If there's one thing Xbox fans have been clamoring for, it's a weird RPG / card / board game hybrid ... thing. Enter Culdcept Saga from Namco. The game has players rolling dice and battling enemies with magical cards that contain magical beasts. Sound appealing? Good. You might want to grab the demo off of Xbox Live Marketplace, because it's up right now, at this very moment. We're going to be giving it a try for the sheer uniqueness of it all. Expect a report later today. In the meantime, feel free to issue your own right here.

Is this seriously supposed to be a retail game? Looks like the arcade could do this game with ease.

I played the previous Culdcept game on the PS2 and it was a lot of fun. If you're into tactical rpgs or card-battle games, definitely give it a try.

I'm def excited to try it . . . although these games are always just a mess. The only card game that came for xbox was Yugi, and there was no story. But it was still fun, even though I still dont know why . . .

The PS2 game was awesome, so I have high hopes for this one. Definitely not for the average Halo and Madden Xbox junkie, but I am all about quirky games.

I actually really enjoyed the demo. Once I got used to what was going on, I thought it was a lot of fun. It's kind of like a simple form of Magic the Gathering combined with Monopoly.
Sure, it's not pushing 3D to new heights, but some of the 2D artwork is quite good. There's not much to really compare to this on the 360 and it's nice to see expanding options on the system.
I might consider it depending on what the price is. Hopefully it's budget like it should be.

It's $40. I've had it preordered from Amazon since September 7th (the first day they were taking preorders for it). I was on the inform list for months before that.

Culdcept on the PS2 was easily one of the most underappreciated games of the last generation. I just hope this one is as good as that one.

Played the Demo through about four times... Wish the Demo was more difficult, but I can't wait for this game... Though I really agree with "ccc" this sure could be an XBLA game. Still, I love it.

I didnt think I would like this type of game, but after playing the demo a few times and getting the hang of it, I started to really like it. Now i need 40 bux.
