I normally wait until I perfect games to post a review, but I can't even justify perfected this game. The absolute lack of a timer during battles makes people sit there for ages, making matches take an unfathomable amount of time, making the whole process tedious and not enjoyable at all. Do not recommend unless you enjoy sitting there for 10 minutes admiring the pretty cards whilst your opponent does squat
Kart ve strateji bağımlısı olan oyuncular için ideal bir oyun. Hiç düşünmeden oynayın yani en azından bir şans verin...
really good

Un buen juego de estrategia
Игра Cards and Castles – это замечательная смесь коллекционной карточной игры и стратегии в реальном времени. В ней нужно не просто выкладывать карты, а строить базу, размещая здания и юнитов на поле боя. Что мне понравилось: разнообразие фракций с уникальными картами и стилем игры. Каждая фракция предлагает свой путь к победе, что добавляет реиграбельности. Простой, но захватывающий геймплей, который быстро учишь, но сложно освоить в совершенстве. Есть как одиночные кампании, так и мультиплеер. Единственное, что хотелось бы улучшить, это интерфейс, иногда он кажется немного перегруженным. А в остальном, Cards and Castles – отличный выбор для любителей ККИ и стратегий. Рекомендую!
Fairly straightforward and simple, yet so much fun, would recommend.
I have restarted playing this game three times using different accounts. I just could not stay away. I have moved onto the sequel, which is just as good, but the original will always have a special place in my heart. Unlike other mobile style card games, it does not fell pay-to-win, you can grow a decent collection grinding for free and still have fun. The different deck archetypes were a joy to explore. The design is also really cute and there are usually players to match with online (on at least there was when I was playing and the sequel still has a decent sized player base). A must try if you love deck building and opening packs and finding broken combos. If you can't find players, Cards and Castles 2 is also free to play.
Cards and Castles is a charming blend of collectible card games and tactical strategy, offering a unique experience that’s both accessible and surprisingly deep. The game combines the strategic placement and movement of units on a grid-based battlefield with the unpredictability and creativity of a card game, resulting in matches that are as engaging as they are unpredictable. The art style is colorful and whimsical, perfectly complementing the game’s lighthearted tone. The mechanics are straightforward enough for new players to grasp quickly, but there’s plenty of room for advanced strategies and creative deck-building for those willing to dive deeper. Combining different factions to create hybrid decks adds a layer of experimentation that keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. Matches are fast-paced, making Cards and Castles perfect for quick gaming sessions while still offering the depth needed to keep players coming back. The multiplayer is where the game truly shines, as you’ll face off against opponents with wildly different strategies, forcing you to adapt and think on your feet. While its simplicity might not appeal to hardcore card game veterans seeking complex mechanics, Cards and Castles excels at being approachable and fun. It’s a great choice for those looking for a light yet strategic experience with a charming aesthetic. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a strategy enthusiast, Cards and Castles is worth a try.
Cards and Castles acredito que seja uma versão de Hearthstone um pouco mal feita. O jogo entrega uma certa diversão, porém é bastante desequilibrado. Eu sei que você deve estar me questionando: "Como que um jogo de deck building pode ser desequilibrado?" Vou te explicar ao longo dessa análise. A mecânica de jogo é onde Cards and Castles realmente brilha. A combinação de gerenciamento de recursos, posicionamento de unidades e uso estratégico de cartas faz com que cada partida seja única e desafiadora. Você tem que pensar bem antes de cada movimento, o que deixa o jogo bem envolvente. Um grande problema que encontrei foi quando você começa o game, ele te explica de forma rápida e objetiva. A curva de aprendizagem é bastante tranquila. Mas quando você, que é nível 2, vai fazer sua primeira treta online, meu amigo, você vai começar a jogar com caras que têm um deck de cartas absurdo. É como se você tivesse comprado seu primeiro deck de Magic e fosse jogar com um cara que gastou milhares de reais montando o dele. As batalhas são extremamente desniveladas. Mas o jogo não é tão ruim. Afinal, muita gente gostou, e acredito que tenha sido pelo fato de que ganhar cartas é muito fácil. Às vezes, uma luta que você ganha gera 25 pacotes com 5 cards em cada um. Em resumo, Cards and Castles é um ótimo card game para quem curte jogos no estilo Hearthstone. Diria que seria um bom jogo de entrada nesse universo.
