The game is well balanced and has a fair bit of content. Sadly the developers have abandoned it so no new content is coming for such a fun game and theres no modding capability. I wish we could change the portraits so the characters look more like the Peter Jackson movies.
A solid card battler driven by constant tactical choices: attack, defend, use special powers, play cards from hand, or charge the event meter to trigger positive effects. The depth means a slower start, though - newcomers need to take their time to grasp the mechanics before diving right in, but the tutorial does its job pretty well. The game leaves a great lasting impression, and the more I play it, the more it grows on me.
TL;DR Summary This game is good value when on special. It will run on most PCs even very old ones. It got 7.9 on Metacritic. If you like The Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit you will probably like this. The game is well presented with nice artwork and fully voiced narration with different voice actors for each character; there is quite a bit of story in some parts. Review Each campaign is split into a number of quests with a segment of story for each, these are somewhat derivative from the books. You don't need any experience playing computer card games to play this, but you will need to complete the fairly comprehensive and lengthy tutorials to learn the game. It's a good game to get into playing computer card games as its much easier to learn and much less complex than Magic the Gathering. Gameplay gets more difficult as you progress, some players say it has a steep learning curve. There are two game difficulty levels. You can design your own deck before starting a campaign, go to https://digital.ringsdb.com/ for recommended decks. There is no game wiki, but there are Youtube tutorials and I found a good single player game guide on Steam. Some campaigns can definitely be quite difficult, and game play can feel overwhelming at first for noobs not used to this type of game. The good news is there are no card packs you need to buy to complete campaigns, so no risk of getting ripped off. I understand though there are a lot fewer cards than in Magic the Gathering, but some important cards have been added in updates. You can earn extra cards and custom card artwork as you play. I have had some problems with bugs where the game will sometimes freeze after playing the narration at the start of a quest, but importantly it hasn't crashed mid quest. Some players get bored after playing for just a few hours, but I also notice others play for hundreds of hours! I noticed some reviews say that this game is not as good as the table top version from which its loosely derived, however this digital one is also much cheaper! The game's two DLCs are included, only the sound track isn't. Conclusion This game is a good buy if you want to try out a PC card game, but haven't played one before and want to try out the genre and love Tolkien's books or the movies. You won't need to buy a wallet busting graphics card to run it.
This is such a fantastic game! I really fell in love with this game as soon as I started playing. Now, I will preface that I am a huge LotR fan, yet I think that this game easily stands on its own. I believe it is based off of an actual card game, but I haven't had the opportunity to see if they are similar. My biggest gripe with this game comes down to the fact that the developers have abandoned it. It never really sold well so they eased development on it, which is fine, yet there are achievements in this game that are not possible to get in the current state and some of them that are technically possible, would require like 800-1000 hours alone (I am not being hyperbolic either, it's legit that long). While some people may have those achievements, I believe they used hacked software to acquire them. Anyways, this game is a total banger and I highly recommend it, especially if you can pick it up on sale or if you have a friend to play it with, the coop is awesome!
