VGChartz's Evan Norris: "The Japanese independent developer Inti Creates has been in the industry for a long time, and made a lot of outstanding games. The great majority of those games have been 2D pixel-art action-platformers in the mold of Mega Man, Castlevania, and other classic NES-era franchises. In a bid to step outside of its comfort zone, the studio decided to tackle an entirely new genre with the upcoming Card-en-Ciel. With its card-collection gameplay, role-playing mechanics, and rogue-like tendencies, the game represents an exciting departure from the status quo."
