"皆さん！ モンスターハンターっていうゲームご存知？"
One of the greatest games in literally years (maybe ever), Arcana of the Tarot, developed by the duo of extremely talented japanese makers: lilly and marimario, invites you in on another unforgettable journey through magically crafted but dangerous worlds of tarot cards, downright Overloaded with some of the most ridiculous and memorable traps that you'll ever see in your life. Um, each stage is represented by a different major arcana (Justice, Magician, et cetera...). The brand new torch gimmick (one of lily's stages) is very cool, although it took me a while to figure out what causes the torch to get extinguished. The game also features fantastic visuals for every stage and every boss (just by watching the intro cutscene of the game, that's how you'll know this is going to be one hell of an experience). But my personal most favorite highlight of the game has got to be the final platforming stage. Playing through this stage I thought I was gonna die since I couldn't contain my laughter for a second. I don't want to spoil anything, because it just incredible, all I'm gonna say about it is that once you make it here to this point... be prepared for anything.. and everything. Um, the final boss of the game is visually stunning as well, but it is significantly more difficult compared to the rest of the game, so as soon as you make it that far, get ready for a serious and nerve wracking challenge. Laur's Universum also fits incredibly well for this epic boss fight. Great pick, lilly!

Phenomenal game. Best traps I've seen in a fangame, singlehandedly. Fun to learn, creative, you name it. Bosses were fantastic, you couldn't ask for more. Visuals were the best I've seen by a massive margin, undescribable. Only thing I wish there was more of was the game. Masterpiece.

A fun game with bright avoidance and fancy traps,I was deeply impressed by the exquisite production of the first and second bosses.I may not be able to beat them, especially when I see the last scene but it's still immortal.

I pretty much agree with Kurath, this game really doesn't feel like it deserves the moniker "trap game". It feels more like playing something like Noesis, where stuff moves around to enforce different movements. The game never tries to be funny, and every trap is very basic moving spikes or blocks. Every stage really feels the same, and the traps all blend together as they're all very similar. Even from a gameplay perspective, it really falls flat, as the traps are to samey for me to enjoy dodging them.
The final stage actually tries to be a trap stage, but none of the jokes were particularly funny, and the saves are obnoxiously long. Every save involved learning like 10 traps, and just dying over and over, everything I hate about this type of trap game.
The final boss is the only part I'd give a solid recommendation, as it's really cool. However, I do think it would benefit from each attack being a bit shorter, because the early attacks become quite a slog, and it gets really frustrating to die to something learny after minutes of playing.
