Cards of Terra

Parents need to know that Cards of Terra is a card game for iOS and Android devices. The gameplay may be a little confusing at first -- visuals are used to depict the storyline, and without additional commentary, gamers could feel some of it is unclear. The instructions also aren't laid out in an overly simple way. The tutorial seems to spend more time explaining specific elements, such as the ability to click on cards to read a character's description, than the gameplay basics. But players should be able to figure out how to play once they start trying. The game involves violence -- technically, the cards battle each other. But no face-to-face combat, blood, or gore is shown. The app also isn't overly purchase-focused. Players earn additional energy as rewards but aren't inundated with prompts to buy in-app currency. The character descriptions are one of the app's only real misses -- various personalities are described using insensitive and overly critical phrases such as fat and simply annoying.
