I don't know what it is about this series. I want to like it. The quality is excellent. The artwork is excellent. Everything looks like it should be fun... but I can't get into it. I get very bored. I guess I'm just too much of a Gemcraft fan, who knows...
This game is a very, very cool start to something better. There needs to be more encouragement for longer words. (Like longer words can be used to create stronger attacks). The trading screen is too cumbersome. A better system is the Puzzle Quest spell system, where different assets can be used on the fly, to cast spells.
Meh. This game seems devoid of much strategy -- and entirely dependent on luck. Only someone of very limited intelligence would believe they are actually "playing" this game. Actually, it's just random stupidity.
Also ... some interface problems. (Why must I enter a 'card info' mode to view a card?)
I played for about 20 minutes, trying to give the game a chance. I can't imagine playing this game again.
First impressions: VERY slick. Beautiful graphics. Great tutorial. But... WTF is up with the directional keypad controls? Point and click would have made this game an A+
