When it comes to how much fun it is. This is literally my favorite game and I can’t even play it as much as I want to because the pacing is too slow and requires a lot of patience. I created multiple accounts over the years from leaving and coming back after long breaks. The customization, strategy and indirect pvp along with a pve story mode is soooo gooood. I just can’t stay away forever, it’s a great welcome gift to have 1,500 event gems. But when the map guide is gone and the energy runs low, it’s a grind for essence. I don’t mind spending 10,000 gems on a lucky spin to get a 5-star creature and a surplus of glory points and hero shards. But when I can’t buy anymore map guides, and the amount of energy I have is limited. It’s egregiously difficult for me to level up my creatures and continue playing. The immense amount of fun I had playing for the first few days are gone and now I just log in to complete a few mazes, a few trails or chambers before I run out of energy, and that’s about it. 90% of gameplay becomes autoplay then skip. The amount of thinking in the story mode in Explorer’s Gate…. to see my creatures succeed in the way I planned out…. the dialogue from my enemies when they see me in a new stage…. the feeling of becoming a master strategist…. it’s all so dang good. But once again I am reminded of why I constantly stop playing this game for extremely long periods of time. I just stop caring. Stopped caring about claiming log in gifts and autoplaying mazes. Every other game just allowed me to keep playing the best parts. But now I can’t stand playing other games, pvp games infuriate me and pve games feel so pointless and repetitive. But Deck Heroes is the perfect mixture, there is no direct pvp, just indirect pvp. Your strategy against your opponents. Your brain against theirs. Infinite time for preparation. And you get to decide how everything works. I truly love this game, and I’m not gonna leave so soon this time.
