If you’re tired of deckbuilders all playing the same, and you no longer get that sense of novelty or the light bulb moment when everything clicks as you figure out the system, OPERATIVES: Revolve is definitely worth your attention.

The cards look and feel like physical metal devices sitting between you and your enemies, and that presentation carries directly into the gameplay. Together, they create a unique blocking system: you don’t have to activate your cards to defend. While they’re in your hand, they physically block incoming damage.

Combat is also two-sided and sequential. Where you place your cards affects how you defend, and using them to attack means discarding them, leaving you exposed. These mechanics form an intricate system that opens up many new possibilities in a deckbuilder. Often, how you play during a fight can feel more important than how your deck is built.

The game also uses combined decks. Each operative has their own pool of cards and artifacts, and can be paired with another operative. With five operatives, each with unique gameplay, there are 20 pairing (order matters) to explore. Add over 200 cards, over 200 items and highly adjustable difficulty, and there’s a ton of replayability.

As for the visuals and theme, the game uses a first-person perspective, with brutalist architecture mixed with retrofuturism. Each card can be outfitted with Chassis and Wheel components that change how it plays, as well as how it looks and feels. The cards become abstract mechanical devices that feel like part of this strange world. As a follower of the Machine Doctrine, you fight resistance forces, robots, tanks, monsters and many more.th

Warning: OPERATIVES: Revolve is made by and for people who love mechanics. The learning curve is steep, and it will scare some players off. But if you’re the kind of player who loses hours fiddling with a system, testing its highly responsive interactions until suddenly everything makes sense, that is exactly the feeling it’s built around.
