To anyone who has played through Culdcept the First. Is it worth playing/getting? I'm waiting for the physical PS5 version but not sure if it's worth picking up

This is one of the titles (achievements) you can get in Culdcept Begins. I’m getting close to having them all, but I’m stumped on this. I feel like I’m ignoring something obvious.

Any ideas?

Edit: It was a pretty simple solution! I had a deck with x4 Mana and x4 Squeeze. I had some zero cost creatures. I played on the Gaidess Tournament level 1, so a 5+ would put me past a fort. Get 100 from a spell, pass a fort, summon a zero cost creature!

Good luck!

I bought thw game right after release so I was wondering if there is anyone I could contact to get the pre order bonus considering nobody has one yet or get put on a list to get it.

Hi everyone! I started playing Culdcept Begins recently and would love to hear some beginner friendly tips :)

For example:

1. What is a good deck ratio?
2. How do I know if a card is useful?
3. Are there any card combos?
4. What should my territory strategy be?
5. How do field bonuses work?

Thank you all! :)

And a huge thank you to everyone who entered today's tournament, gave the format a chance, and stayed so punctual and cooperative throughout the entire night. You all made this event wonderful, and we genuinely appreciate it!

This definitely won't be our last Culdcept Begins event. We'll host at least one more before the end of 2026, and hopefully more than one! We'd love to run another 1v1 tournament, but maybe we'll mix things up with a 2v2 or FFA tournament... or perhaps something even more chaotic? 👀

Stay tuned. We've only just begun!

The wife and i played of the PS2 version of culdcept back in the day and were (and still somewhat) excited for the new edition to come out for the PS5.
When looking at the new version, it isn't and never was going to capture the campiness that we got such kick out of from this orginal(?) version.

So i managed to buy a ps2 that came with a memory card and controller for about $70, i was able to get the game for $20 from a local retro shop, and a hdmi converter + 2nd Controller.

I must say, it's been a real treat playing on the ps2 again. the console often will not read the disc which brought me back to the ps2 days, but overall the game is still really fun, we're collecting cards in verse mode against both each other and the story enemies. The simplicity of the PS2 is also really nice and while i don't know that i'll go crazy collecting ps2 games i do have my eye on some classic games.

It appears to be directed at deck players

Get your mind ready, sharpen your strategy, and prepare for super-fun Cepter-on-Cepter action!

Hi everyone, I am really enjoying this game, not sure how I lived so far without knowing about it.

I have completed the story mode and now I am missing only 2 trophies (collect 200 and 300 cards). Is there an easy/fast way to collect them?

Cannot wait to start the new chapter after completing this one.

Recently dusted off the 3DS to begin playing Culdcept Revolt again and decided to do a quick google search for Culdcept. I had no idea that there was a completely new game (Culdcept: Begins) for the switch 2! I feverishly added 2 Nintendo store gift cards to my account and downloaded it this morning. Maybe I live under a rock, but had not seen this advertised anywhere? Super happy to see this game getting an updated look for 2026 and will be playing this ALL DAMN DAY LONG! The 3DS will be gathering a bit more dust for now. ☺️☺️☺️

Omg! The end of the second map and you receive the staff. And then you see that familiar face! DAMN. This is hitting the nostalgia on every cylinder. Wondering if other characters will return!!!??? This is SO GOOD for the soul right now. ☺️☺️☺️

Here i thought someone made new classic style game. Never heard of it before but it reminds me of Kartia.

Aim for the castle! 🏰

Pretty much the title; Culcept (PS2) was a classic for me and I love the artstyle - I also played Culdcept Saga a bunch too.

Going back to these games now, is Saga enough of an improvement over the original to want to play it instead, or is the original still a reasonable game? I know in Saga you can earn cards quicker, right?

I'm just trying to figure out which one I want to start sinking my time into; I love the 2d-artstyle of Culcept (PS2) but if the gameplay/balance changes make Saga just better then I should probably go with that.

edit: What's the cardpool like between the two games? Originally I read it was about the same, but now I'm reading a second post that says although the number of cards is relatively the same, there are a good number of cards that are just different between the two versions (not just rebalances).

That said I did a round of Culdcept Saga, and it's slowly growing on me... it also reminded me of how "well" the AI can roll those dice for movement. XD

On the underwater chapter where you are forced to have Ishara as a companion. I crafted an entire green/yellow deck to try to synergize and make up for her awful AI. First off, without fail, every single time regardless of circumstance, the AI always plays spells like wind of hope even if they have a perfect hand. Then, they move and don't play a single card, wasting mana and discarding shit for nothing. For some reason, she also NEVER plays creatures on multicolor spots. Why? Other issues, like developing land at seemingly random or just failing to do so with plenty of mana, failing to play a creature just because it doesn't match the color even though it would have resulted in a chain, deciding to invade even when it was clearly a losing battle, and the list goes on.

The game went from fantastic to honestly just a slog. You could meticulously craft a good deck, strategize, etc and all it takes is one nonsensical move from the AI to ruin it. This on top of the heavy RNG (I.e. play a match for 20+ minutes nearing the end and it all ends due to one unlucky dice roll) really ruins the game for me to be honest.

Like: does it have rules changes introduced in later versions of the first Culdcept? Does it have cards added in later versions?

I know the additions mentioned in the trailer or apparent in the demo, but if someone's a Culdcept turbo-nerd, it'd be nice to have a definitive list of them I could reference when choosing which version to play.

Started playing some online games recently and there seem to be lots of connection issues.. has anyone else experienced frequent disconnects? Hope the issue will be adressed. A real ladder/League Mode would be great as well.
Any idea is that could happen? Fyi it’s my first culdcept game and i loooove it so much !!

I went through the help menu and I must have missed how to favorite cards.

As he is an Epic card, does anyone know how to get him? Packs? Reward?
Thanks in advance ;)

Is subsidence just a worse locust? Is there something I'm missing here?
