Game: Heroes of Camelot

Kabam's latest free-to-play venture is both an amalgamation and distillation of a lot of other iOS collectible card games. Heroes of Camelot has the looks. It has the gameplay. Perhaps most importantly, it has the cards. However, while it seems like the perfect recipe for a great CCG on paper, the results are surprisingly uninteresting.The three key elements to Heroes of Camelot are the cards, the quests, and the battles. The cards can be placed into teams of four, with a maximum of three teams available for the Party once players hit level 10. Duplicates can be combined to evolve into more powerful and impressive-looking forms, and unwanted cards can be fused with favorites to level them up and increase their stats.The quests are a simple matter of tapping the screen to progress, but can yield experience, gold, and extra cards in addition to opening up even more areas to quest in with even greater rewards (and challenges). The battles are hands-off affairs with the player's Party having it out with their opponent's automatically; the results determined by skills being activated on their own and overall team prowess. It's a simple setup, but it's perfectly functional.
