if a person uses the "annoy the hell outa you" strategy, they win. Nobody can stand waiting max time for every move they make. I started no paying attention to what happened and finally I resigned.

The AI has quite a few flaws but this game isn't meant to be played in single player it's meant to be a multiplayer game the actual game play is really fun, it's just the AI's move choices that could use some fixing up.

This has probably been considered and will probably be fixed, but I'll mention it anyway. --------------------

"After playing the game for bit and understanding some of the strategy, I wish I could change the 3 starter cards I choose. it would be a nice feature to be able to re-choose those three starters."

The user "obzinator", many other users I talk to, and myself are in agreement with benstucky. At least, it'd be nice to have a message on the start-card selection screen saying "Choose carefully—you can't re-choose!".

Aside from the item restrictions, this is a very good game. I know why balancewise, but it was really annoying to not be able to use some of my cards under any condition

The heroes are so unbalanced. Some heroes have pointless abilities...
I just don't care for the game much... maybe if everything was not so random. Shrug

(1) It would be helpful, for reference, to be able to see the color (type) of an attack for your active character even when you don't have enough energy to use it (e.g. a darker purple/cyan when the ability can't be used)
(2) haven't read old comments yet, but there seems to be some issues with the health and energy bars at the top... it would be good if they updated immediately after an attack, not after the attack phase (health numbers, energy bar)

This game is intentionally designed to have the ranges set at close at the start. It's not going to change. Many of the "far" attacks cost over 50 energy but are really strong. You are supposed to have to work a little to have a chance to get these attacks off. Starting out with 100 energy at a far range would cause a huge problem with the way the game's characters and attacks are designed. There are only a few close range attacks that cost over 50 energy (Eviscerate, Touch of Doom, Vamp Touch) but these are rare and each of the characters pertaining to these attacks have really low physical armor.

I have only played a couple of times now, and think that the game is beautifully done, but why is starting position never randomized? Especially if I use a random deck, this can automatically put my at a huge disadvantage. Maybe a coin toss or something to decide starting position?

Just played a few matches, but looking good.
One suggestion, make the Starting range Random, its kind of unfair that its allways close if you want to start with a ranged person.

I was thinking about starting range too -- it seems to really disadvantage distance fighters. Perhaps a good way to handle it would be to have the game compare the two starting characters used, and let the player whose starting character is most sneaky or alert pick the starting range. If you had different settings, later, groups of characters could get bonuses for that: vampires can see in the dark, villagers know the jungle, amazon warriors are trained scouts for the plains, something like that. And of course some martial artists like the ninja would be naturally sneaky.

Good overall game, I'd like to see a little more animation in the attacks and character movement. It doesn't need to be anything fancy but it will seperate it from all the other card games out there. Range should be a random thing. I haven't played this too much but I have only seen one background, if thats the case, you should make more, and you should make the background have an affect on the characters. Like a poison swamp that poisons everyone, or a dark cave that increases dark magic, you get the point. Great job!

Minor bug: After defeating several enemies with Rumiko at long distance, the enemies got pushed a little to the right every time a new enemy came in. It reset after the enemy were almost outside if the screen. 1-player mode btw.

It would be nice to be able to flip cards in the deck builder both before and after you add them to the deck. Useful when adding items.

(Add this to the comment before this one.)
PS. I guess you could make "select your range" a decision when you start a match, but it'd put one player at too much of a disadvantage, I think. Plus, you'd have no information to work with but what you know about your deck, unless you've played your opponent before and know what he uses, which is a lame skill to test, IMO. At least when you start at the same range you can make an informed decision relative to your deck and your opponent's card.

“Its stupid that the range at the start of the battle is “close”. Doesnt encourage you to start with a ranged person. And it gives an obvious advantage to close-range people”
I was thinking of that recently. I think the game is designed that way intentionally. In fighting games both characters start at the same range, even if some are better in close range. Kongai is a bit limited in that regard since it’s basically a fighting game broken down into turns and you can't have a "medium" range. I wonder how well Kongai would translate into real-time and how consistent it would be with Kongai. Would it be better, worse, or just “different”?

"It seems very confusing to me that I see -12 pop up, then the character flashes and dies, THEN the hit point meter at the top of the screen falls to 0. I REALLY think that the meter should fall to 0 BEFORE the character flashes and dies."
David Sirlin also agrees on this point, and so do I. I'm sure Kong will fix it eventually, but if they're not considering it, I'd like to ask them to please consider it. It makes for a much more intuitive, user-friendly experience, IMO.

I had one slight glitch when the computer switched out but it corrected itself when I clicked the top left corner button. Otherwise great game so far.

I've played single player twice, to learn the game, and won both times; its AI isn't very good. Twice it brought in the archer, then made no attempt to back her away to far distance.
Poison seems underpowered. The Deadly Poison card, for instance, seems to do one point over ten rounds for each hit. That's not very deadly; I wouldn't expect it to affect who wins very much.

This game is surprisingly better than I had expected it to be. Easily my favorite part is that you're likely to have access to all the same cards as your opponent, making it come down to pure strategy. Though I do have an issue with some of the status effects, specifically poison. I had an enemy under the effect of 6 different poison effects. They died after the second one hit them, but the other 4 still showed their damage after the enemy had vanished. Kind of annoying having to wait for a dead enemy to finish taking all that extra damage.

When I first started playing I was surprised. It's better than I thought it would be. I need to get more cards though =/.

I want to know if it would be possible to watch other people play, just for the fun of watching one friend beat another.

This has probably been pointed out, but the tutorial is blocked by pop-up blockers, which LOTS of people have. As silly as it seems, I'd probably recommend putting the popup link in the html just below the flash so that clicking on it doesn't flag the popup blockers.

OK, I realize that the majority of people here are probably teenage boys -- at least, that's what I'd assume from the descriptions of the female characters when choosing starter cards. But still. Can these descriptions be made a little less wince-worthy? It's fine for a guy named "the Suave" to have a description of how suave he is, but for the descriptions of amazon warriors to focus on how sexy they look is just wrong.

First time playing and i think this work u have done is wonderfull
but u could try put more than 5 cards..
or make more dificult to get a card

Marquis is too expensive to play , his cheapest damage/drain is 50 energy. Vanessa is a versatile character , VERY vesatile , wich almost no weknesses , that is strong at everything but great at nothing ( Radiance Burst - 70 energy , only 45 damage. Double slash - good damage and speed , but 2 hits and could had more damage , but she is good at both ranges )
Cornelius is also a balanced non-weakness character , he is pretty strong , bt fast attacks are his weakness , his attacks are very slow

but Jacen, HOD would still cost 80 energy! how long would he take to launch it twice? it is like Ubuntu's Spirit Assistance , it would take 1 turn to take effect , and if he missed , or u switched out?when 80 energy is in use , there are many possibilities , and Vanessa got for 40 eenrgy 12 damage to all! We would only double the energy and damage , but make it need one full turn to tale effect , so , thats not imbalanced for me

ok unless they don't have any vulnerabilities.... wich i doubt
add the vulnerabilities to:
- cornelios constantine
- marquis le morte
- vanessa vos

i'm just starting and i saw this....
some cards say short-range others say close-range. shouldn't it be all the same ? you coul'd implement some standards in naming, its what i do when programming
