Fun game, some problems though
Thu Mar 09 2023 HeldunI downloaded this game on whim and it is fun, I have played it very frequently since I downloaded it. However, there are some things that could be improved. The amount of high level characters that are out of reach my FTP players is wild, I have spent some money on the game, but many people will not, and it alienates non-paying players by not giving them more opportunities to get strong, high level characters. Another issue is the artifact upgrade system. It is far too expensive to upgrade your artifacts. There are different ways to fix this, either take away the gold cost, take away the chance for the upgrade to fail, or make it to where the gold is only taken if the upgrade succeeds. I should not have to spend thousands and thousands of gold coins only for the upgrade to ultimately fail and I’m left with nothing to show for it. Finally, high level players get high level rewards, which makes sense, however, this also means that the top players stay at the top and lower level players have no way to get Meat, Legendary characters, or blue/pink/rainbow coins. After a while lower level players will stop playing because they will stagnate and get bored.
If I continue to play I won’t be spending anymore money unless issues like these and others mentioned in previous reviews are fixed.
Not Worth It
Mon Jul 17 2023 mattandersonThis game is really fun for the first 6 hours, Afterwords it becomes an incredibly slow grind. Which is also a pay to win system. I have been playing the game for 2 months now, and at first I really like the potential of the game, I love the upgrade mechanics of the cards. Do Not Buy Anything on this game: it is a rigged system, I spent 40$ for a value pack, and my draws got me nothing good and of value. In fact most of the coins you get to collect new/stronger cards will most likely give you the lowest rarity in the game. I regret ever spending money on this game and highly recommend everyone to not spend money. As for the content, after the first 6 hours of the game, it is almost not worth playing. You don’t get good upgrades, or new cards easily. In order to get more supplies as well this game requires you to watch ads in order to actually get good at the game with more materials. Needs Updating and More Content Content: there is no in game chat to talk to other players, and no guilds even though there is a status on every player that says they aren’t even in a guild. The events are always lame and leaderboard based. I’m not happy with the: game for lack of improvement, pay to win, lots of ads, and hard to get high level characters, as well as low character draws. I am happy with: the character cards, upgrade system (equipment, souls) to level up, fighting mechanics, arena, fight aesthetics. Wish this game was better, honestly.
3 stars for a reason
Fri Mar 31 2023 DongottieGGOk hear me out the game is super dope the graphics the unique cards the design the game play is an overall 10 but bro the prices to advance in the game is super unrealistic and out of order you have game packs for 50$ just to go and find the same exact thing in a different pack for 25$ it’s insane that’s like here buy this candy for 50$ just to find it in the same store for 25$ there’s no explanation on why the packs are cheaper the game is extremely pay to win there is no room for us guys that like to play don’t get me wrong I spent like 10$ already just to advance in the game if this game is strictly pay to win could you advertise that also there is no guide on the cards in the tower im losing to guys that had 2 star cards while mine is 4 star it makes no sense if certain cards are stronger then others we need to be informed I was lucky enough to pull a legendary card he’s literally stronger then my hero and my hero is 6 stars makes no sense at all in the PvP tower I’m going up against guys with power 50x stronger then mines that also needs to be fixed this game has so so so much potential it just needs major adjustments I feel like it’s one of those money grabbing games that doesn’t care about us players honestly if I could have some feedback or something I’d feel much more comfortable
Too Tedious For Free Players
Fri Jul 21 2023 SpringReviewsThe base gameplay IS somewhat fun, but progression is painfully slow for free players, ads and “special offers” feel endless and as a whole this game simply asks/expects too much of players. There are daily bonuses that only trigger after THREE HOURS of gameplay, for example, which feels ultra excessive and unreasonable to ask someone to play a mobile game for each day. The black hole of power creep is endless here between leveling up units, evolving them, ascending them, leveling up their skills, leveling up equipment… To TRULY have a maxed out team you’d conservatively spend thousands of dollars, likely far closer to tens of thousands of dollars, and as a free player this goal would be completely unreachable with any amount of grinding. The game also has other predatory “please spend money” systems in place such as an energy system that you can, of course, spend premium currency to instantly refill. I enjoyed my time with Black Deck but even in the first few days I felt it starting to wear on me and I think I’d be beyond sick of it if I forced myself to play daily for six months or anything along those lines. For me, getting away from this before I sink more time into an ultimately hopeless endeavor for those of us unwilling to bust out our credit cards is the right decision.
I enjoy the game but….
Fri Oct 06 2023 MaigeshengIts REALLY REALLY REALLY slow for free players. I’d probably spend a few bucks here and there for some boosters but, the shop offers are SUPER expensive in real money. It’s shocking to me that anyone would spend $50USD on a single package of items to barely improve gameplay odds when you can get an amazing, highly developed XBox game for about the same price. It’s ridiculous. I watch TONS of ads in this game but the ad rewards are very very low. Like, you need to watch a dozen of them for barely any increase. I’ll keep playing. Day by day cause it’s something to do. But I haven’t made any improvement in literally a month. If you’re free to play, I’d say: either expect to move really really slowly or, just go ahead and uninstall. If you’re spending $50 USD every week or more than that….. you’re an idiot. What a waste of money. Is it your mom’s credit card or are you just that rich?? 😂
*update after response from developer:
Your automated response didn’t address a single thing I mentioned. Why even bother responding at all? I’m ok with ads. I use them for little boosts all the time but those boosts are way too low. Watch an ad to turn 180 gold into 300 gold, when you need 50,000 gold? It’s pretty ridiculous. And for the record, when I “watch” the ads I usually put my phone down and go to the bathroom or something 😂
Fun, but
Sat Apr 08 2023 Maroch0This game is quite fun. It’s similar to a lot of games, but it goes about things in a creative way and the card art is pretty stellar.
