Ortus Regni

100% FREE CARD GAME (no currency at all). NOT a Collectionable Card Game, you have all the cards immediatly. TRULY ORIGINAL RULES explained in a really nice way on this page of their own : http://www.ortusregni.com/learn/ as well as on a in-game tutorial I didn't try. 2 to 4 players ! GREAT THEME with Faithful game interactions ! LIMITED randomness : There's always a way to influence the random aspects (even if you can never reach the 100% chance to win a random pull). Since there's not much different cards AND deck size isn't high, you quickly have an idea of your opponent's decks, possibly their draw probability but yours for sure ! The only downsides are : - Not a beautiful art on cards (still fits really well with the theme). - Requires patience to integrate the rules (no problem if you have patience or someone to explain :p). - Few cards (helps to read the game). SideNotes : Those who, like I do, enjoy challenging their brain, particularily when it is to beat other players, will enjoy the refreshing ideas this game brings on the table! I really enjoy the amount of possibilities despite quite a low amount of different cards, the way the vikings interacts with the players, the speed in which you can make a deck between games (I don't know if they added it but I read that in the phyiscal card game you can completely change your deck between games in Bo3 or Bo5 and that the winner may even have his deck locked so that the looser can adapt)! This game also implies "mind games" and I love it. My congratulations to the game Author, Jon Sudbury, and to the entire team !

Even though I haven't spend all that much time in the game yet(~5hours is, at least for me, not a lot), I feel like I can already give a fair judgement: -The graphics are looking good, and at the same time, every PC should be able to handle the game very well. -The tutorial is actually teaching you how to play the game(Note@devs: Neither me nor my friends unlocked the achievment for finishing it, can you check on that?). -No micro-transactions: Everyone starts with all cards the game has to offer, making the game fair and fun for everyone. -The AI is not just a placeholder to fight while waiting for your friends to finish the tutorial, it is actually challenging, for beginners even when set to Easy. -The game is free, and the download is small(folder size currently is 512 MB, not sure about the download size anymore). -The developers are actively discussing suggestions of the community, developing the game and giving some transparency on the development of the game. -The gameprinciple is great and easy to understand, but definitely not easy to master. This is basically the first review I've written, but I felt the need to as the game seems to be overlooked quite quickly as a rather new free-to-play-game. I can see myself spending a good amount of hours playing this, and I highly encourage everyone to do the same!

Хорошee гoвнo @ в 2-х словах: Отличное гoвнo. @ В восторге от этого гoвнa и оно мне очень понравилось @ Языковой барьер является минусом этой игры , единственное это - минус на минус даёт плюс https://youtu.be/mVjnYHG_dVc

As someone who played the actual card game, I found this version to be a good way to test various playstyles without actually having to play someone. I liked the card game, in fact my friend went and bought both expansions so we could invite more people into our little wars. I'm giving this version the benefit of the doubt, as it has just released and as with every game things could be better. I have great faith that the devs will continue to tweak and fix any problem that may arise. With that said, here are some things I've seen that can be better: 1. The tutorial could be a little more explanatory and less role play. I like what they were trying to do but as others have mentioned some game mechanics were not fully explored. 2. I like the display and because I've played the game for hours I know which cards do what. However, others do not and while right clicking does show the information other players unfortuantely didn't know or immediately felt overwelmed. The real game comes with a "cheat sheet" for cards and their functions. Perhaps putting in a menu button for card info wouldn't be such a bad idea. I have not yet played multiplayer so as of now thats all I see that need some attention. Give the game a try, it's free for crying out loud. Nothing to lose but your time and or friendships. And heck if you like it go and support the team by buying the actual physical copy.

Game is really amazing, but they turn off servers soo game is dead now... P.s. the most fun way was to play with friends :(((

This game is amazing. It is completely free to play. you'll find it confusing at first but after 2-3 games you will get what going on. I like this game cuz "more skill play than RNG" Have fun

Amazing novel card game.
