Neverland Card Battles is ultimately a flawed title with promise held deep within its clutches, waiting for the right person to grasp at it tightly enough. Who is that person, you ask? It's going to take the proper combination of strategically-minded, card-obsessed determination to break through these walls, but it can be done.
Shadow writes "Originally released on PS2 in Japan only, Cardinal Arc offers a second life on PSP, and enjoy this time a french release (as well as a new name). This hybrid between the T-RPG and Card Game fate at a reduced price for the occasion, and at the same time as the Japanese version, thanks to the emerging society of Yuke's Company of America. Neverland Card Battles is up to the expectations, or is it a game without interest?

GI writes: "Listening to NPR recently, I was reminded of an old saying regarding the ways of war: "Amateurs study tactics; professionals study logistics." This phrase stayed with me while I was playing NeverLand Card Battles. The game itself is a blend of a collectable card games such as Pokemon or Magic the Gathering and a tactical role-playing game such as Final Fantasy Tactics."
Gamepro: "Neverland Card Battles is one baffling game. While this title has all the basic fundamentals of a decent card-based tactical RPG (large battlegrounds, complex combat rules, and so on), they actually make one really terrible game when they're all put together. With a bland story, bad voice acting, and one of the most annoying tactical systems I've seen in an RPG, I can't recommended this game for anyone but fans of this niche series."
