Reviews Summary

Players are divided on The Curse Of Mantras, praising its beautiful art, diverse cast, and engaging card gameplay, especially on higher difficulties.

First, the pros: -The art is very pretty. It definitely has the highest production value of Winter Wolves games. The backgrounds are gorgeous, and for the most part the characters are attractive. (Then you get to poor Ash. I think the artist spent too much time making his abs perfect and not enough time on his face.) -The music is great. -The main plot …

One of the better Winter Wolves games. A diverse cast of romanceable characters (male and female), choice of gender, an original and mysterious setting, plus a really fun card game that's actually challenging if playing on hard difficulty.

So I'll admit that the 'everyone's dead' genre is not one I particularly enjoy, but I've played almost all of Winter Wolves' games, and have liked all of them, so I wanted to give this a try.

About this game

About This Game

The Curse Of Mantras is a dating sim with optional card battler gameplay.

You play as either Lily or Ace, and you wake up in a strange supernatural world known as the Afterlife. A strange man, Mantras, greets you and introduces you to the world's rules and your companions.

Your companions are other dead people that represent an avatar of one of the four elements: water, fire, air, earth, and one of the two arcana: life and death.

Lily and Ace are the avatars of death. The most powerful avatar, the only one who has the power to activate a strange device, a music box, which can make them remember their past lives, and most importantly, why and how the died.

Each companion has an alignment: Order or Chaos. Lily or Ace (depending who you play as) will choose between one of the two alignments and form a team that will fight the opposite team until all the battles have been won and the memories have been remembered.

Even if this is the Afterlife and everyone is dead, there's love to be found in this place. Each companion except the opposite avatar of death can be romanced, for a total of 10 love interests, each one with at least 2 romance CG scenes!

The Curse Of Mantras offers an optional but detailed card collecting game, featuring over 120 cards: 72 unique creatures and 60 different spells, divided based on element/arcana and alignment.
