Voice of Belldona was sent my way by Okasan’s Recipe, which I always appreciate when someone new reaches out to me. They seem to work with a lot of anime-inspired games, which is pretty cool to see. Now, on the surface, Voice of Belldona looks like any other card battle builder you have seen. In many ways, it is. You will add or remove cards from your deck, make your way around a map, and fight battles with the usual array of enemies, ranging from soldiers to cult members, to giant iron golems, and much more.
The real question with these roguelite deckbuilders at this point isn’t how they are the same; they all have things in common, and if you played one, you understand how to play them all. You really need to ask, what, if anything, does Voice of Belldona do differently or better than the dozens of others? First, the artwork is amazing, and the music did not need to go as hard as it did when the game cost $12, but when the boss battles kicked in, I found myself getting into it more than I probably should have.
The story itself is also above many of these games I have played. I won’t spoil it for you, but suffice it to say, finally, the world is ending, and the person trying to fix it is the one who rightfully should be trying to fix it. No randomly chosen hero here, just a family squabble amongst gods, it seems.
Last but not least, the battles are hard to describe because there are different deck styles and characters to pick. You can summon allies to help, but depending on your character, you might be using shields, so you can pick your moment to strike while inflicting burns. You might be skipping shields altogether to save energy for brutal combos to win fights fast.
There are some minor issues, some I experienced, some I have seen others reporting. For example, there was an issue with changing language options, forcing the game to close suddenly. I also noticed some minor slowdowns randomly, despite my system more than meeting the specs recommended, and there didn’t really seem to be any reason for it. Sometimes it was when there was a ton going on, sometimes I was simply in a menu. These were few and far between, and for an early access title, it was at a more than acceptable level. There are hours of game to be enjoyed in Voice of Belldona; it is an 8/10 title you would be more than happy with. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
