World of Myths

Top Pro

Battle System like no other

You have temples you need to destroy and each gives different upgrades for your units. Either destroying the 3 temples OR reducing enemy god to 0 health will win you the match. See More

JoyfulEnbilulu's Experience

Beautiful Art

Most of the card arts are WiP but when finished, they're pretty good. See More

FunnyMictlantecuhtli's Experience

I have few hundred hours of gameplay already and the game is just amazing! See More

Top Pro

Great communication with the developers

Very responsive on Discord See More

Abyss's Experience

I played a lot and enjoy the game. Great community. I really like the weekly tournaments and Draft mode See More

Top Pro

Maintenance

Tirelessly focused on fixing bugs and balancing cards. Tries their very best to keep powercreeping to a minimum as much as possible. See More

LikableLahurati's Experience

Amazing CCG with great new battle mechanics and great art See More

Top Pro

Allows the player to be part of the story

Top Pro

Educational

Top Pro

Different play modes and swag to collect

The tutorial mode has some awesome puzzles to help you grasp the mechanics of the game. Currently 20 different Leaders with their own mechanics to influence the game. Various ladder modes depending on your preference including a main progression ladder, drafting and tournaments which are easy to create and join. See More

Top Pro

Engaging lore and story

Slay the Spire

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

A pay to play card game

Card games usually are free to play, endlessly milking their players for money with new card releases and expansions. Slay the Spire is an exception, having only a single purchase that helps sustain its developers. This helps you to enjoy the game without worrying that your wallet is not thick enough to keep up with all the new releases. It also helps keep out trolls and heralds of the microtransaction apocalypse, which can feel really nice. See More

Top Con

Some cards can feel impractical because of randomness

There a really good cards(usually involving exhaust and poison mechanics) that don't really work by themselves, requiring you to have another card for a synergy effect. If you only have one of the cards, it can feel like dead weight that hinders your current playthrough, making it even more frustrating when you can't find a matching card because of randomness. See More

CoherentSerapis's Experience

Probably the best dungeon crawl / deck-building (rogue-like) game there is right now. I have had multiple hours of fun with this game See More

Top Pro

A great mix of genres

A roguelike that has deck building might sound weird at first, but it's a surprisingly fun concept. You can select one of classes(decks), choose a path on the spire, fight monsters using your deck, get new cards to improve your deck, and even fight bosses. There's enough strategy, depth, and randomness in all of this, which can make it really satisfying when you make a great deck, win a difficult battle, or get extremely lucky. See More

Top Con

Limited to just singeplayer

There's no multiplayer or co-op in Slay the Spire. While competitive multiplayer in a roguelite can sound absurd, co-op would've been a lot of fun, especially with a friend. See More

LikableLahurati's Experience

Not enough content See More

Top Pro

Intriguing world

Slay the Spire features a desolate land with just a massive tower called "The Spire" looming over it. No one knows why it's there, why it's inhabited by otherwordly creatures, and why heroes from far away are drawn to it. This makes progressing through the game a lot more interesting because you're gradually uncovering this mystery through the eyes of your character. See More

Top Con

Not F2P

Premium card games have yet to prove it is a successful model. See More

Shadowverse

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Generous with free packs

Playing the solo stories, completing missions, and login events reward you with lots of tickets that can be exchanged one-for-one for booster packs. See More

Top Con

Repetitive

The fighting system is not manifold and gets boring very quick. See More

MagicalZaqar's Experience

Slowest moving garbage. Spammed with notices, have to press cancel 2 separate places when you skip boring messages. They must be insane to think any human would want this spam. Art and game could have potential, but seems devs have minds of little children. Also, you will eventually need all the same cards as everyone else or no chance to win any matches. See More

Top Pro

Includes a fully voice-acted solo story

Top Con

Slow progress

You have to invest a lot of time to get rewarded by this game. See More

CoherentSerapis's Experience

I have played this game for a few weeks but then realized it was too repetitive and did not catch me enough to invest any more time in it. Its a fun game to play but in my opinion it is lacking late game depths See More

Top Pro

Great Hearthstone alternative

Want something like Hearthstone but not Hearthstone? See More

Top Con

Art is not good

FunnyMictlantecuhtli's Experience

Late game is just rediculous... See More

Abyss's Experience

Not engaging. Get boring fast as it has nothing new besides the evolve mechanic See More

LikableLahurati's Experience

Late fame units too OP - try to push you to end games faster then needed. Art is not very good. See More

HEX: Shards of Fate

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

Will be familiar to Magic the gathering players

While not a direct clone many of the elements of HEX are the same type of elements found in Magic the Gathering. So those familiar with MtG should feel pretty at home and familiar with the gameplay. See More

