There is a small amount of luck involved, but not too much, especially if you build your own deck. I thought it was fun and entertaining. Beating the badge on "Beginner" difficulty shouldn't be too difficult once you get the hang of play.
Looks great, and I love the music. Very professional looking. It needs area of effect weapons/troops. It's way too easy to swarm with bazooka troops and nothing else. Also, and this is a very minor pet peeve of mine, but when you pan over the helicopter, it's description box covers up the description window at the bottom. Fun game overall. Fix the swarm problem and it'll be 5/5.
Potentially a 5/5 game, but there is a gap between the 3rd and 4th castles. Way too much grinding to get the faction score necessary (alliance and blademasters) to get the next set of quests.
Fun game, but needs a score/xp bonus for time. It gets old grinding it out to get enough xp to upgrade everything. Got the card, and perfect scores for the first 5 battles, not sure if it's worth the grind for the rest of the badges.
