Lightseekers blurs the line between physical and digital with new card game
Invested fans will get a lot out of this
A few years after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the team at PlayFusion are ready to release the next addition in the Lightseekers world on iOS and Android. It's a digital deck-building card game that works in conjunction with their physical card game. I'll explain.
With the new mobile game, you are able to scan your physical Lightseeker cards and they will appear in the game to be added to your decks and be used in battle against an AI or real person online. It's such a simple but clever idea, I'm surprised I've not seen this feature appear in more card games.
The game plays exactly like the physical card game. You build a deck of 36 cards from 6 different classes all with their own unique traits and abilities. You attack your opponent's hero card until their health falls to zero, crowning you the winner of the game.
PlayFusion could have very easily left the scanning feature out and pushed you towards buying digital packs to make up your favourite decks, but it didn't. No, instead it's letting you keep your money and allowing you to import all of your cards you already own into the game.
It's awfully nice to see when a dev and publisher treat their fans with respect and value the time they've put into their game, while at the same time doing something interesting with this blurring of lines between digital and physical games.
The Lightseekers digital card game is out now and you can download it from the App Store and Google Play for free.
