Worshippers

Very interesting strategy game. But also very unforgiving. Unlike games like Heroes of Might and Magic, where you can freely roam the map without any time limits and choose who to fight, here the combat and the whole game in general is more like chess, and the computer always makes the best moves that are difficult to beat.

It's a decent game once you know how the game mechanics work. If you like challenge and card base strategy game, you can give it a try when it's on sale. To me, this game is too hard, it requires very precise planning and luck. 4 hours in, I couldn't win once other than tutorial. I'm going to put this game aside and revisit in the future. Recommend only to player that like this genre of game, have tons of patience and like challenge. But not the rest.

Yo humildemente digo que tiene muchísimo potencial y que sería estupendo si no fuera por su mala optimización. LO MALO: - gráficos mal optimizados, resolución de pantalla no ajustable - tipografía ininteligible en los tutoriales, tamaño irrisorio - falta de información en el propio tutorial, no es nada dinámico ni crea interés por aprender LO BUENO: - la música es estupenda Yo no lo recomiendo para gastarte 10€ y que no lo disfrutes, pero si corrigen los errores sí que vale la pena.

It's trully badass game! This system uniquely combines economy with expanding your army. It's randomness makes it very challenging. Gameplay requires a lot of thinking and planning while reacting to cards you get and enemies you got to defeat at the same time. And there is cool music and so nicely drawn art style. Monsters are very different than anything that you can find in other games. Gameplay here is simply magnificent! And game is portable. I got it installed on my portable drive and play it in a work, so that's why I have very little hours here. Yet there is no doubt I recommend it to anybody. This game deserve far more recognition.

tl:dr; Bugged, imbalanced, on the clock and confusing menus, little lore to explore. Review: 5/10 in current state Sound & Graphics: average. Nice hand drawn images, but very small and uneventful maps, with little variety. Every map in campaign feels the same. Problems: - Confusing menu: if the game can't explain basic functionality on the first glance, you know there will be issues. For example, you cannot rearrange cards in you hand or in units in your army (Wth?) - On the clock: missions are very short, growth takes a lot of time, suddenly you loose because you failed some objective in 30 days - Bugged: some items don't work as expected, army does not gain per battle exp (only unit gains per unit kill) which can lead to some serious issues if you want to level a unit but can't score a kill because it is weak - Imbalanced: overall game mechanics is just bad. Simple, yet unnecessarily complicated. Deck building feels very awkward due to very serious card limit (can I increase that or what?) card unlocking feels weird and cards themselves - are extremely unrewarding. Example - Talisman of life, +1 health per level. Remember my previous remark about difficulty with levelling? Units are weird - I like the lore, but they are limited to 3 lvls (why not have 9 and change graphics every 3 levels instead??) which ends up in further levelling problems (usually your strongest units will end up getting the kills, and thus - experience). Battles feel were awkward as well. Action limit. Somehow I always have fewer than the enemy. Unit shuffling in and out of combat. Trolls for example do not regenerate until levelled up and shuffled out and into combat. Why? Things like that are everywhere. Strategy is problematic as it seems like 2 or 3 valid combinations otherwise you enemies will reap you like a harvest (they seem to have more actions, remember?) No in battle magic, no in battle consumables, no activated items (some are auto-activating, but fail on the occasion). Very little room to navigate. Add to that - low spawn of low level enemies to level up units, weird cost increase for cards, building limits, resources not carrying to the next day (I can understand food, but tools and gold? What happens to my gold overnight?) List is long and I won't bother you - game is simply badly designed and underlying mechanics is very simple, but gets overcomplicated conditions just to hide its simplicity. Greatest offence of this game is no lore to explore. Monster have no Monsteropedia entry (there isn't one). Completing the mission does not unlock any new lore or information from your god or whatever. Not even a clearly visible shine on the star (weird menu - campaign is starry sky and every star is a map you can replay few times?!). Also, I was not able to start a new campaign with a different god after resigning from previous one without game restart.

The only thing preventing this game from being recommended is the user iterface, It's unfortunately obtuse, unintuitive and prevented me from enjoying or wanting to continue playing the game.

Kreativer Genremix aus Strategiespiel mit taktischen Kämpfen und motivierendem Sammelkarten-Prinzip! Man wird sofort in das Spiel hineingezogen: Die Atmosphäre des Spiels ist einzigartig und enthält durchweg künstlerisch anmutende Grafiken. Nach bestandenen Szenarios erhält man Worshipper-Punkte, die man in den Kauf neuer "Karten" investieren kann. Diese "Karten" sind die Einheiten, Gebäude, Zaubersprüche und Gegenstände des Spiels. Dadurch und durch die Auswahl von einer von vier Gottheiten zu Beginn des Spiels entsteht stets ein individuelles Deck und Wiederspielbarkeit ist garantiert. Einziger Wermutstropfen: Die Einheiten, mühsam aufgelevelt und mit Gegenstands-Karten verfeinert, werden nicht in das nächste Szenario übernommen. Doch das schmälert kaum den einzigartigen Charakter dieses innovativen Spiels.

Worshippers has the potential to be a great game but in it's current state of design and balance it's not worth buying if you are a gamer who expects skill to net you success instead of RNG. This game is structured with 4 playable gods who each have 3 build paths, totally 12 fairly unique playstyles that can be slightly mixed and matched. You select your god and build out your deck based on 1 or 2 of these play styles and need to focus on synergistic decks as much as possible to find success. The various playstyles and builds often have a very rock/paper/scissors design to them and you have to pick a build and stick to it to have a chance to make it to the final boss battle with a reasonably upgraded deck. Here comes the mind boggling part of this game that completely ruins it for gamers looking for skill-based gameplay. The final boss army might just spawn as a "rock" archetype and you spend the last 5 hrs building the strongest "scissors" deck in the game which is now completely invalidated by the RNG of what the final boss army is comprised of. There's no telling what the final fight will be so winning this game is just a matter of playing over and over and over again until the deck you spend ages on ISN'T massively cucked by RNG. I'm 30 hrs in and i've reached the final fight with a strong deck 4 times, and only once was I able to defeat it because the other 3 times the boss army completely -completely- countered my decks. It feels like absolute ♥♥♥♥ to spend several hours on a deck only to see it get obliterated by RNG and until there's a way to determine what the final boss fight will be at the start of a run, you're wasting your time playing this game.

Good, nice game

Its a fun quick game.
