Early Access Review After 30h Playing time my Impression: All in all a very promising Game that is already a Lot of Fun.
Due to the Mixture of Collectible Card game and Chess, I find this Game much more strategic than Hearthstone, for example, and thus much more captivating.
Pro: + is a lot Of fun + is also absolutely Playable as a Free-to-Play + the current Starter packs are worth the Money if you want to progress faster + relatively good Balancing + not too long waiting times (currently so around the 20) 60S Contra:-now and then Bugs, and once the Spie Is L crashed after a Match, for a BETA but fine Balancing: The Reviews that the Game would be totally unbalanced I can not confirm. From my Point of view, it is relatively balanced, and if there really are even bigger problems, then these will certainly be fixed in future Updates (for that it is still beta).
So far I have mainly played with Zeus, Ra and Odin, and with all three you can win quite well if you use your Units and Spells wisely and get Lucky with the Cards. Ah Puch and Ganesha I have already tested and won some Games, but due to the small Number of Matches there is not much to say.
While it tends to be true that the Game is often (but not always) decided in the first 5-6 Moves, as there are many more Opportunities to build up its Strength after the snowball effect. But I find that's actually a Plus of the Game as so the Match is exciting from the first Minute, requires full concentration and every Decision has really strong Consequences.
But every now and then the Games are also relatively balanced until the End, and a hard-fought Win after such a long Battle then feels particularly good.
25 HP for the Crystals seems appropriate. According to current Experience, the Win Rate of Aggro vs Control is roughly Half-half.
Free-to-Play: There is a login bonus where you get 2 Card Packs for free each Week (1 direct and 1 in Value of Points). And in addition to the Quests, you have the Opportunity to earn points by climbing the Level of the individual Gods, with which you can then buy Card Packs. I bought the starter and the founder pack to support the Game and get good Cards a little faster, but even Free-to-Play you can work out the Packs with a bit Of Time.
Arena: At Hearthstone I had played more casual-wise and almost Free-to-Play, and only 2-3 Times Arena. I Was all the more surprised that I completed my first Arena fight at HotG With 7-3 (With Ra). So, in My Opinion, really worthwhile.
Clans: What's new is that you can join Clans of up to 30 Players where you can complete larger clan quests to get even more Packs free.
