In the world of gaming, rifts are usually a bad omen. However, Avid Games has embraced this concept with Eerie Worlds, their highly anticipated follow-up to Cards, the Universe and Everything. While retaining the fun and educational elements of its predecessor, Eerie Worlds plunges players into a world of monsters emerging from these very rifts.
Avid Games has crafted a visually stunning array of monsters, each inspired by real-world creatures from mythology and folklore. The game boasts an impressively diverse roster, encompassing Japanese Yokai (like Jikininki and Kuchisake-onna), Slavic monsters (such as Vodyanoy and Psoglav), and a global menagerie including Bigfoot, Mothman, the Nandi Bear, El Chupacabra, and countless others. Each card features detailed, well-researched descriptions, enriching the gameplay experience with educational value.
Eerie Worlds features four Alliances (Grimbald, Zerrofel, Rivin, and Synnig) and multiple Hordes, creating intricate tactical depth through varying monster properties. Players build their personal monster collection, known as a Grimoire, which can be upgraded by merging duplicate cards. The game launches with 160 base cards, with many more accessible through merging and additional cards planned for future releases. Avid Games has confirmed two more Hordes are coming within the next couple of months, ensuring continued gameplay evolution.
Gameplay involves strategic deck building (nine monster cards and one world card), followed by nine intense 30-second turns. Players must carefully manage mana, exploit synergies, and make crucial decisions under pressure. With its considerable depth, Eerie Worlds demands immediate attention.
