When Myrrhine heals 2/3/(4|8) points, Laertes hit 2+(0|1|2|3)/2+(0|2|4|6)+wound/3+(0|1|2|3|4|5|6)+wound points
So I need unit over 10 points hp or stealth to just stand alive for 1 turn in front of Laertes?

i was gonna rate this game 3 stars; well made, has an audience but not particularly for me. then i saw the 'rate storm wars' challenge where you begged for ratings and then claimed 4 out of 5 stars was a bad rating (because its below your 4.12 at time of writing score) and that 3 out of 5 meant i was rating the game as basically terrible and unplayable. so you get a 2 out of 5 for shameless bulls****ing

i love card games but this is not a card game nor a game at all. This is the thing where we have nothing to do but starring at the screen waiting for the end of the "fight".
It's a card game designed for asynchronous play on mobile devices. The 400-some cards, near 200 equipments and 30 heroes make for an incredible amount of deckbuilding strategy. The game is balanced, broad and deeply strategic - but instead of interacting in single matches, you are playing many many matches in one session, and winning through clever deckbuilding and selecting the right matchups. The gameplay is different from what many are used to, sure, but it's far from and idle, or "not a game."

So why is one of the starting heroes so much more overpowered than the other? Gaining damage from friendly units should be a high level skill not one he starts with. It when you get a full board it basically guaranties that you'll automatically destroy the first unit and because it pierces there's no way to stop it. And how easily you can get a bunch of units at the same time it's impossible to just maintain the battlefield.

ok, this 5th round of "Heart of the glen" is just absurd: most of the monsters have "frenzy" which makes their attacks more powerful EVERY TIME THEY ATTACK! just ONE of those would be hard to handle, but FIVE AT ONCE?!

You guys don't need to be mean towards the game. Someone probably spent months making the game, just so you guys can downvote it and write how you think it's a piece of trash. If you don't like a genre, don't play it. It isn't obligatory to play every game with badges, so don't pretend Kongregate forced you. (This is probably going to get loads of downvotes from the "professional critics".)

According to Sir_Valimont (dev) - "The PvP arena [is] accessible from the main menu. I recommend that you spend your first Gems on 1 Dragons pack and 1 Frontiers pack, to make you much stronger. You will get 2 free epic cards that way (we frontload rewards). You don't need to hoard, not only because you only want the badges, but because there are a lot of free Gems daily. We the dev team have taken efforts to make the badges easy for you, just in case you don't like card games. I hope you will ask questions so we can help you get them quickly. :)"

Though there is skill in the gameplay, contrary to what some people here suggest, since the deckbuilding is part of the gameplay, the game highly overestimates itself by saying the "strategic options" are "unparalleled in other CCGs and TCGs". Yeah, sure, there are more deckbuilding options. But strategy here is only limited to that, while most other CCGs and TCGs also require strategical thinking during battles. I don't think it's a bad thing that this game doesn't have that, but it definitely limits the strategic options in comparison to other TCGs and CCGs. In fact, I'd argue this has even less strategic options than Hearthstone, with which the game explicitly compares itself, for that very reason. Not to mention CCGs like Faeria where every decision counts.

15 arena fight wins should not take me a whole hour to complete... WHY is it always putting me against whales who are level 20-30 who only have legendary deck full of cash wasting whales...WHY... I hate this game so much I detest it and will never come near it again after the badges are complete if I can even complete last 2 arena fights. FFS games should be fun not a bloody chore.

I don't know what's happening, it's all luck, there's barely any strategy here. Add something the player can do besides start battles

If you don't like this game. Then do not play even for badges. You are never forced to play. Your free will. If you like it, you'll play a longer time then badges mark your journey.

Why did you give this game badges? It's poorly made, and significantly worse than their previous game, Warstorm. You can't even get the medium badge unless you play a long time and get to high levels. I went in at level 4, when you're finally allowed to, and everyone it allows me to face are between level 20-30. The devs only care about getting money, not a game that runs well and is fair to new players.

Ugh...an auto-playing CCG? Disgusting. I'm not even going to bother to get the arena fight badge. If I could give this 0 stars and it could be tracked I would.

If you have problems running it on Firefox, try turning off Tracking Protection and/or AdBlock. It helped in my case. Don't forget to turn them on again after getting badges :)

Got medium badge and to help medium badge hunters, I remove all my equipment and made my army of common cards like prodromi, skirmisher, medic only. I'm leaving this game and good luck.

You have nothing to do? Selecting cards and upgrading them is well enough to be a warrior. Right to be said, I am the general of my army.

Very shiny graphics, decent storyline but awful gameplay. I'd almost go as far to say this is an idle game in disguise. Nothing wrong with idle games, but an idle CCG? No. This isn't working.

the last post doesnt convey how horrible this game is sorry but i've tried battling the campaign mode 10 times now and cant get the 5th one beaten i dont even get close. I bought new cards they are worthless. DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ITS HORRIBLE!

wow what a horrible game. I'm sorry it got badges. The only reason i see to play this game is to get the badges and i'm almost not willing to even try to get them.

Because everything is random draw and fully automatic, there's nothing I can do to win a battle I'd otherwise lose. Yet, I must sit through every battle else I lose battles I might otherwise win, since the only way to skip the replay is to Forfit the Battle. Absolutely amazing design choice.

In such games, the battle result is automatically calculated before the battle animation is even shown, so why not just show the result then? Who actually wants to watch the battle animation unless they're losing?

The good news is that's there's autoplay. The bad news is that's there's only autoplay. Which means winning/losing is pretty random.

Just a heads up for badge hunters, don't make the mistake I did. Choose the black spear hero Laertes, not the green medic hero Myrrhine. Healing is cool and all, but she's seriously underpowered for PVP. Laertes is basically easy mode in comparison. I switched later and suddenly started winning.

Been playing for roughly a month now, and this game is awesome. It's definitely not for everyone and does struggle a bit to keep your average gamer engaged. However I feel those are minor issues since it's pretty clear the devs are working to address them. Overall, I'd highly recommend this game to just about anyone.