Top Con

Questionable long-term viability

At this point, hard to see the game ever really taking off. Balancing and card development is increasingly questionable, especially in limited formats (such as the current set emphasizing RNG in the Conscript mechanic as a game decider). The game developers have essentially conceded they can't deliver much of what was promised on the PvE side while also struggling to translate efforts there into income. The client interface (e.g. chat, auction house, etc.) remains atrocious. Multiple featured tournaments have been compromised by bugs. This seems like a classic case of reach exceeding grasp, and investing heavy resources into the game is probably not the safest play. See More

CoherentSerapis's Experience

I have had a lot of fun with HEX in these past weeks. It is an amazing game for everyone who likes the mechanics of Magic but looks for (a ton of) additional content. The PvE campaign is, challenging, fun and diverse and simply amazing for a f2p game. It feels like HEX is slowly coming back to life and worth a try See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Pro

Good tutorial

There are tutorials in the game that are pretty extensive in teaching one how to play the game. For many TCGs may seem pretty complicated, luckily HEX helps new players get accustomed to the game. See More

Top Con

Boring

It's hard to get excited about any of it. See More

LikableLahurati's Experience

Nothing new to the card games See More

Top Pro

Great Single Player (PvE Campaign)

A variety of heros to choose from (all with different skill trees and "colour" combinations); items to boost cards; challenging KI fights; good rewards; 40 hours+, completely free to play See More

Top Con

You'll probably never own everything

Each card has real value. Rare items are EXTREMELY rare. And there have already been one-of sleeves that won't be returning. If one wants to own every card and item that exist in the game and can be traded, they must pay a hefty price. See More

Top Pro

Auction house to buy and sell cards

A huge amount of cards for just a few pieces of ingame currency. See More

Top Con

Animations are lacking

The game board often feels like it is not active enough with animations and movement, this makes for a very static feeling while playing the game. See More

Top Pro

Change the way cards work by adding gems where possible

In PvE you can use equipment to change how cards work. A Johnny player's paradise. See More

Top Pro

True TCG

Cards can be traded with other players and have real-world value. See More

Top Pro

Easy to learn, hard to master

The most rewarding games often share this: it takes some dedication to fully appreciate the depth of the game. There's lots of fun to be had while discovering all the layers though so in my mind it's one of the pros. See More

Top Pro

Depth

Complex interactions between cards and several game phases add a lot of depth to this game. See More

Top Pro

PvE campaign

PvE Campaign with a lot of AI encounters and RPG depth. See More

Top Pro

Large variety of gameplay and formats

Between the cash tournaments, the ladder with rewards for both limited and constructed play, draft gauntlets, sealed and evolution gauntlet, as well as the single player campaign, playing the auction house, and the 'sandbox' Frost Ring Arena, there is a lot to engage in. See More

SolForge

Top Con

May feel pay to win

Collecting cards in the game can be difficult as no single card can be purchases, you can only get cards in packs that either cost real money or earned in game currency, which takes time and grinding to earn. This is exasperated by the fact that there is no secondary market where people can sell cards. See More

Top Pro

Cross platform accounts

SolForge has cross platform accounts, making it easy for users to load up the game on their preferred device and log into their account with all of their progress. See More

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Con

Developer has given up

Almost shut down 3 months ago, now the guy running the community is the only one doing anything See More

Top Pro

Simple rules but plenty of strategy to be found

The rules of the game are pretty easy to learn but it is underlying strategy of what decks to build and what playstyles to use that make the game so strategic. See More

Magic 2015

Top Con

Old and outdated, no reason to play anymore

Top Pro

Deep gaming experience

The core of the Magic games is extremely deep with years of additions, tweaks and new rules to broaden the scope of the whole game. See More

LikableLahurati's Experience

The new version is better but still waaay too expensive See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Mixed

Top Con

Game pushes players into purchasing cards

Progression in the game falls a bit flat, especially in the collecting aspect. This may be done in order to push people into paying for card packs instead of feeling like they steadily earn them through gameplay. See More

Top Pro

Six tutorials to help players learn how to play

There are six different tutorials in game to help new players learn the ins and outs of the game. See More

Mythgard

Add Video or Image

Top Pro

F2P Friendly

It’s possible to achieve a full collection without spending a penny. Rewards for new players in the form of a bonus coin pool, faction missions, story mode give them a good set of strong cards right off the bat, and accruing enough coins to get more packs is much easier than in other card games. See More

Top Con

Dev team has not kept to deadlines...not even close

I could take little setbacks, i got it that this is a small development team so progress might be slow...but there hasnt been a single deadline that has been given that has been kept to, there hasnt been a single promise that has been made that the development team has actually kept. Excuses, excuses, im sick to death of them! See More

Top Pro

Deep, Interesting Lore

The story and worldbuilding of Mythgard is well done. Each faction feels very different and the mythology inspiring each and every card is extremely interesting. See More
