In the last decade, few if not no video games ever captured the essence of Yu-Gi-Oh! except for Yu-Gi-Oh!. Well, developer Yfrit Games attempts to capture its essence with their latest game Primateria. Despite taking heavy inspiration from Yu-Gi-Oh! the game is able to steer away from being a complete rip-off of the popular card game. Primateria establishes its own unique cards, artstyle, systems and mechanics, allowing it to be a completely unique card game on its own. And aside from the roguelike aspect of the game, it also showcases some interesting card mechanics like its infinite fusion that lets you fuse cards infinitely. If you’re looking for a fresh new card game experience then this may be well worth the try.
Primateria released back in the 8th of January and is available for PC via Steam. If you want to try the game out before committing then a free demo is also available.
