Jan. 2018
With nearly 100h in, I finally decided to write a short review: What I like about the game: - different heroes with very different abilities and troops. Each plays very differently and allows different strategies - the maps are fantastic and I love that positioning your units is key to be successful - the artwork (I am talking about the finished art) is just beautiful - there is a time-out, that pairs you with the AI, if you cannot find a PVP match within a certain period of time (really important due to the still limited playerbase) - the generous login rewards and in game rewards (but see comment on lootboxes in general below) - no seasons (yet); you rank up permanently, if you win enough games and as such play against opponents with similar skill/collection What I don't like about this game: - I more and more dislike lootboxes/microtransactions. I bought the steam summer sale. It allowed me to have a better collection from the start and a better playing experience than starting from scratch, I think. So far, so good... However for potential expansions, I would prefer to pay a fixed amount and get the full expansion set. The cards could be unlocked while playing the game, giving you long-time motivation, instead of anxiety opening what you don't want or need to improve your current deck. On a sidenote: - that the art is unfinished doesn't impact play - I don't think the game is unbalanced (anymore). Sure some matchups are harder than others, but that's part of the package having heroes with different abilities and armies. I play mostly green, but not because it is particularly strong, more because its suits my playstyle. @Spiritwalk Games: Good luck! I love the game! Thank you for reading my short review. Give Shardbound a try, it's after all a free to play game.
