    Adventure Time: Card Wars is an impeccably designed card-battler with the show’s signature humor generously slathered over it. Don’t be turned off by the energy mechanics — this is one game that makes that minor annoyance worth tolerating.

    Card Wars – Adventure Time isn’t perfect, but as Finn and Jake might say, it’s a lot closer to being a cool guy than a dweeb. And no one likes being called a dweeb.

    In the end, if you enjoy Adventure Time and especially if you’ve seen the episode this game is based on, there’s a nice little game to enjoy here.

    Card Wars is fantastic up until the free-to-play aspects become apparent, which is a problem in a game that has an up front cost.

    A light but fun and well-presented game that struggles under the weight of gratuitous IAPs.

    A solid CCG, Card Wars – Adventure Time unfortunately undermines itself with poor implementation of its in-app purchases.

    This game is super fun and addictive.
    I was genuinely impressed how well they came up with fun an functioning card game from a few min of a show.
    Not sure why so much negativity about the microtransactions though.
    Sure, you *can* buy packs and whatnot, but you don't have to, and it's not necessary.
    You can the ability to get packs and whatnot just by playing the game.
    I've spent 30+ hours playing with zero microtransactions.

    It's super fun. Don't worry about the microtransactions.

Puzzles like Smartball Gravity Games or Glow Puzzle is better that way as they are truly free. I still give it 9 as it beats many repetitive games that quickly become boring. Expand

Firstly, the gameplay is decent as stated by boingMan (yet he gave it a 1?). It's a fun "pick up and play a few rounds" type of game not meant for long sessions. Single player is entirely enjoyable without micro transaction. My pvp experience was also fair. I'd call it an above average game especially coming from an already established franchise where they could have just made no effort. While i do admit micro transactions are the only thing keeping this game form attaining a higher score, but hey what can you do cartoon network gotta get their money back somehow. Expand

While pay-to-play gets a lot of complaints,This game is a great concept, but is ruined by very frustrating bugs due to poor implementation. While pay-to-play gets a lot of complaints, that is not the major problem. The major problem is that even if you are willing to pay, you often lose what you have acquired due to software glitches. Twice I have purchased gems and opened Algebraic chest and gotten excellent cards (gold legion of earlings, gold corn ronin). I played with them for more than a week. Then at one point when I returned to the app after suspending it, it rebooted and when it came back my gems were restored and all of my cards were lost. This has happened twice and it is a major source of frustration. I am fine with in-game purchases, but they need to be implemented in a professional way so you don't pay for things and then just lose them. Shame on the developers for doing such a poor job. Expand

    The pay to play model used is a massive disservice to the franchise of a fine show, to the developers of an otherwise good game, to the videoThe pay to play model used is a massive disservice to the franchise of a fine show, to the developers of an otherwise good game, to the video game industry, and above all to the fans and would-be customers. You make people pay $3.99 for the game without any indication that they would potentially have to pay more money later. This is incredibly dishonest and greedy and shouldn't even be legal. If there are going to be pay to play fees then it should be free to start. Although honestly I would much rather pay $10-15 for a complete game to begin with.

    This is an anti-consumer money grab and its not at all mathematical.
