August 16Aug 16 I just played a card game where I had to SCREAM "Fwoosh Bah" into my mic to cast a fireball. I think I woke up my cat.Has anyone else tried Chant Wizard? It's this weird indie card duel game from a small Chinese team. I grabbed the free demo on Steam because the trailer looked ridiculous, and... it's actually really good?The premise is simple: you build a deck from 5 elements, then duel 1v1 in real-time. But here's the catch — to cast ANY spell, you literally have to speak the incantation into your microphone. The game listens to you. If you whisper, the spell is weak. If you shout, it's strong. And your opponent HEARS you.I just spent 20 minutes shouting "It fly ya cluck cluck cluck" at my monitor to turn someone into a chicken. My roommate knocked on my door to ask if I was okay.The voice recognition is surprisingly solid. The card combos are actually deep — there's an interrupt system where you can break someone's big spell with a fast one if you time it right. And the spell effects are honestly gorgeous for an indie game.
