This is awful. At the core, blackjack is the core of this game. The big problem is that the basic rules of blackjack do not get followed. The cpu should stand on 17 or higher, but will draw a card when they are behind no matter what the cpu or the player has. It is not fun when the player has 19, the cpu has 18, and then draws a 3 or 2 to get a winning hand.
Under no version of blackjack does this ever happen anywhere else but this poorly designed game. The main idea of the game is not implemented properly, and this sets the tone for the rest of the game. You play a hand of blackjack at the start of the game and have to win under these terrible terms. It took 7 times before I was able to win a hand to progress the story.
Did I mention that this game violates all the main rules of blackjack yet? I stayed on a hand with 12, with cpu showing 6. Normally you stay and let the cpu break their hand. First card drawn is a 9, giving 15 so things are looking good. Then it hits me just how horribly this game is designed. The cpu won with the 15!
Get me out.
