Epic Cards Battle(TCG)

(FYI i was banned for critique. The "ban reason" field was empty. Seems like a meltdown is incoming, beep beep) Pro: - Pretty Cards - Boobies - Boobs - Dem Titties Cons: - Pay2Win as hell (5-Star cards are the best ones logically, and you can only get those with cash) To be precise - you can slowly earn tiny amounts of diamonds, most of it through daily logins. In a month you get 25 this way. 1 diamond draw ( a draw with a chance to get a 5-star-card) requires 10 diamonds. Means every 2 months you can get up to 5 cards that are not worse than those your opponents WILL have in pvp. Ofc its just a chance and you still will draw bad cards most of the time wasting your diamonds on false hopes. You need to be a uber-hardcore fan of CCG to enjoy this one even remotely. It is a mobile port, which will try to drain as much money as possible and you will eventually give up and either pay or leave. Its a pity that CCGs leave so much room for exploitation. Would have gladly played a new card game.

Decently fun auto-battle(with some strategy involved) TCG game, but sadly it is P2W and with ridiculous prices so I can't recommend it.

This being on Steam is an insult, it's a dime a dozen ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile "card" game that is nothing more than a desperate grab for your real world money to take a spin on their slot machine for better "summons." I have to admit I've played a few of these on my phone and have enjoyed one or two of them, but this is basically bottom of the barrel right down the line. A good F2P game like this gives you constant rewards and chances at top tier monsters/whatever and money is just a means to speed up the inevitable. This however, is purely P2W with daily quests involving you spending real world money. TL;DR? - -Practically zero gameplay or strategy, Pure P2W. The game makes an attempt to seem more complex than it really is. -Poorly optimised "graphics". -Poorly compressed ♥♥♥♥♥♥ quality music. -Card Art is insultingly "giant tits and ♥♥♥♥♥" I guess if you're a 13 year old boy this might be appealing but I never understood the appeal. Maybe I have class, whatever. On top of that the Steam Title Card for this game is giant Christmas tits IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. I have also heard that they solicit positive reviews for rare cards. ♥♥♥♥ that.

Decently fun auto-battle(with some strategy involved) TCG game, but sadly it is P2W and with ridiculous prices so I can't recommend it. (일부 전략이 포함된) 자동 전투 TCG 게임은 꽤 재미있지만, 안타깝게도 P2W이고 가격이 터무니없어서 추천 못함.

This is almost everything wrong that you can do in a card game. Heavy P2W elements, heavy reliance on random chances, no control over the battles. Add to it that there is no options menu, that its very obviously a mobile port with zero effort made to have it be on PC, and you have a very poor excuse for a card game. Strategy? Ya, no. "Abandon the brainless card games and play the real strategic cards game, 3 kinds of card types: Unit, Spell, Trigger. Build up your own cards deck to conquer your opponent." - Yet they take away any potential way you could use that to your advantage by making combat 100% automatic. Avoid.

The devs are after your money. Plain and simple. For starters if you really want to play this game, get the mobile version. It's a lot easier to play I have no problem making in app purchases here and there. Maybe $20 or even $50 on games I like. In most games spending money doesn't give you any real advantage it just lets you progress faster. Epic Cards Battle is not one of those games. Finshing every level of the campaign on all three difficulty levels will require at least a $20 purchase. If you want to win in PVP you will need to spend a lot of money. When I say a lot of money I feel like I need to stress the "a lot" part more. The players at the top of the leaderboards all have win percentages over %85. Many of them win over %90 of the time. These players have invested thousands of dollars into this game. As a free player, or a pay player without the deep pockets, you can expect a win percentage around %50. In order to compete in the ladders/tournaments you will need the best cards right? First you must pay your way to VIP level 6 in the game. That's gonna set you back about $250. Then you can buy the best cards in the game. The ones that the devs say you can beat with any card but you really can't. The Epic cards if you will. (They are seriously called that in the game.) One Epic card will run you $100. Then you have to upgrade it level 50. That's gonna be an additional $500 to purchase the rubies you will need for that. Now of course you will need all of the Epic Cards wont you? Lets just say for fun there are 25. That comes to just shy of $15,000 for the cards and the rubies. Still want to play? Free players can expect the grind of a lifetime just to aquire the games lower tier cards. Free players will never be able to get an Epic Card. Never. The devs made sure of that.

There are only four things you need to know about this game: 1. There is no gameplay (pick cards, watch animated battles) 2. This is a port from a phone game (energy cooldown) 3. Microtransactions (to buy energy, cards, gems, etc) 4. Pay to win If you like paying more money than the person you're battling, then full steam ahead cause this game is for you. (no pun intended on the "steam" mention)

Epic Cards Battle advertises itself as a game that is clearly not P2W, but I find that to be the opposite. They offer daily quests that require people to buy Diamonds, their in game currency in order to complete and some of these require the purchase of $200 in order to fulfill the requirement. On top of that, in game gold is very limited. You have a fixed amount of energy to spend on quests and PvP matches unless you buy more or level up. On top of that, packs you buy with Diamonds can also guarantee the highest tier cards in the game. Far too many TCG games are doing this and this needs to stop. If they truly wanted to do away with P2W, they should adopt the system that is used by physical TCG card games.
