Not greedy either, I’m more likely to spend money when I feel I don’t have to! They did everything right so far ### 5/5 — Best card battle game. ! *2025-09-07, version 1.702* This game right here, there is none like it, where else can you find Aztec mythology card game in action! From the mythology to the cultural side the details are a MesoAmerican masterpiece. This game keeps giving and I don’t have to Play to win! But because i support everything about this game I invest in purchases on the regular. This is a must have for card battle, card builder, pvp battles, resource collector, side quests and more! Developer don’t pull this game keep it coming, on a side note if these cards ever went physical or nft this would be a hit!!!!! No lie. ### 5/5 — Best card battle game. ! *2025-08-21* This game right here, there is none like it, where else can you find Aztec mythology card game in action!

No lie. ### 4/5 — Master Duel meets Gwent *2025-01-26, version 1.475* That’s a basic general idea that comes to mind when I play this. It’s good but I can’t say it’s amazing. Synergies are bland and there isn’t any real approach to deep deck building. Strategy wise it’s rather boring. If you’re looking for a concept that has potential this is it, but it doesn’t fully reach it. I’d give it 3,5 if possible so I have it a 4. ### 3/5 — Okay TCG, more like Gâcha games *2025-01-01* Being an experienced TCG player (MtG, YGO, Pokémon, etc.) I was very excited when I saw an ad for this game. The core mechanics are enjoyable; though the game is not very well balanced. Some abilities are simply broken, and the only thing preventing you from abusing them is the need to obtain and upgrade the cards. Having a skill that can basically wipe out the opponent’s board for free is too powerful, even if balanced by the creature’s weak level at first. I’ll keep playing, but it kind of just makes me want to play Old School MtG… or a paper version of this with better rules **Developer response:** Hi Pk Archie, thanks for your detailed review. It's true that Legendary creatures are more powerful than others. Be sure to join the Discord if you want to suggest balance changes. Cheers, Midas. ### 5/5 — What a great take on the genre. *2024-12-24, version 1.450* Love the artwork, love the gameplay, love the fact that it feels like a physical game and not an animation-bloated video game. Can’t wait for more content. ### 3/5 — Keep at it *2024-12-22, version 1.405* Atta boy ### 1/5 — Nvm *2024-11-14* Nvm what I said before, this game is boring and nobody plays it ### 1/5 — Datos perdidos *2024-11-01, version 1.380* Juegas al juego, dejas un tiempo sin jugar y regresas y tus datos son borrados. Mejor no perder tu tiempo en este tipo de juegos que tiene mal sistema de guardado. ### 4/5 — Great old school feel *2024-10-17* This game actually takes thought and strategy to win. It does get annoying when the match doesn’t end and you’ve been through your deck like 4 times but there’s a lot of different strategies and card types to choose from. This game is great so far and I love seeing you guys adding live duels too. Thank you and keep up the great work! ## Frequently asked questions about Quetzal ### What kind of game is Quetzal?
