campfire and fight bosses in a Brazilian folk universe!
Tacape is "free-to-try", an in-app purchase is required to unlock the full game.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The mechanics for this are deceptively simple, building up to make lots of interesting choices and playstyle. We like how the two characters have very different feels and each has their own varied styles to play. The game is very challenging, Ive only gotten to the final chapter a couple times and only with one character, but its been quite fun (challenge is a feature of roguelite/like games). Our biggest gripe is that it clearly was translated into English and a handful of the cards can be challenging to understand due to some strange translation choices. There are a few mechanics that are confusing until you play them a few times to figure out what the card text means or you identify its patterns. For example the duration of abilities or how often they trigger isnt always clear. It makes it seem inconsistent, but we suspect this would be remedied by more clear card text. Overall a fun little game worth the $4 to unlock the full game. We hope they add more cards, characters, or play modes in the future.
The artifact Eternal Shield is not working properly for us. It says retain shield between turns, but its only letting us keep 10 shield at maximum. Also the artifact Takeaway Meal isnt working. Overall its a fun game, very good looking. But a lot of balance issues with combat in the current build of the game.
Nice and simple game to understand and play, excellent choice.
Its a nice, well designed rouge like deck builder. Feels good to play, and has a nice variety of cards Not sure why someone would rate this 1 star. The developer lets you play the first part of the campaign for free, and if you like it you can buy the full campaign for $2. There are two campaigns, so $4 is the maximum you would pay, which is less than you would pay for other games like this.
We purchased both campaigns. Even after the purchase, the game is a bit difficult. When you have to depend on certain cards like shield cards to come from the draw deck,and they dont show up, you lose easily. We have played through about 6 times and cant get past area 2. Now we are having trouble getting out of area 1. Enemies are over powered. We tried a different combination of cards, but still lose. We get its a challenge, but shouldnt be impossible.
It crashes directly after we collect the first card after the first tutorial battle, the concept is good and the cards are interesting though.
This games monetization feels predatory. It doesnt show how much the things cost in game.
We have played every deck building game we find since Dream Quest first came out years ago. The market has become so saturated that its difficult to find ones that do anything new. This adds a simple but fun mechanic where the enemies move around on a grid. Its not just a gimmmick. It does affect what cards you can play and how you plan moves. The character Lucas has very interesting mechanics we havent seen before where cards will add fear. This is negative because it forces you to discard a card every move you make, but it also makes cards you use more powerful (such as repeating their effect for every few levels of fear you have). Its different enough that Im happy to come back to it rather than playing once or twice then going back to Slay the Spire. As to the review complaining you only get to play one level for free, the only in app purchase in the game is to get the whole thing for $3.99. Its not as if its some freemium game that you pay to win. You get to try it and buy if you like. We recommend buying it.
We love roguelites and this a gem in the App Store. The only change we would want is an option for faster animations.
Like we said in the title, you can only access one character, you have to buy the other one and you can only play the first level for free before you HAVE TO buy to continue. Very greedy scheme. We do want to say, however, that it is a decent game to play and ran rather smooth (for us at least).
