So, you lượt thích
Hearthstone (Free), right? Who doesn’t! & how about
Puzzle và Dragons (Free)? Maybe? Well, what if I told you there’s a game out
right now that combines them? That’s right! Not only can you slap opponents down in vicious turn-based thẻ battles, but you can
also nâng cấp your cards and khuyến mãi with all kinds of extra free-to-play junk on top of it. It’s true! That game is CROOZ’s
Card King: rồng Wars (Free), & you’re either going to lớn love it or hate the very idea of its existence. Let’s dive in!
In
Card King, your goal is lớn collect a bunch of different creatures (skeletons, dragons, blobs, etc.) & bring them into matches against an AI or real person. Whereas in
Hearthstone you just have to worry about preserving your Hero’s health, here your HP is essentially spread out over all the characters you bring to the table (like
P&D). Once your last one has died, the battle is over and you’ve lost. All of your little minions can perform a basic attack by simply dragging from one of them lớn an enemy, but each creature also has a specific set of cards they can bring into battle as well. For example, my blue Frost Elemental has a card called “Inflict Freeze for 2 turns” which can paralyze any enemy I play it on. Cards can also boost your attack strength, trigger magic attacks, grant shields, lower an enemy’s critical hit chance, and much, much, much more.

One of the first things that struck me about the game, actually, is just how surprisingly deep it is. Not only are there tons of different cards, but there are also a crazy amount of creatures khổng lồ collect with different stats and special abilities. You can even create your
own cards, và level up or evolve all your creatures to lớn your heart’s content. It’s pretty overwhelming at first, and even after well over a week of playing I still feel lượt thích I’ve only seen about 20% everything in the game. If you were the right kind of person, I could really see this taking over your life. You could easily spend hours each day completing daily quests and fighting through daily dungeons upgrading, upgrading, upgrading.
Of course, you’d have to lớn work around the energy timer if that was your plan. At first it’s pretty generous, with frequent rank-ups replenishing it and giving it a higher capacity at the same time. The further in you get, the more you’ll feel squeezed, though. Later battles cost more energy, and you’ll need khổng lồ spend a bunch more energy trying khổng lồ grind for upgrade material & coins. So yeah, the trò chơi is full-on free-to-play. If you are a
Hearthstone nut, this game’s more aggressive monetization might be a tough pill khổng lồ swallow. If you don’t mind it (or are just used to freemium stuff) then it’s probably not going to feel that bad. Personally, I’m getting more và more comfortable with social RPG shenanigans &
Card King feels about right in that respect.

While the game is generally pretty fun & the monetization isn’t terrible, I vì have some issues with it. First of all is the game’s heavy reliance on randomness during battles. I know, I know. Thẻ games & RPG’s alike have always made use of random number generators, but somehow it feels slightly worse here. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had an AI opponent hit me with a “50% chance attacks fail” card that seems khổng lồ make every attack fail, và then I’ll play the same thing on them và they have zero problem attacking. It could be that I’m just unlucky, but even so, it’s incredibly frustrating.
Another problem I have is with the game’s multiplayer. It seems khổng lồ work really well at first, with speedy matchmaking & a smart system that raises everyone’s cards to màn chơi 25 to lớn even the playing field. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite level it enough, because you can still bring in higher tier cards và demolish your opponent through sheer brute force. I’ve been stuck in the lowest league for a week because I haven’t ranked up enough to lớn take more powerful cards into battle. Our cards may all be cấp độ 25, but every opponent I fight has a hand full of 4 star creatures & the best I can vày is a few 3’s. The only way around this, I guess, is to lớn keep grinding & grinding until I can rank enough to lớn fit the heavier 4 star creatures into my hand. (Also, I have to lớn keep grinding missions for gems lớn actually acquire some 4 star creatures.) It’s going khổng lồ take a while. I hope it’s worth it.
So that’s Card King: dragon Wars. It feels a little overwhelming và unfair at times, & it has a free-to-play model that is almost guaranteed lớn turn large sections of our readership off (or the ones that comment, anyway). That being said, it’s undeniably fun, absurdly deep, và has a really competitive multiplayer scene with hassle-free matchmaking. It’s kind of tricky to lớn give the trò chơi a score, because it really depends on what you’re into (and can put up with). If you lượt thích Hearthstone & social RPGs lượt thích Puzzles và Dragons, this could really be your new favorite game. If you have a low tolerance for free-to-play junk & don’t have a lot of time to put into grinding up a nice stable of diverse characters and cards, then I probably lost you a while ago anyway. Myself, I’m leaning towards a 4. That feels about right.
