Urban Rivals

Okay, here's what to say about Urban Rivals: Urban Rivals is a trading Card Online game, where you put your deck together and fight in small +/- 5 minute Matches against each other. Every Card belongs to a Clan and there are many, many clans in this game, while about once per year, a new clan gets released. I will explain the Gameplay first and after that i'll count every pro and con of this game and give a short explanation. Don't be fooled by my Ingame time, i started playing this game 7 years ago. The Gameplay: You have a Deck with at least 8 Cards in it. When you start a match, 4 of those cards will be randomly chosen, those are the cards you'll use in the fight. Every Card/Character has their own Level, you can level your cards up by gaining experience for them, which you get by fighting. Also every Character has two values: Power and Damage. The Power value shows how strong your Character is in fighting other characters, while the Damage shows, how much damage the Character will deal against another player, if he wins the fight. You also start every normal match with 12 Hitpoints and 12 "Pillz". You can use those Pillz to increase a characters Attack Value, the Attack Value starts with the Power of a character and every Pillz will add the Power value to that. So for example: Your Character has 5 Power. This means his Attack Value is also 5. If you use 3 Pillz, your Character will gain 3x5 Attack, so your Attack Value is 20. Also almost every Character has a Skill and a Clan Bonus. The Skill is usually unlocked, when the Character reaches it's final Level Up, those Skills can have many different effects, they can Heal you, Poison your enemy, Decrease or increase stats etc. The Clan Bonus is activated when you have at least two characters of the same clan on your hand. The effect depends on the Clan, some are better, some worse. The Match is over if everyone played their whole hand (so after 4 rounds) in this case the player with more HP wins, or if one of the players HP reach 0. Outside of the Matches, you can buy Cards for Clintz from other Players on the Market, or buy booster Packs for credits. Credits are the buyable currency, but there are many other ways to get them for example play tournaments. I heard people complaining about the game being pay2win, but you can easily get a more than decent Deck without paying a cent. Also there are Missions where you can get Cards, Credits and Clintz. The only disadvantage you can have is at the beginning, if people bought boosters but even that is rare. Pros: - A huge variety of Cards - Many Clans (28 Clans and theres one new one every year) - No Pay2Win - Overall Friendly community - Charming - Easy to Understand Cons: - Many of the older Cards are much to weak - Steam/Desktop Version are 1:1 the same as the Smartphone Ver sions - Can get really grindy - Can be hard/frustrating at the beginning Overall you can say that UR is a easy to learn TCG which is nice to play once in a while, but there is one thing i want to say: Play it in the Browser , do not play the Steam or Desktop Version, because the UI there is terrible
