![]() ![]() ![]() If you do the latter, $300 to get the full game at launch does seem quite overpriced. What your reaction to this game's business model is really depends on whether you compare it only to other card games or to video games in general. Time will tell but I'm going to venture that this game does very, very well for Valve for the foreseeable future.įor the real haters, there's always Fallout 76 and Battlefield 5. No monetization model will ever, EVER please everybody, but this format doesn't seem to justify the complaints I've seen so far. Valve eliminates the extremes of catering to totally free players and complete whales and narrows the field to spending between 20 dollars to a few hundred. I get that there's no Free to Play grinder solution but I'm thinking Artifact is the best value I've seen in a major TCG so far. Also, I would think that as the market becomes saturated as people play (it just launched FFS) card costs will lower. With ticket purchases and good play and/or being patient on the market, i bet a savvy player could get this cost down some. After opening my initial 10 packs, I calculated that a full set purchase right now is under $300. and didn't get anywhere near a full set in either game. HEX: Shards of Fate - What Duels of Planeswalkers.Spellweaver - Or how to successfuly make a CCG.If you are like me and RPG and CCG/TCG are two of your favorite genres then this is without doubt the game for you! Try it, it is nothing like the others. Oh, oh! I forgot the most important thing! HEX: Shards of Fate is absolutely free to play and you will hardly find yourself pushed to buy boosters unless may be you want to get super competitive and win tournaments. Talking about boosters and cards I almost forgot - cards are separated in PvP and PvE categories which honestly I find for little strange and hinders the game more than anything else. There are of course boosters, sadly sold only for real money. There is Action House where you sell and buy cards. Now that we mentioned all things which set HEX: Shards of Fate apart from the other CCGs let me tell you about some other things you will find this already pretty great game. But if you can look beyond those you will find one very interesting mash-up of RPG and CCG. The may be only big negatives of the campaign are the boring looking map and the dialogues in which your decisions does not seem to be of great importance. ![]() In the game you will find also other RPG "social" functions as Guilds and neutral factions which will act towards depending on your action through the campaign. The PvE campaign is the only way to play the dungeons, being alone or with your party of friends. Your race choice also decided the story and your starting deck until you collect enough cards to build your own. The combination between these two will give you different bonuses. The third way to play is the main reason why so many people were so impatient to try Shards of Fate - the PvE campaign which can be played even solo. Not to mention the gorgeous battlefields, changing depending on the area in which you fight never breaking your immersion. It also includes things of its own - for example equipment for your heroes or upgradable cards which get new abilities. But HEX does not rely only on classical, established as working mechanics taken from Magic. Roaming a world, defeating opponents in card duels while at the same time improving my skills and decks. I had no patience to get my hands on this game and at last relive this moments of joy. Sadly DoP was nothing like what I was craving.įor this reason when I heard about HEX I was all over the idea. After I played it time passed and kind of forgot about MTG until few years ago when Duels of the Planeswalkers rekindled my interest in the game. But there was such game and it was awesome. Does it rings a bell? Probably not, I do not think that many of you are old enough to remember the 1997 video game based on Magic: The Gathering where you were able to roam around, fight monsters, improve your deck and in the end test your skills and cards against the final bosses. Today as you can guess from the title I will talk about HEX: Shards of Fate which recently got it's main feature going at last. What I have said so many times, you ask? I am huge CCG fan! Aah, you remember now, good! Let us continue then. I have mentioned it so many times that I don't think there is need to say it again. ![]()
