Shards the Deckbuilder

nice game, Free To Play but... - you have to pay to play multi - you have to pay to be allowed play raid but you don't have any raid cause : - you have to pay to unlock every raid - you have to pay to play mythical (normal game with card loot) perhaps 'Free To Pay' is a more honest tag.

Good game, but bad F2P practices. What you get free isn't bad, really. You can play to your heart's content against AI opponents. Where the F2P problems come in is... 1. There's no way to grind and use an in-game currency to unlock content. Even if it took six months to unlock the full game, it would still be an improvement. 2. With online-multiplayer locked behind a paywall, there will be fewer people playing PVP. If there's fewer people playing PVP, players will slowly lose interest. Leading to... fewer players in PVP. Eventually, it'll be the random person logging in and seeing no one else playing. My suggestion would be to either make it a paid game, charging the $5 upfront, or make multiplayer part of the free content.

Failed to start game. Error: Unable to start Reason: SUCCESS cool game.

This is the most basic a deck building game can get. You start with a deck of 10 cards (7 Shards that generate power/ 3 cards that do nothing), and buy cards from a line up to improve your deck. Attack and currency is both the same: Power. You buy cards from the line up with power, and you defeat bosses with power. Cards give you VP. The Player with the most VP wins the game. Pros: + looks and sounds epic + clean design + easy rules Cons: - You need to pay 5 dollars to play against other Players and to unlock other stuff... - IT IS THE MOST BASIC A DECK BUILDING GAME CAN GET (basically just a copycat of already existing deckbuilding games) - gets boring pretty quickly because of that - having one currency for both attack and money is just too simple Why make a free to play game, that isn't free to play? Why make another card game without inspiration and new ideas? Tell u why: Recycling artworks from Hex, and hoping to grab money from players. Another thing: Unlocking the real game costs you 100 gold coins. The lowest currency tier is 500 gold for 5 dollars. Thanks for that. Either you are free to play or you make your game 5 dollars, but stop this hidden FTP bullcrap.

The same developers made a better version of this game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1017080/RWBY_Deckbuilding_Game/ The new version allows you to play multiplayer for free. Besides the upgrade mechanic, heroes changing your starting cards instead of having a passive power, and different cards the games are the same

The core reason I wish to not only not recommend this game, but actively warn people of it is that due to the way they have things set up if you buy the full game you are unable to request a refund upon realizing it was a terrible idea. I have only played an hour or so since buying the full game in the hopes it would fix some of the problems, but instead only opened up more game modes that had the same problems with some extras added on. Regarding the game itself: The core gameplay is fine but has some distinct issues that result in often feeling like you never had a chance. The ability for opponents to buy up several cards before you get a chance, especially on the first turn, the ability for multiple boss attacks to stack up in a turn, and the fact the you can pick a hero with a particular skill and simply not have the chance to make use of it all lead to bad feeling games.

Deck building games are usually fine. Not great, not bad, just fine. I'm afraid this one is going to have the same ending as Hex: Shards of Fate...

You can't really go wrong with the Cerberus engine. However, the developers, 80Arcade, are shutting down the servers next month. Even now, I'm mysteriously having trouble playing a game, even offline. Game's fine, just don't want anyone getting into a game that will shut down within 4 weeks.
