Shadowhand Review

Regency Solitaire was one of my games of the year for 2015. It’s a Jane Austen-style love story through which you progress by playing hands of the card game, solitaire. It was easy to sink entire evenings into Regency Solitaire. Shadowhand is a prequel of sorts, following the adventures of one of the characters in her youthful highwaywoman days. The big difference with Shadowhand is that some rounds of solitaire now play out as turn-based duels.

This all obscures the real charm of features Shadowhand retains from Regency Solitaire. You get segments of that absorbing pleasure, but the game kept turning into a grind, losing momentum. That, in turn, recasts the light storytelling (which was a pleasant backdrop in the previous game) as a rather convoluted but shallow plot which I kept losing track of during drawn-out boss fights. The characters here felt more prone to slipping into caricature too.

An interesting conundrum is whether to recommend it to someone who enjoyed Regency Solitaire. I think there’s still fun to be had, and it offers whole chunks of what amounts to more Regency Solitaire levels, but it’s harder to love and sorely in need of some tweaking.

Score: 65/100

An ambitious game but one which exposes and compounds the weaknesses of solitaire.
