Mahokenshi Reviews
An interesting deck-building card game with not much content and boring maps to explore. Basic gameplay is nice and the four heroes are different enough to let players experiment a bit.

Mahokenshi is a visually eye-catching and mechanically solid entry into the big world of deckbuilder games and brings in a mixture of elements that will appeal to not just card/deckbuilder fans, but people who also enjoy board games.
I really couldn’t fault Mahokenshi. For me, it sits firmly in the midground of deck builder titles. It isn’t difficult to pick up and the mechanics are easily understood. At the same time, it is also not as in-depth as some of the other titles currently on the market. This makes it really easy to pick up and enjoy from the start, it is pretty much self-explanatory after the tutorial. It provides various gameplay elements and customisation if that’s what you are looking for, but it’s also just a pickup-and-play. I award Mahokenshi a Thumb Culture Platinum Award.
Those that love Mahokenshi will adore the fully realised blend of deck-building and digital board game, but will forget the threadbare mythological Southeast Asian theming.
