😮
Started playing this game and after playing 2 cards it said not enough gold when i tried to play another card. No explanation on how to get more gold or tutorial. I just decided to quit due to poor playability from the start and as usual like most iOS games i assumed it would just ask me for £££ to continue.

I think you definitely adapt this to a board game and run a kickstarter campaign to see if it can be made into a physical game!
Playing Today, I Don’t Understand the Mixed Reviews
This game is not, nor I do think it ever had the potential to be, a “5-star game” in the way that most people would want it to be.
The game feels a bit clunky, the explanation on how everything works is more of a ‘as you go’ than it is ‘here you go’ (personally I don’t mind a lack of handholding, but being able to find “help” or “guide” in the settings would be nice).
The thing that annoyed me most was the lack of terrain/movement explanation. I couldn’t find anywhere that there are hills AND mountains. I don’t know if hills give a ‘high ground’ advantage, but mountains can only be traversed by flying units. Unless your unit ignores movement penalties (flying) then you’ll spend a turn crossing water (at first I just assumed you couldn’t cross water with foot units, until the enemy crossed the river). And mounted units don’t have a +1 movement compared to foot soldiers.
I didn’t realize that the gems were per faction until I finally went to make my first purchase and the menu said as much. Nothing mentioned in a setting or visible somewhere.
I didn’t see a catalogue with all the cards per faction to look at, so the only way to find out what else exists is by getting it.
And there were a few other gripes.
HOWEVER, with all that said, I still give it a solid 4 stars. The game is a good game. It has a little bit of flavor from story text. It takes some learning, but if you just play one or two rounds per faction then you can figure out what you like and run with it. And the most important thing for most people (and the reason why it’s a solid 4-star and not a mid 3-star) is that the game supports F2P. The cards play into the game very well.
100% recommend giving the game a go if you’ve been looking for some turn-based combat.

Hardest game I’ve ever played
I don’t normally leave a review and I have a good sense with these types of games but after getting beat using every race vs campaign LEVEL 1. It’s a no from me. That AI is far too difficult.
poorly balanced trash
as per title, the game puts you in scenarios that are essentially unsinkable unless you pay money to buy packs to make your default deck sobering better than crap
