An unusual, strategic RPG card game from the makers of Shadowhand and Regency Solitaire.
"Awakening from centuries of slumber, a fallen mage returns to battle twisted folkloric foe across sprawling, ghostly landscapes. His ultimate destination: the nameless antagonist, a dread nemesis waiting patiently in the dark fastness of monstrous citadel, his Ancient Enemy.
You'll embark upon a quest inspired by British mythology and Mabinogion, so expect card battling, visceral fights, mixed with bleak and evocative folklore! Loot the fallen to fill your hero's RPG-style inventory with collectible cards, capture strongholds and gather talented henchmen. Only powerful magic and iron determination will enable revenge upon your ultimate foe."

Review anarchistica 2/5 · Jul 9, 2022
Basically just Shadowhand 2
Playtime: 1h32m
Review
Ancient Enemy is almost the exact same game as Shadowhand. You go from encounter to encounter playing a game that is a mix of Solitaire and Mahjong. The setting is different and there's a map with nodes that sometimes lets you pick which one you want to do first but that's it.
Seriously, every point i made …

Seriously, every point i made in my review of Shadowhand still stands. It's overly random, offers very little actual choice and has a frustrating scoring system (beat enemy before turn x for perfect score). Sometimes you struggle and barely win after 9 turns. Sometimes you beat the exact same enemy on turn 2. It's just frustrating nonsense.
[PS: Wow, my last review was back in April!]