My biggest gripe, however, is that you cannot pay to skip ads. This game hits you with like 10 “special offers” and even has a subscription service as well as paid calendar rewards. Even if you’re a VIP though, you’re still stuck watching ads which is really unfortunate. I’d be willing to accept the grind a little bit more if the subscription service included skippable ads, but as it stands now, I’m not going to pay $5 a month AND have to stop every 30 seconds just to get a regular amount of rewards or an extra 1 star summon. For such a grindy game, it just comes across as a little extra greedy than your average devs unfortunately…
I don’t even mind that like 70% of the special offers are for like $50. I think there’s even one that’s ON SALE for $120. That’s cool for the whales that want to do that. I, on the other hand, am willing to just do the subscription and hit a couple $5-$10 offers when they come… but not with all these ads man… if nothing changes soon, I’ll have to pass on this one which is a shame because it actually is quite fun.
Review of artifacts and deck power
Tue Oct 17 2023 XGlitch01I think the dev should look into the gaming system more, I’ve wasted a lot of coin woke all the night for to upgrade an artifact that still will fail despite many trial I had sell some artifacts, blackdeck is interesting but some challenges I went through to get some token and still can’t get a decent card when I used my token, it getting hard to moved on and I checked in the leagues the queue doesn’t seems like a league I can be into anytime soon with time spent on the game, cause I kept tracked of the leagues I’m in and nothing changed, I’ve been getting whacked by some low decks player over and over since the new update and it doesn’t look like my deck is worst cause they won for me when the other players challenge my card but when I did same I don’t get the same result even against those I’d won a dueled with, please look into the way coins are spent it really blowing up coins account and some other coins can be introduce to make sure we don’t have to always tons of coins to get things done without certainty of getting the upgrade done. And deck power sure seems like it doesn’t mean anything to some players.
Overall good game but needs some improvement
Sat Apr 01 2023 OliveGardenWifiOverall I enjoy the game, I find the play fun and I expect a bit of a grind, but you eventually hit a wall where it’s almost entirely luck to get passed unless you want to shell out hundreds of dollars on this game.
Between not enough gold drops, arena matchmaking being a complete joke cause it constantly shows you players with deck power twice yours you don’t stand a chance and you’ll be lucky to get more than 2 people you can actually win against unless you want to spend diamonds to constantly refresh, not to mention the AI in this game is a joke and will just Throw matches by attacking with your hero when it really shouldn’t and cards just being inconsistent because I’ve had numerous instances of playing against cards that are just broken when other people use them but when I use them they get immediately one shot by something with less power despite having armor and them not having pierce, and to top off it the cost of leveling is ridiculous and the sparring pit not stacking levels makes it so you have to constantly check it or end up losing time you could be leveling a card up.
Pay to win game
Sat Feb 18 2023 (Riddler)5They are constantly pushing offers on you, the percentage you get for being able to get high end cards is near 1%. It’s almost impossible to get legendary Tokens from challenges and tournaments. They put you up against players that have bought their way to the top of the leaderboard of your bracket so it’s pointless to compete for them. I’ve spent a total of 25-30 dollars on the game and literally feel like it was pointless. To buy a legendary token is around 40-60 dollars depending on the deal and offer at the time. Even then tho you aren’t guaranteed a high end card such as a epic or legendary, because like I said it’s literally a 1% chance. Right now they have a event going on based off of summoning new cards and it literally says the percentage of drawing a legendary went up to 5%! They act Like that’s a huge deal or something. At this point I’ll end up dropping the game for something that isn’t online based because it seems all online based games are pay to win at this point.
Could be great but is far from it. The greed is real
Mon Jul 31 2023 XBC-CZW-DGFI am trying soo hard to enjoy this game. It has the potential to be amazing. But is so far from it. Its soooooo pay to play. And the bundles they have are insanely over priced i mean they should be ashamed of it. And im sure theres people who pay it unfortunately. Its so hard to make coins in the game that you almost need to buy them to stay caught it. I shamefully bout a $2 bundle once and the coins were gone in seconds. The upgrade option for items so the dumbest thing ever. If i have the money to upgrade said item then it should be upgraded not theres a chance for it to upgrade because for every successful upgrade past level 8 it seems there are 15+ fails which is 15+ amounts of coins wasted. The ridiculously hard coins to get. Gone and used for nothing just like that. Even the missions give you little to no coins. I burn through 57 stamina and get maybe 1200 coins which counts for 4 upgrades maybe once you pass level 10. They are soo greedy with this game it’s unbelievable but believable at the same time because its the truth. I Dont Know how much more i have to give this game. I wouldn’t suggest this game to anyone. But play and learn for yourselfs.
