Fun game, really like it - when it allows me to play it. You HAVE to be connected to their servers even for AI play. I get a lot of "connecting to server" issues, even when I'm just in the deck building screen. Plenty of times the game just hangs on the "checking content" screen at load up as it can't connect. Plus with a lack of updates, and not much feedback from devs about when servers might be down for maintenance etc., it's pretty annoying. And as you have to be connected to their servers to play - what happens when they turn them off? And when? The copyright info on the main loading screen hasn't even been updated since 2020. This isn't a free game so should you spend money on something that might not be around? I don't know. But I do find find the current setup of not being able to even play against AI when issues do happen (which isn't infrequent) to be too much to overlook, even when the actual gameplay is very strong.

PROS: + the graphics are so crisp, yet cartoon-y, yet warm, yet fierce + very good opening tutorial + if you are a P2W type person, there are LOTS of DLC's to enhance your gameplay + lots of single player missions, for those that don't really want the PvP aspect + menus have a nice logical flow with minimal lag time (even hearthstone loads slower between some menus) + good reward system allowing you to build up different decks in a fair but fast pace + battles flow at a good speed, no long waits on NPC decisions, and each match feels neither too long nor too short + an interesting mode for the genre is added; it's called puzzles, and instead of just PvP against more AI, you have to solve puzzles using a specific set of cards or options, and win within 1 turn + there is a CO-OP campaign that allows you to play with friends or with AI CONS: - the sorting filters when creating decks are lacking some common features - crafting is a bit strange, letting you make whatever you want basically with a timer, as long as you have achieved certain levels - the in-game shop takes quite awhile to be able to buy anything of interest, and there doesn't seem to be a way to use real money to make purchases, unless you buy DLC's Here is a gameplay video for you to form your own opinion: https://youtu.be/7QDPwL_niic

Faeria : Le CCG pour ceux qui aiment l'optimisation pure. Après seulement 6 heures de jeu, le potentiel stratégique saute déjà aux yeux. On est loin des clones de Hearthstone basés sur la chance pure ; ici, la fusion entre le deck-building et le jeu de plateau tactique transforme chaque partie en un puzzle froid et calculé. Les points forts après cette prise en main : - Le plateau dynamique : Devoir créer ses propres cases de terrain avant de poser ses créatures ajoute une vraie profondeur spatiale et une gestion de territoire digne d'un bon jeu de société. - Le rythme : C'est cérébral, fluide, et l'économie de la ressource (la Faeria) demande de l'anticipation à chaque tour. - Le PvE : Le contenu solo permet de se poser et de décortiquer les mécaniques au calme, à son rythme, sans subir la meta ou la toxicité du réseau. Le jeu n'est plus mis à jour, mais en tant que système fermé et fini, il se suffit amplement à lui-même. Si vous cherchez un jeu de cartes exigeant où la réflexion prime sur le hasard, c'est une excellente pioche.

Resolvi testar Faeria porque já jogava Magic: The Gathering e queria algo diferente… e olha, fui surpreendido. O jogo tem uma pegada de cartas, mas mistura com estratégia de tabuleiro de um jeito que no começo você acha que entendeu tudo e, algumas partidas depois, percebe que não entendeu nada mesmo. Ainda assim, é viciante. A arte é linda num nível “abriria o jogo só pra ficar olhando”, e cada partida parece bem única, o que deixa tudo mais interessante. Ao mesmo tempo, não vou fingir que é perfeito: a curva de aprendizado é meio traiçoeira e tem horas que você perde e fica pensando se a culpa foi do jogo… mas geralmente foi sua mesmo. Também senti que a comunidade é menorzinha, então às vezes demora um pouco pra achar partida. No geral, curti bastante a experiência, principalmente por trazer algo diferente do que eu já tava acostumado. Recomendo sim, principalmente se você gosta de jogos de carta e quer testar algo novo, mesmo que isso signifique apanhar um pouco no processo 😅

Love this game and want a sequel so bad
