Absolutely love this game! Just unlocked the impossible badge, after like a bazillion tries on challenge 15. I get why people find that one freaking frustrating, but for me it doesn't decrease the fact that I had a huge amount of fun while playing this game. Definitely a favourite.

Some challenges are idiotic. I'd prefer skill instead of replaying a zillion times until finally the right combination pops up.

Finally got the last badge.This game might be good, too bad the designer of the challenges has forgotten one tiny detail. People play games for fun and the challenges offer no fun whatsoever. What they do offer is LOTS of first turn defeats you can do nothing about. It's just frustrating grinding based on luck only.

I wish as I progressed I obtained the ability to make my own deck... and maybe even change my negaqtive sanity effect from agorophobia to something else XD

I have no idea why but before now I could never get past say, the 7 "level" of this game but I actually completed the game this time around with only 4 or 5 retries. Maybe I'm actually getting good at this game? Or maybe it's just luck..

basically challenges 15-17 are luck - think of it as trying to roll 6 6's on dice or something -- one interesting note, i have never gotten value from 'city of r'yleh' the one where opp goes insane because his very next card kills me -- its almost as if its programmed that way

I got all the achievements but the medium one-> "25 damage dealt (single attack)". IĀ“ve done attacks higher than 25 dmg and attacks exactly 25 dmg. When i completed the game and i got the stats it said my highest attack was "uneine". I take it that is german for "not one/no single". So, my question is: how do you do a so called "single attack" in the game?

Miles, you have played the challenges right? Story mode is perfectly easy, sometimes too easy, but the challenge mode, a lot of them are absolutely ridiculous. And I've figured the major issue for a lot of them (especially challenge 13 and 15) is the fact that you have so little health, literally every single attack card except one will kill you in one go. The only way you could have possibly done good for challenge 15 is starting with a lucky hand and the AI deciding to be an idiot. This game is great, the challenges are not.

@ballesta25 If you're getting a 17% chance of the opponent _not_ being able to kill you on the first turn in challenge 15 then apparently you need to start a new game from the beginning and do much better each game. Your performance in each round impacts how quickly you level. Do more damage, take less damage, do it all in a low amount of time, and you will level really well. Perform horribly and your odds of being defeated against later opponents goes up. I don't know if it approaches 83% by round 15, but I leveled fairly evenly with the opponent and had no problems come round 15.

So much hate! Only reason I can see people have so much trouble with the game is not fully understanding the game mechanics? I definitely didn't fully understand it myself for a while, but now I aim to drive my opponent insane as quickly as possible and then abuse that vulnerability as best as I can while keeping my own sanity up, going full force with arcane power and elder sign defense, and dropping some taint on my enemy. It's not EASY to play, but it feels to me like a fair challenge.

It pisses me off how the game plays the perfect counter every time on the challenges... when I take him down, suddenly he plays three heal cards. When I taint him, he responds with Blessing of Hastur. Really annoying, but at the same time makes me want to beat it more and more.

OK, that last badge was a real cookie. Challenge 15 was all about a lucky starting hand, more or less, but I got lucky and won on my 3rd or 4th try. I finished challenge 20 with the Shotgun, after trying everything else, including Yog-Sothoth, Raid, Tommygun, and everything else in between. I suppose it may be a random choice of card.

Got Yog-Shogoth and City of Ryleh in the same hand on challenge 20, basically got 50+ free damage from those two cards and got the guy below zero. Then I ended up killing him with Blast'em the next turn.

Got up to challenge 13. The whole thing is based more on the luck of the cards that you get than strategy. No wonder that achievement is impossible. It's a great game, but these challenges are way too frustrating.

The 'story mode' of the game is quite easy, only a few times I ran into an unlucky streak, so not too bad. The challenges seem to make up for that...

Medium achievement: "Deal 25 damage with a single attack, then finish the round and view the results"
I did 29 dmg, finished the round, viewed the results but didnĀ“t get the achievement. And the dmg bar is stuck on 0. Oh well...

It seems that, win or lose, the opponent's rank increases by one each time. This makes playing very difficult if you've lost a few games. There comes a point where you are just screwed and can't recover. Very defeating and unfortunate.
