I find this game utterly baffling and fascinating. Like being invited to play a game of chess to find the chess board is in a bottle and the chess pieces are all live beetles. So much of it is antithetical to typical Trading Card Game best practices, that I can't help but be entertained by the train wreck. There's enough of a semblance of competent design that I have to appreciate the things the game does well, but for every interesting quirk, there's a minor foible to follow it up. This game is a fantastic case study in removing direct player agency from what would otherwise be a strategic card battle. I'm going to enjoy playing this over the weekend for BotD, seeing how broken I can make my deck, and then setting my arena team to just one medic to help others get the badge quicker. Cheers.

I like how when you lose an arena battle, it tells you to try a new strategy next time. But there is no "game". There's just click start and cross your fingers.

It took me 1 hour and 20 minutes to get the medium badge. I'm out. Imagine wasting hundreds of hours on this game. What's the point? It's not even fun. It's just waiting for matches to play. I wasted enough time on Spellstone. Never again. Just because you have a lot of points in a random game doesn't mean anything in real life. Just play actual fun games.

This game is so dead that without playing it, I reached rank 975 with 0 crowns and earned 15 gems. That means that there are not even 1000 players. Do you know that there are TCGs where you can earn money by playing them and selling cards?

I logged in and got the message "You were disconnected from an arena match an lost the battle." I last played it almost 5 months ago for half an hour.

The good news is that's there's autoplay. The bad news is that autoplay is even necessary in the first place and that it's just some random crap. Play real TCGs like MTG, Pokemon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh! or Hearthstone. Those games have true strategies and real control. They are world famous for a reason. Not many people know about Storm Wars, Spellstone, Animation Throwdown etc. for a reason.

Are... Are you serious? Win 15 arena battles? This is a grindy game. Grindy games have very long badges. The easy badge took me 25 minutes. Can anyone tell me how long the medium badge takes before I try all night?

Everyone knows that Vasant's games are the best games on this site. Some choose to value that. Some, in jealousy, bash him for his hard work.

Just got my badge, so I went ahead and stripped my deck so there's only a single medic. Now the list of people who have weakened their deck is Arus51 (me), PetFan, Shadoweflash, sirgarbeto, and Maybeduck. Much luck to you all.

I've compiled a list of people who have claimed that strip their deck to make arena fights against them easy, so far I have: PetFan, Shadoweflash, sirgarbeto, Maybeduck. If you're doing so as well, make sure your comment as the word "arena" in it to make your comment easy to find.

Stupid pay-to-win game with no strategy. Everything is randomized, from the cards you get to the cards you play.
You can only put cards in your deck but you can't control which one to play. You can only hope the randomizer is on your side, and most of the time it isn't.
The campaign is tolerable but the PvP arena is extremely bad. I often lost to opponent half my level with less cards and less hit points. My cards sequences were so badly randomized the opponent easily won.
The most obvious "random number" cheat is the coin flip at the beginning of the battle to determine who goes first. Normal coin have 50% chance to win. But when I play, I only go first 25% of the time or less.
Even opening a loot box you got after winning arena battles requires you to pay premium currency or wait hours before you can do so. Also, you can only hold limited number of boxes. If you want to hold more you have to pay premium currency.
One of the worst "free" game I've played. Avoid it like plague.

Lightning-fast may be good. But I've never been able to read any of the tips. They are good before I can read them. Not very helpful as tips go....

Got both badges now. Filled my deck with low level cards and unequipped items from my hero so look out for me in Arena.

After having played a similar, but much more in-your-face p2w game elsewhere on this site, I'm revising my score for this back up to 5/5.

Its no balance, its cheaters decks... when allways "evoid", where is anti-evoid? And where is find this function? people with crooked hands made this a waste of time. Even the function "skip" was not done, because X10 is slow and tedious.

first, you dont have any way to time when you play a card, so basic luck, they dont even let you skip the battle scene even if you have no control!! and then, when you lose, you just wasted your time, if you are not strong, you wont be able to get strong...... because you only get reward for winning, you wont get any gold nor exp to help you progress. so 1 star for a rubbish which is all about real cash and luck only. a idle game would be better off at least i can feel that i am moving forward if i spend time on it

All in all, 4/5. For anyone looking for an "easy" way to get the harder badge, grind towards bottom right until you unlock Phantic(Dark Elf General). Evade+Mortar will help you defeat the jobbers everyone is helpfully putting into the arena. If you can, bring along units with Burning, Extra Attack, and you should be able to beat most opponents with a Level 7 general Phantic.

Ever have one of those dreams where you're trying to run but you're slogging through molasses. Or you really need to take a dump and can't find a toilet? That's what this "game" feels like.

Two whole weeks when ever single badge of the day is a Medium? Way to go, Kongregate. What a great way to discourage players!

Instructions unclear, like where to get more gold(can you even grind for more?), and the AI is most definitely cheating, winning the coin flip 7/10 times.

@sirgarberto & @PetFan Good idea. I stripped my army for arena after i got the badge. So anyone needing it, I'm an easy target. I wonder about the match ups though- i didn't see either of your names. It might take a lot of us doing that to really affect the arena pool

Can someone who's familiar with this game tell what's a good mix of low-level fast cards to be shock troops vs high-level slow cards?

GAWD- this BS frickin' game. Why the Medium BoTD- seriously? Impossible to earn at this point in the space of a week. Bad choice. I can foresee a week with too many of these "bad choice" badges for BoTD...

I hate those games with a tutorial with big arrows showing what you must do. Those are often asking you to pay for their low quality game.
