After playing the first tutorials i can tell you this: this game is very unique. It uses a Poker/Solitaire system to deal damage to your opponent based on the Poker hands you create. You can also unlock Powercards, which you can equip for extra effects in battle, such as Blessing, which adds 25 to your maximum health. you can also have spells in battle that use Rage Points to activate, adding that little extra bit of strategy to the game.
You play as a Changeling with amnesia, and begin to work your way through dirty northerners to find your lost memories. Along the way you meet a woman called Brin, who serves as a kind of Guide for the main story. There are also a number of side quests to complete, each will get you a number of Silver and potentially new Powercards.
I have to say i understand what people were saying about the combat system, it is VERY similar to Puzzle Quest, in that you form combinations to unleash powers and defeat your opponent in combat and earn silver and rewards. As far as I've played, there isn't any kind of level-up or stat system other than the HP/RP boosts you can get, which is a little disappointing, but then again i don't know exactly how that kind of system would work in a game like this, and would probably end up distorting the unique gameplay. In a way, silver helps you 'level up' because you can buy increasingly powerful Runespells to use in combat.
Runespell is a pretty cool game, and i can see it getting very addictive, its by a company called Mystic Box. Its currently available on steam for about $10, or £7.99. Go check it out.
Till Next Time,
Have Fun
