Culdcept SAGA combines the strategy of a board game with the depth of a trading card game to create a unique fusion
of traditional turn-based play. There was a demo available on
Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Gold members which even allowed players to have a go at the game's multiplayer mode. It also featured a single player mode, of course.
Gameplay is rather simple in Culdcept Saga, but that doesn't mean you'll get bored playing. You see, by "simple" we mean that the rules are basic enough to make you want to play immediately, but as soon as you move around the game board and attempt to claim ownership of land squares, all this while battling enemy monsters, you'll see that it takes more than one try to succeed. And if you do... you get the almighty game score points!
