    Honestly this deserves way higher, the deduction system alone justifies the ranking for me.

    The deduction system got me hooked too, I still remember the first time three deaths clicked at once in my head.

    I played it during a rainy week off and barely left my desk the whole time.

    Funny how it keeps crossing paths with Ocarina in these duels, two completely different eras of design.

    I remember pausing every five minutes just to double check a face against the ship log.

    Cinq minutes par visage, ça sent le joueur qui prend le jeu au sérieux, et ça mérite sa place à mon avis.

    Est-ce qu'un jeu a vraiment besoin d'être long pour marquer les esprits sur ce site ? Celui-là prouve le contraire chaque fois qu'il grimpe.

    En mi caso ni siquiera fue la duración, fue que abandoné dos capítulos sin entender nada y ya no volví.

    Sé que no soy objetiva porque me marcó bastante, pero un juego que no necesita horas para quedarse en la memoria ya ha ganado algo, y eso cuenta en cualquier ranking.

    Il tient tête à des mastodontes comme Ocarina of Time dans les duels, ça mérite du respect.

    Deux à s'arracher les cheveux, ou plutôt à se les partager, nous on jouait plutôt en silence complet chacun son tour.

    Replying to Pons39

    two ships passing in the night in every duel list and yet nobody agrees which one wins

    Pons39

    Chez moi personne n'a eu ce souci, on s'est plutôt arraché les cheveux à deux sur les visages qui se ressemblaient trop.
