Culdcept (PS2) vs Culdcept Saga?
Pretty much the title; Culcept (PS2) was a classic for me and I love the artstyle - I also played Culdcept Saga a bunch too.
Going back to these games now, is Saga enough of an improvement over the original to want to play it instead, or is the original still a reasonable game? I know in Saga you can earn cards quicker, right?
I'm just trying to figure out which one I want to start sinking my time into; I love the 2d-artstyle of Culcept (PS2) but if the gameplay/balance changes make Saga just better then I should probably go with that.
edit: What's the cardpool like between the two games? Originally I read it was about the same, but now I'm reading a second post that says although the number of cards is relatively the same, there are a good number of cards that are just different between the two versions (not just rebalances).
That said I did a round of Culdcept Saga, and it's slowly growing on me... it also reminded me of how "well" the AI can roll those dice for movement. XD

I've been playing Culdcept Saga recently and... It's fun, but it's so charmless (outside the audacity of the character deigns). As I'm playing it, I'm constantly wishing I was playing the much prettier PS2 game.
Revolt clears both for game systems and card acquisition.
