I bought the game for 99 cents and I didn't spend enough time with it to justify the purchase. I'm a lover of every card game, but the interface is just so agonizingly clunky I couldn't spend time with it.
A game that only has pvp options but no other players? Worthless.

Amatuer attempt at a card game but a very good attempt. Bare-boned with simple '7th Grade Math folder' illustrations the game still runs competently and introduces a few new ideas (as far as I'm aware) such as timed cards which detonate and launch themselves at the opponent or character cards that grant heal on all of your monster cards at the end of each battle. Defense is handled differently too where in cards must be placed in the front row but you can't just opt for that placement initially meaning other actions have to allow that opportunity or the card has a specifc instruction to be placed in the front line upon entry. There appears to be no deck-building or card-collecting. Despite having a card viewer with filters you're granted all cards from the start. There's no campaign (but these kinds of games really don't need a story) thus a strong focus on mulitplayer or skirmish against A.I. (which I found to be on the easy side). You can also play local Hotseat but who the hell still does that?? The phenominally small $1 asking price is fair enough but if you're swamped in card/board games already you'll probably find this one laying in your backlog for awhile as it's a poor man's version of all of the others.
Worth the ~1 dollar. Fun game, wish more people were playing. If I load it up late at night, I can't find anyone for multiplayer, but I have been able to play multiple multiplayer games. Menu/UI system (especially in game) are a bit clunky and awkward, but once you figure it all out, this is a great way to burn some time. I love how it's all random without deck building, so you can just jump in and see what crazy plays you can make, and then jump back out to whatever you were doing. I've only had 2 crashes. One was after I had alt tabbed a few times, so probably minor. The other was when I tried to use a card that moved an enemy's row on an enemy minion. Obviously this is not a super compeitive game and is meant to just be a short, fun time burner as everything is random. There will be games where your opponent gets a bunch of high powered creatures (say 6/6 or better) and you literally get nothing better than 1 atk/power, don't let it frustrate you and just try again, because the opposite will happen too.
(Эмо стих) С чего начать? Не знаю даже, Начну с конца – так проще начинать. Не знаю, как мне без тебя жить дальше, Мне без тебя ни есть, ни спать. И днем и ночью тобой лишь грежу, Везде я вижу лишь тебя. Я то люблю, то ненавижу Но ненавижу все равно любя. Ты мое сердце, cукa, тронул! Ты все его перевернул! На задний план все отодвинул, Как жаль, что меня тоже отшвырнул… Я в четырех стенах страдаю, И солнца свет уже не мил, Быть рядом лишь с тобой желаю, Я знаю, меня же тоже ты любил… Ты был мой Сальвадор Дали, такой же, как и он до встречи с Галлой, Непонятый никем и вечно пьяный дурачок. Елена же, была обычной, но упрямой дамой, И дела все, чтоб ее муж добиться вершин в жизни смог. Как жаль, что ты не стал Дали, как жаль, что у меня нет сил, быть Галлой, А я старалась, даже очень, посмотри. Ты сам подумай, я зла же не желала, Желала только счастья впереди… Я так желала жить с тобой счастливо, А в будущем, быть может, и детишек завести. Как жаль, что ты так поступаешь не красиво, Прошу тебя, «тараканов» своих в голове потрави! Одна бороться с ними, я не в силах, Ты сам же хочешь их убить! Давай их вместе, разложим по могилам, И не дадим им жизни наши загубить! Ты помнишь, как в ночь, с четырнадцатого на пятнадцатое февраля, Тогда ты говорил в серьез и искренно, Ты говорил, что изменишь образ жизни, ради меня, Неужели, все это было бессмысленно? Я так не думаю, ведь той же ночью, С тобой в потоке страсти мы слились, Ты сам же видел все, воочию, Что мы – одна душа, когда тела наши сплелись. Ты говорил, что любишь меня любую, Какой бы дурой я бы не была, И ты пойми, прими, что я буду злюкой, Когда твои действия ведут тебя не туда! Мы можем и будем счастливы вместе! Можем и будем! Лишь захоти! Ты просто гладишь меня против шерсти, Но можно же не так, можно же «по пути» Давай же заново, учтя ошибки, Наш путь совместный по этой жизни проведем, Да так, чтоб были в нем одни улыбки, Когда готовим вместе, или же гуляем мы с хорьком. Давай мы будем вместе, давай не огорчать друг друга, Давай любить, и полной жизнью жить! Ведь ты – мой лучший друг, а я – твоя подруга, Мы можем же друг другу все простить! Когда ты рядом, мне никогда не страшно, С тобою рядом я все могу! Я для тебя хочу быть важной, Я тебе в чем угодно помогу! Давай забудем все обиды, Ты чувства в сердце не губи. Мы друг без друга словно инвалиды, Ты словно без мозгов, я словно без души. Кто, как не Судьба нас так связала? Конечно, может быть и Сатана. Мы вместе можем сбежать из этого «подвала» Главное, не дойти до дна. Ты с первых дней знакомства стал мне близким, Родным, как никто и никогда, Ты – заболеванием стал моим психическим, Ну как же я теперь-то без тебя? Люблю тебя! Ты тоже любишь! Я – часть тебя, ты - часть меня. Надеюсь, что меня ты не разлюбишь, Надеюсь, что тепло между нами навсегда.
[h1]Verdict: 3/10 [/h1] Magic The Gathering on a budget, just under 1€. You get what you pay for, and esthetics is not its strong suit. It offers simple game play, a nice set of well implemented cards, and both single, multi and hotseat modes. Unfortunately, single player is too easy; multiplayer seems to be dead; and hotseat cannot make up for them. A pity, but multiplayer is essential for this game and it just isn’t there. [h1] PrivateJoh’s personal (re)view: [/h1] [i]Pick a hero[/i] is a pseudo-clone of Magic series on a very tight budget. And I do mean it, a reaaaally tight one. I must confess the first impression of [i]Pick A Hero[/i] is not great. Welcome menu seems a bit uninviting. When you first open the game, the most remarkable feature is a too large a font that seems to scream at you. Game play is a bit confusing. That said, after less than 5 minutes, you already get the basics of the game, and can play without mayor problems. Now the large font actually comes in handy, as it clearly explains in short sentences the effects of the different cards. And these, the cards, are probably the best feature of the game. They are well thought off and a good amount of them. The game mechanics are solid, but …. [i]Pick a hero[/i] would shine as an on-line game, but unfortunately multiplayer is dead, or at least I could not connect to any player. Single player is just too damn simple, even for a crappy player like myself. The first turn player seems to always have the advantage, and that is always the player, so the CPU is crippled. Once you play a couple of games, you will invariably beat the AI soundly. A local-multi has been implemented, but that would require the physical presence of the opponent, which is not always an option. [b] In summary; [/b] a well implemented card game, with questionable esthetics but a solid card deck, that suffers greatly from a small player base and, as a consequence, a lack of multiplayer possibilities.

I do agrree with the people stating it needs a UI overhaul, the tutorial is a bit of a mess as well and therefore doesn't really help with the UI. The game is pretty much Hearthstone with some added tactics in that you have two lines of the field and "taunts" can only be played on the front line, non-taunts ("in front" is the game's name of taunts) can only be played in the back row, the game never tells us how many creatures each row can handle... It is a game I know I'd like a whole lot if it got some polish as it is I would prefer to give it a sideways thumb but as it seems a bit of a mess and there's no way to give it a sideways thumb I have to give it a thumbs down I'm afraid. (not going to go for a refund though as I hope things will improve, it just takes a little bit of polish and that's it)
