Players can take part for free immediately. It's a great time too, as Hi-Rez just released a brand new patch that brings new features to the game including better combat logs, the Clan system, a deck tracker tool alongside the usual bug fixes and feature enhancements.

It's a tactics card game - decent at what it does but as far as deep tactics IMO it's lacking a bit



Again I am not going to speculate on "what it COULD be in a year" but rather talk about what is the current state of the game now:



25 card decks are far too small and the game starts to get that "been there done that" feeling fast



The cards feel very limited so decks to me feel limited as well - the deck building is a downside right now



The maps are just too simple - it's flat - no barriers of any sort to navigate - just empty space between opponents.





Fun for a short while and then it just gets old really quickly.



That's how EA is currently for me.

Did you play it when it was first made available or currently? cause they have improved it greatly recently and added many more cards.

They expanded the deck beyond 25?

The card limit is still 25 but they have added two more pantheons since beta launch and are about to add 1-2 more.

That sounds like a 'no they haven't kind of answer, 25 cards isn't very many regardless of how many you get to choose from, which despite that answer, doesn't sound like all that many either.

Each pantheon only has between 25-39 cards so 25 cards per deck in this game is more than enough when you throw in a few neutral cards.
