Hearts 3D Premium

[h2] A competent attempt at a Hearts game, just a shame there's nobody online to play. [/h2] Hearts 3D Premium (Is there a non Premium version?) is a card game where you take tricks and try to avoid scoring points, the only exception is that if you take all of the tricks, including the Queen of Spades, you will add the maximum number of points to every other opponent on the table. I won't go into all the rules as there is a decent tutorial explaining the rules within the game, but that is it in a nutshell. So, is it any good? That depends on your skill level at playing Hearts and whether you want an online match or are happy to play against the AI. At the moment you don't have much choice, as there is nobody online because the game is only a month old, and finding and setting up a lobby was a bit confusing I thought. It reminded me of playing card games decades ago where you have to enter your IP address for LAN matches and when hosting an internet game there was no lobby or message to suggest that other people could actually see your table, so I was left a bit confused. The game really needs a Discord group or Steam group to organize matches, which can be accessible in game, and the match making system needs to be overhauled to make it simpler and cleaner. The actual game is presented well enough with a multitude of different environments to play in, fifteen different decks, fifteen different tables, and settings to adjust game speed. You can turn on and off shadows and reflections and adjust sound levels. There are five different tunes or a medley of those tunes, but you cannot hear them in the settings as you scroll through them which would have been welcomed. It worked on my ultra wide monitor without any changes and there is an option to play in windowed mode too. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3281225351 The rules of the game can be altered to suit your mood with up to six players playing at three different difficulty levels. Settings can determine finishing after x amount of rounds, or reaching x amount of points, and can include shooting the Sun, where you have to take every single trick, as opposed to shooting the moon, where you take all of the hearts and Queen of Spades. There are also variants where you can include Jokers which either instantly win or lose a trick. Shooting the Moon and Sun are great ways of injecting some tension and jeopardy into hands, but it is difficult to know who has already won tricks because they are not shown anywhere, so you will need to rely on your memory to keep track on things. Personally, I would like to see who has won tricks on the screen, or at least have that as an option in the settings so that people who prefer that can have it if they wish. The AI difficulty on professional, the hardest difficulty, was okay for my skill level and there is a leader board which registers your lowest score, even if you didn't win the game. It would be nice to have friend's leader boards and online leader boards too. The score boards are a bit simple and look ugly so a redesign of them would help. The achievements unfortunately rely on playing x amount of games in general, and playing x amount of games online. I much prefer skill based achievements rather than ones that rely on grinding, and in some cases might be impossible to achieve if you cannot find an online game. [h1]🍳Conclusion🍳[/h1] [quote][h2][b] Hearts 3D Premium [/b] is a decent attempt at Hearts and is perfectly playable with a nice aesthetic and lots of different rules and settings to apply to cater to your tastes. The only major drawback currently is that there are no online players and the lobbys are a bit confusing to use. There are lots of improvements which could be made including some horrible achievements, which would help single players carry on playing if they were catered more towards them, and extra leader boards. If you are happy to play single player against AI, which is a relaxing experience, then I would just about recommend currently. Hopefully, some of my suggestions will be implemented, but be wary that if you want a multiplayer experience online, there isn't one currently, but I guess that is only going to improve if people buy the game and there is an easily accessible area where players can organize games.

Yeah it's only 3 bucks, but this is probably the worst Hearts game I've ever played. It's pretty, nice interface, and even has some music playing in the background. But the AI is the absolute worst. I played on the highest level - professional - and the dummy players passed me low spades every single hand. And the way they play their cards is completely nonsensical. And this was on the highest level. To top it off, I got achievements for playing 25 hands, and for playing 50 hands, and for playing 100 hands all at the same time on my first game. I think I actually played 14 and won in a landslide. So there's something up with the achievements as well. After 1 game, I know I'll never play this again. And if you know anything about Hearts, you should skip this one for sure. It's not even worth 3 bucks unless you want to play against real people. But there are free online Hearts games out there already.

I thought the previous review didn't understand the concept of "getting rid of a single suit", but the AI really is dumb. I've seen mobile games that are better. Multiplayer could be fun, but sadly I was the only one online :(

Nice graphics and gameplay is fun! Too bad there are no other players online at the moment, and hope devs will add more game variants.

Don't get me wrong. It's just Hearts, but they did a really good job with it.

Good card game

Ganz nett, Online aber keine Spieler zu finden. Der ganze Online Bereich erinnert eher an ein Spiel aus den 2000er Mit Spieler noch mit IP suchen usw. Somit ist der Spass natürlich getrübt wenn man nicht gegen andere spielen kann. Hab mir mehr von erwartet.

This game could be improved a lot by offering more of the variants of Hearts that exist. https://hearts.co/hearts-variations The program, as is, is sufficient for players new to Hearts or that have no interest in variants of the game, but players that have played many variants would enjoy the additional options. Overall I recommend the program, but not for people that play many variants of Hearts.

I never played Hearts before so I cannot compare this to other games, but I love this game. The UI is crisp and clean and the game play is simple. The AI is okay. It does well enough that you better keep track of the suits—It can destroy a shot at the moon and leave you speechless. I think this AI gets better as I do! Does it?

I like this game.
