Love BELLE, but...
UGH.
This looks complicated.

1) Change preferences:

2) Autosave system... hmm....

3)Definitely looks complicated:

4) Oh dear and fluffy lord, does belle expect us to purchase booster packs? Does that involve real money???

5) Fuck my life.

Yesterday evening I played for a couple of hours the card game. I found it too difficult, especially for the casuals.

You did play on the easiest difficulty level, right? That one is designed to allow plenty of room for mistakes and experimentation withour requiring any fancy cards. If you're immediately heading for the higher difficulties, know that they are intended for people with upgraded decks. You're not just supposed to dive straight into it. Winning on what I consider the "default" difficulty level (Challenging) is extremely difficult if you're just using the default deck, even for experienced players. Keep this in mind. I believe the tutorial tells you this too.

Ignore that screen. You're not really supposed to interact with it until you get very deep into the game and start running out of new cards to pull from booster packs. When that happens, you start getting booster points that can be used to upgrade to packs where you might still be missing cards. There is absolutely no reason for you to engage with that screen until you've played for a good, long while, and it probably won't survive the transition to the eventual final game. I considered hiding the booster screen until you start getting points, but I haven't entirely settled on whether or not I should do so. It might be a good idea.

And no, there won't be any microtransactions in this game. Everything is earned with in-game currency ONLY. End of discussion.

Also: if you find the card game to be so daunting, may I suggest ticking the "Pure VN Mode" box in the preferences? That way you won't see the card game at all.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one with Palpatine-levels of interests. I freaking loved Long Live the Princess. Not sure how long the actual card game will keep me interested, though, so might wait for a bit more "content" content.
