Attack on Hex Island

This game is full of interesting choices. Do I take my best tokens and risk losing them? Do I want more arrows for attacking or less for combo defense? Do I specialize in in a type, or go balanced? Do I go for an easy capture, or go for a risky combo? That's one of the best things I can say about a game. It's a lot of interesting fun!

I usually don't buy games below 2h/1€ and as anticipated it takes about 6-7h to complete the game without struggling much. It is a succession of token battles on a rail, close to 60 total. The story is just a pretext to chain fight. The experience is simple and straightforward. No replayability, except for battling the same opponents a few times. So it is a bit pricey for the current content. Some other modes with different rules would be welcome. Now I have made this exception to support the developpers because the core game is solid and fun, it is also fresh to me as I have never played anything like it. I enjoyed that the battles are short and intense, one move can change the outcome till the end. They are also with stakes, the winner gets to chose a token from the loser. I can only imagine how cool it would have been with some world building and be able to explore, challenge NPCs, get rare/unique monsters etc... I felt like the game respected my time, there was no tedium, no grind. The progression was good, with regular unlocks. It was necessary to adapt and change the team regularly, use most of the creatures so the challenge was tuned well with some interesting opponent strategies. I had a good time. Si des joueurs français passent par là, je résume mon avis pour vous : J'ai passé un bon moment. Le jeu est amusant, le concept est original et frais. Les combats sont sympas, rapides, dynamiques et avec un enjeu. Le gagnant repart avec un jeton du perdant. L'issue peut changer jusqu'à la fin. Mon temps a été respecté, il n'y a pas de vraiment de frustration ou de farm. Pas besoin d'avoir un certain niveau d'anglais, c'est simple et facile d'accès. Il n'y a que pour suivre l'histoire que ça peut être nécessaire mais celle ci est très secondaire et sert de prétexte pour enchaîner les batailles de monstres jetons. C'est donc là que se situe le point faible pour moi, le jeu est une ligne droite et se termine en 6-7 heures et il n'y a pas vraiment de rejouabilité. Un peu cher à mon goût.

This game is exactly what I was hoping the final fantasy cards games of Triple Triads and Tetra Master would play as except without all the convoluted hidden rules and mechanics that makes it impossible to know who will win. This game keeps the guessing game out of it and makes it clear who is likely to win a battle by looking at: their level, their typing, and their abilities. The creatures are really cute and fun to collect and I love that there are [spoiler] shinies! [/spoiler] The abilities add so much depth to the strategic nature of the battles. At first, I started just putting tokens down and hoping for the best but once element trumping and abilities came into play, it is a whole different ball game. I definitely recommend this game to anyone that loves strategy card battles, pokemon like creature collecting, and rpg progression systems. Oh, and [spoiler] tinkering [/spoiler] in the game makes it even easier to customize your party. P.S. Those stinking [spoiler] bombs [/spoiler] are both fun and nuisance...and I love them! They have helped me so many times to come back from a losing match by purposely using them! :D Keep up the good work, guys. I'm excited for PvP

It's RPG story will see you go from stage to stage needing to plan carefully to be able to take down your opponent otherwise risk losing one of your favorite tokens (cards). Tokens have different elements as well as weakness to certain elements so keep an eye on that as well. Winning battles see you be able to take one token from your opponent as well as earn gold that can then be used in the games shop to get booster packs to help expand your deck even more! All is in game so no micro transactions here, just pure fun. Don't let the cute graphics fool you either, as mastering this game will take a very strategic mind because the games boards a different every time and the threat of losing your best token is always weighing on you. The game has you constantly thinking on your feet while enjoying wonderful music and adorable visuals. While still in early access I believe there is so much fun to be had here already and already enjoying my time with the game as well as looking forward to what the future brings! For more on this game check out my video on my channel as well as future streams of it...I plan to continuing following development. For now this is a fantastic game that I highly recommend. https://youtu.be/o06a7Gxqf5M

Dont be fooled by the cute little tiles and the small play space, this game can be hard and really make you think, and I love it. Would recommend and cant wait until PVP so i can beat my husband :)

If you are a fan of deck builder games, turn based strategy, or monster battlers like Pokemon then I can't recommend this game enough! Everything is extremely well crafted from the battle system to the special abilities to the creature designs. The story is uplifting and brings a smile to my face too.

Finished the story mode in about 8 hours. What a great little puzzle experience. Took me a while to get that this is a narrative story campaign, not a roguelike, but once I got into the flow it was a fantastic brain-breaky experience. Monster illustrations were adorable and was such a joy trying to get them to evolve and see what would come next. There is an astonishing amount of complexity here lying underneath the surface. You could spend quite a long time engaging in the PvP mode with your friends, developing new tactics, and forming the perfect team.

Saw this game being played on a cool Twitch streamer's channel (JMckennaStories) and though it looked super fun. So I bought it. Turns out it's super fun! I love the puzzle/strategy game play and collecting the different cards with unique creatures on them. The RPG storyline has plenty of humour, bright colours, and sunshiny music that keeps the atmosphere light and joyful. A great game to either pick up and play for those fun, sporadic moments, or to dive deep into and master all the techniques and strategies!

Great game all around, cool art, UI, creatures. Gameplay is fun as well. I recommend :)

Adorable graphics and fun game mechanics. Good story. Addictive! It's super fun to progressively build out my team.
