雖然沒能跟著發行商周末一起推出有點可惜，但在獨立遊戲上慧眼獨具的發行商 Devolver Digital，仍在近日公開了新作《王牌卡神》（Card Shark）的發售日期。
這款作品的研發團隊 Nerial，在以前曾推出過大紅大紫的抉擇類遊戲《王權》，這部新作當然也早就成為眾所矚目的焦點。所以趁著正式版還沒有到來，就讓我們先用體驗版一起看看這個作品的玩法，以及它的有趣之處吧！
雖然類型完全不同，但本作就像《刺客教條》、《十字軍之王》等作品一樣有著相當考究的歷史背景。遊戲的舞台建立在大革命前夕的法國，而玩家將扮演一名天賦異稟的啞巴，跟隨一名千術大師，靠賭博在這個亂世中逆天改命。

遊戲中的故事不只是牽扯到路易十五那些知名的情婦史，甚至還將與啟蒙思想家伏爾泰等人接觸，裡面使用的玩笑也都相當有文藝和諷刺氣息，像是「會在賭博中堅持到敗光每一份家產的是英國人、但會為了賭債跳崖自殺是法國人」之類的台詞讓人印象深刻。

而除了歷史氣息濃厚外，遊戲中的重點，當然還是出千了。就像《決戰21點》等作品一樣，想要在牌桌上戰無不勝，最重要的就是要「快」、「記憶力」以及「別惹人懷疑」。

遊戲的基本機制，其實嚴格來說比較像是 QTE 系的互動遊戲。在每次開賭之前，玩家可以自己決定下注的金額，並使用千術來試圖贏取勝利。
每種千術都有不同的 QTE，例如在洗牌時，向上是放牌、向左是挪牌作記號、而向下則是繼續洗牌。其他也有「從左至右收牌」、或「在巧妙時機偷牌」等操作。

隨著劇情推進，你需要的千術會越來越複雜。一開始可能只是偷看牌和報牌就好，後面則會需要撿牌、洗牌、切牌、藏牌，各式各樣的手段一起使用，而且必須一氣呵成。
哪怕只是慢了一秒，都有可能讓對手更加懷疑。有時候還必須要故意敗北，增加對手的信心，又或是時而出千時而不出，以控制對手的懷疑程度。甚至某些時候，你還要自己觀察戰局，做出計畫之外的操作。

像其中有一個雙副偷牌的環節，需要你將另一副牌帶到隔壁的房間去做牌，但同時又必須挑出重複的牌堆以免穿幫。
此時你不只是要一邊就著下方的懷疑量表不停跳動快速換牌，甚至還要觀察牌桌上的互動點，將換好的牌偷塞給敵方的隊友讓它們內鬨。這些細節的設計真的能讓人感受到遊戲充滿巧思。相當地有意思。

但也有個讓筆者比較不滿的地方，那就是遊戲機制上，實際上並不存在「老實打牌」這個選項。只要你在某個回合沒有出千，基本上就百分百會輸，完全沒有聽天由命的可能。
所以放棄出千，實際上只是做為恢復懷疑值的手段而已。這或許也是為了強調老千的勝負沒有意外才這樣設計的吧。

當然，單就這一個多小時的體驗版來說，還有很多未解明的地方。像是可以捐款給做為據點的「卡斯卡洛特人的營地」，目前為止功能不明。
另外金錢雖然可以做為參加更大賭局的資本，但由於推進劇情需要分成數次騙出對手的情報，所以把把 ALL IN 榨乾對手的玩法和更多的資本實際上沒有太大意義。
其他像是怎麼樣會觸發預告片中的決鬥、以及更自由地運用千術的環境目前也都還沒出現在體驗版中。

不過即便撇除這些謎團，《王牌卡神》現在也已經是一款相當不錯的藝術品，遊戲有著具歷史氛圍的美術和音樂風格、緊張刺激的出千玩法，以及懸疑又幽默的主線故事。
雖然可能在重複遊玩性上得打個問號，但至少第一次的遊戲體驗的確相當出色。而前述的未解之謎都會一起在 6 月 2 日發售的正式版中揭曉。有興趣的玩家不妨一起透過目前 Steam 上的 Demo 版，來看看這部有趣的新作吧！
