Clash of Cards reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from French
This game is bad in so many ways. People might think I exagerate but I don't. I play a lot of card games and when I COMPARE to other games I'Ve played, it's easy to know that his game has very bad, bad, bad design. - ALL the cards need to be clicked on if you want to have a, wait for it, FULL SCREEN VIEW of what they do. Otherwise you are voluntarily making an incomplete/flawed strategic choice. And guess what. Click on ALL the enemie's cards too because otherwise you are voluntarily making an incomplete/flawed strategic choice. - Since this game is bad in every way, you can't memorize the cards because there are too many of them (60+ cards in the starting deck ????), and there are too many "criterias" perd card. Which brings me to the next point. - Too many "criterias" per card. "Immune to this and that, ignores this and that, is that type of damage, buffs/debuffs this and that, is that type of race, annihilates that type of enemy because why not", etc. It's a chore to decide what card you're gonna play. Which brings me to the next point. - you play ONE card per turn, which reduces strategy to 1) click all cards that you don't know about (which is MOST of them unless you play 10+ hours with the same race) 2) find the obvious hard counter, play it 3) don't feel rewarded at all - you draw ONE card per turn. They don't have a cost. Sometime you draw a card that will instantly kill a card, sometime you draw a card that will instantly get killed by your opponent if you play. But rest assured, you will only draw one. Have fun - Quests : It doesn't feel like quests. It feels like "click on the image, read 3 sentences, play cards". - Matchups : some are completely unbalanced, you try 5 times before succeeding, you're not sure why, you should have read EVERYTHING about EACH card so you could have known. Sometimes you win 3 battles in a row, sometimes you feel like it's because you played first or "the AI didn't drop some card in front of some card of yours, he dropped it in front of another one which you didn't read about", or something embarrassing like that. I know I know, this evaluation sounds like pure bashing. It's not. I'm just saying how the game feels, and works. - Decks : I made a custom deck. Didn't find how to use it. Campaign mode seems to auto-select the starting deck. I don't know. I don't feel like I should SEARCH for how you pick and use a deck. This game is so bad... I feel sorry for the designers. - Other stuff... : I played a game where every card cancelled each other out. It wouldn't end. I dealt no damage, they didn't either. Immune to this, immune to that. Too much armor on both sides... hahaha. - Other stuff... : you spend at least 20% of the game SKIPPING YOUR TURN because your board is full and you have no spell to play. You just watch the AI die while hearing bad sound effects. POSITIVE REMARK : beautiful cards. 9.5/10.
