    Heroes of Camelot Review

    By

    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.

    Combat Monsters Preview

    By

    I've been playing a game called Combat Monsters recently, and although it's still in beta, I have to say that I'm very impressed. Rubicon Development, the studio behind the game, describes it as a combination of "a traditional RPG battler with a deck constructing game," and while I'm not entirely sure what that means, the most obvious influence is Magic: The Gathering."I've been an avid player of [Magic: The Gathering] all my life, but it's always annoyed me in a way that the online game is still just a card game, but online," Rubicon co-founder and managing director Paul Johnson said. "I wanted to make something in a similar mold, with similar mechanics, but have a proper tactical element to it; and a game board to move your pieces around on.""Thus, Combat Monsters. The game takes place on a virtual game board that changes in shape and size between matches, rendered in 3D, on which you'll place and equip monsters, cast spells, play magical runes, and more. But rather than simply controlling the action from on high, you're represented on the board as a playable character, as is your enemy. Victory is earned by slaying your enemy's avatar; defeat comes if he does the same to you.

    Valkyrie Crusade Review

    By

    I have to admit; I'm rather shocked and mystified by Valkyrie Crusade. It's a combination collectible card game and town builder, which in itself is an odd match; but both elements support each other a lot better than I'd have expected. So much so, in fact, that it might just be my current freemium favorite despite all the needless issues.The sim elements of Valkyrie Crusade are fairly typical: collect three kinds of resources (gold, ether, and iron) and use them to build/upgrade structures that can gather and store more resources, as well as make incremental changes to the core mechanics. The card side of things is also rather familiar, with "friendship points" earned through befriending other players needed to summon (i.e. buy) more cards, card fusions, evolutions, etc.However, there are a few key differences. Cards used in attack and defensive formations have applicable stats, as expected, but they also have health (represented by "soldiers" for some incredibly odd reason). Different cards have different maximums, and it costs two of all three resources for every one players refill. So when these bizarro health bars get into the thousands, it can be quite expensive to keep everyone topped-off. Totally worth it, though, as the more durable a unit is the longer it should take for them to get knocked out in battle.

    Card Hunter Review

    By

    Time is precious. Especially gaming time, which means video games, collectible card games, and tabletop games are all vying against each other for yours. Happily, Blue Manchu has a solution to this modern dilemma. Card Hunter manages to combine elements from all three into one fun package that also happens to be free-to-play and run right in your browser window. Sound too good to be true? Then read on adventurer - your new favorite game awaits.In classic meta fashion, Card Hunter is not only the game you play, but also the game within the game, administered to you by an eager but relatively novice GM named Gary. He manages to use big brother Melvin's card set to teach you some of the basics of battling and questing in the land of, ahem, Cardhuntria, before he's discovered and you have to start over with just one lowly Level 1 Warrior. You'll eventually form a party of three from pretty basic archetypes: Warrior, Wizard and Priest, all of whom can be Elf for greater movement, Dwarf for more durability or Human for a happy medium.That simplicity is alright though, because there's a lot more to absorb. Every adventure - which look like old school D&D modules, down to the retro art style and flavor text - contains two or more battles. That's where the magic happens, figuratively and somewhat literally, as each battle takes place on a unique board with a square-shaped grid. The board is 2D but has artwork that depicts terrain, structures and other obstacles, whereas your characters and any enemies are represented by 3D figures.

    Zombie Farm Battles Review

    By

    Zombie Farm Battles is an interesting twist on the collectible card battle game genre, not because it manages to make it interesting in some meaningful way - it doesn't - but because of the very simplified, stripped-down approach it takes. It's "Baby's First Collectible Card Game," a CCG for people who can't be bothered to figure out CCGs.

If you've been looking for a CCG that really caters to your jones for a galaxy far, far away, then now, my friend, is the time to jump in.
