"Calculords! Card Masters of Outer Space" is a Card Battle Game developed by Ninja Crime Studios and released for mobile devices such as Android and iOS. It was also created by Seanbaby. You read that right.Sometime in the early 30th century, a cosmic menace known as HATE BIT came and destroyed the Earth. Humanity is scattered among the stars, but with few options on how to avenge the Earth's destruction. That's where the player comes in. You are the last Star Nerd, a Calculords battler who must fight his way across the galaxy, defeating stronger and stronger opponents, getting new cards, and improving your deck, until you can finally put an end to HATE BIT.Battles are conducted in the Calculords system. The playing field consists of three lanes where you can deploy your cards, each with 19 spaces in them—nine for you, nine for the opponent, and a single neutral square in the middle. Due to "space treachery", the AI always goes first. There are three card types: Offense units (red), which are typically the heavier hitters; Push units (green), which can push enemies back and away from your base (and into their own, destroying them), and Tactics (purple), which are one-offs that have numerous effects that disappear after use. The Shadow Nerd update added a fourth type, Structure units (blue), which don't advance but can't be pushed. In addition, there's three unit types, Soldiers, Mutates, and Vehicles, and many abilities only affect one of the three types.All units have AP and HP—attack points and hit points. Various buffs, nerfs, and direct damage can alter any one of these traits, and when a unit loses all its HP, it disintegrates into a slab of meat (even the vehicles). To deploy a card, you have to match is numerical value. To do that, you punch in numbers generated at random in your Star Calculator. (though through whatever numbers you choose when building your deck). If you use all your numbers, you generate a Calculords Bonus, which gives you a fresh set of numbers to use the rest of the cards in your hand; doing so twice gets you a Double Calculords Bonus but no third set of numbers. And should you use all of your cards in a turn, you get a Star Nerd Bonus. Once you are satisfied with your turn, can't deploy anything else, you tap "Fight!" (or the fight starts automatically if you use all your cards or numbers in a single turn) and they charge forward fournote ten if they have Double-Time steps. Upon contact with enemy units, the attackers shoot at the defenders, or at the base, if they're close enough. When a player's base HP reaches 0, they lose.So what this means is that the fate of the universe and what's left of humanity rests in the hands of basic arithmetic and card games. Talk about your Serious Business.A sequel, Calculords 2, was announced on the game's Facebook page on January 2, 2016, with a Kickstarter going to secure funding. This was sadly not successful, however it is still said to be under development "with no set timetable." Some of the sequel's soundtrack can be found on YouTube. In October of 2020, the original game was removed from app stores, making it unavailable to buy or download again.Tropes include: | |
