    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

Usually though, you’re patiently awaiting your turn, spending a limited amount of energy, and hoping the enemy doesn’t subsequently ruin your plans. Shards of Order, an RPG deckbuilding experience, has other ideas. Instead of

    Case Solved: The London Files Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut Review | TheXboxHub (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

So naturally, I was always going to be intrigued and excited by the release of K-pop Idol Stories: Road to Debut, an idol management sim with RPG elements.
