    I was hoping for a better game than Hearthstone. Unfortunately this is not the case. The main problem with HS that it is mostly reliant on luck instead of brains. This problem unfortunately is multiplied here due to a hand always consisting of only 4 cards.The other big issue is that the game is pay2win. While in HS you have a pretty decent chance with a cheap, but well-crafted deck, inI was hoping for a better game than Hearthstone. Unfortunately this is not the case.

While in HS you have a pretty decent chance with a cheap, but well-crafted deck, in Earthcore you have absolutely zero chance to beat a player with significantly higher levels.
    Add in a gameplay mechanics that are too simple and cards that are over-the-top OP (overpowered) and you get a game which is a nice fix for about a week, then it wears thin pretty quickly. At least you can enjoy all features for free, the presentation is nice and the matchmaking is quick. Give it a try, you may like it more than I did.    … Expand

    An engaging card game with simple rules that offers a decent single player campaign and does not shove microtransactions down your throat. [08/2015, p.80]

    While it may be geared more towards hyper-competitive players with extra cash to burn, there’s still a lot to enjoy in EarthCore for even casual CCG fans. You may have to put up with some turbulence as you learn the ropes but the game’s seemingly simple yet addictingly fun premise is well worth the effort.

    Card game enthusiasts, in particular, will probably find a lot to like here. Tequila Games has a great creation here, and if it continues to update Earthcore and add new cards and challenges, I only see it getting better.
