Card Hunter: Old-school D&D and tactics meet for a stellar game (review)

I can’t remember the last time I changed my mind on a game as I have on Card Hunter.

After playing this browser-based card-collecting role-playing game (a free-to-play game coming Sept. 12 from developer Blue Manchu) for a couple of weeks, I was enjoying it, but I considered it as unremarkable. But the more I played, the more I discovered this free-to-play game’s tactical choices and depth. And it’s all wrapped up in a retro package that’s part joke, part homage to old Dungeons & Dragons modules, some of the most cherished dungeon crawls ever written.
