Hero Academy 2

to the publisher please can you release this game on steam i want to play it.

A great game. Wish they would turn it into a single player game, and add host multiplayer option.

I have been playing this game on mobile for a couple of months now, so my play time is not correct. Eventhough it is the same, i recommend playing this game on mobile for better game feel (clicking on pieces and whatnot). I have played and still play a ton of tcg/tcgish games so bear this in mind, for i will compare this game with a few out there in order to try and make things a bit more clear. BALANCE: This game is definetly one of the best board TCGish games out there in this regard. There are a ton of strategic options and although it is possible to see a few common strategies, it is also possible to reach "legy" rank with your unique style. I did it 3 times now and i have yet to see someone with a similar strategy as mine. The game is balanced with only extremely few overpowered or underpowered cards. In fact, there are 3 cards that are regarded as overpowered and they are usually used on the same strategy, so it is still a counterable situation. This balancing allows for nice customization but there is also this feel that a powerful card is only powerful in a specific deck. They also do a unique take on rarity balancing, something i have not seen any other tcg deal with, as well as this game. PACKS AND F2P. This game has a slow start. They give you stuff and there is quite a few ways to get new cards, but the start isnt as fast as some others out there. HOWEVER. Aside from the usual daily missions, reward per wins and whatnot, they also give rewards per hour if you log in... This is definetly a really strong point in this game. So the slow start is a counter to this continual reward system. I bought the starter 1 time only pack, nothing major and still i managed to make a decent deck in my first week of play, reaching legy rank 400+ in under 1 month. Something i definetly did not manage in hearthstone (where i wasted a few bucks before getting legy). TIMES. This game is fast paced. It may not seem so, but games end really fast. If the match reaches turn 12, players get a 1 per turn ability to chip away some of the opponent's hp. This mechanic + the mana system makes things pretty fast. There isnt much stalling. OVERWHELMING AND SPELLS There isnt alot of field wipers or minion destroyers. These usually cost alot and generally fall under in terms of benefits for using. There is also a limit of minions on the field that actually seems quite small. What makes this more interesting is the fact that, when a minion dies, it usually stays as a corpse for 1 turn and it still counts towards the limit... So overwhelming isnt a problem here. MAIN ISSUES. There doesnt seem to be a good content update. They released a few stuff, sure, but even balancing patches dont come that frequently. Those 3 cards that i mentioned that are regarded as overpowered, they definetly make this game a bit boring when facing them. It is not that they cant be countered, but matches feels cheap and not fluid. It seems as if this game wont last much longer if devs dont try to market it as a sport. It has potential but at the same time it does feel lacking in terms of devs interaction with the public.
