    Interesting and fun game, it started as a browser based game and it's now available on Steam, with revamped multiplayer features. Every player interested in deck building/board/TBS games should give it a try.
    Might get repetitive after a while, even though the developers are introducing new expansions and different modes in the game.

    4/10 - An exellent game for what it tries to be, but an 80' cardboard tabletop combat game is simply to booring and repetitive to hold any kind of appeal to me. The nostalgia wore off after 5 hours, and that was that.

    Card Hunter is an RPG/Board game, the game is good for a Free2Play game but after you hit level 7 you need to repeat some levels to get more EXP and to get better items, and thats what i dont like about the game: Its too repetitive.
    Oh and you need to use real money to unlock some extra levels, but thats not so bad i suppose.

    This is not actually a new game, its a browser based game that's been available on several sites such as armor games and kongregate for a while. I write about this because it is a very fun game.

    The game involves taking a party of 3 characters through various turn based battles with a game master style dnd approach, its engaging and nostalgic. I would recommend you try it at least    This is not actually a new game, its a browser based game that's been available on several sites such as armor games and kongregate for a while.

    Great little TBS/digital board game... oh wait, not that little, it actually provides countless hours of fun and huge reliability. The best f2p I've played thus far. The model is far, definitely not p2w. If you enjoy collecting loot or if you love board games, this game is certainly worth checking out. Fun solo and even better with some buddies.

    I really liked this game, graphics could improve a bit tho, maybe better tilesets. Please add a steam DLC shop for the extra adventures pack and pizza slices, buying with steam wallet in dollars is not good.

    This game is the perfect blend of traditional PvP and tabletop gaming. The campaign is a well-written and engaging story, it has a perfect difficulty curve that always keeps the AI fresh, and it has mild replayability because each campaign level has challenge quests and because levels are often battled co-operatively with others. If PvP is more your thing you'll fit right in. There is aThis game is the perfect blend of traditional PvP and tabletop gaming. The campaign is a well-written and engaging story, it has a perfect difficulty curve that always keeps the AI fresh, and it has mild replayability because each campaign level has challenge quests and because levels are often battled co-operatively with others. If PvP is more your thing you'll fit right in. There is a deep meta that is continuously evolving and changes drastically every month with map rotations. People spy on other's games just to take notes on their builds. But don't be intimidated because most people playing PvP these days are newer players. The ranking system does a great job at making sure you play people with a similar item collection/ability level.

    Oh, and perhaps the best part about this game is that it is truly a free-to-play gem. Money can't be used to purchase specific high-tiered weapons. Random shop stock and chest openings prevent this game from being pay-to-win.

    But be warned, getting ahead in this game requires, not money, but time. I've invested only $10 in this game, but I've also invested 750 hours. Free-to-play gamers looking for a place they can settle into need look no further -- this game is perfect for you. Gamers who want to dabble with this an hour or two a month should just move along.    … Expand

    This game has a unique style that certainly piqued my interest back in the day. However, as I played through the game I found it pretty samey in its mechanics and gameplay loop. It lacked any sort of diversification to make it keep my attention for any meaningful amount of time. Once you get over the gimmick of its meta humor by emulating a TTRPG, you'll realize the game is surprisingly hollow.

    A curious and complex title, that will definitely satisfy those who love some good old turn based combat. When it comes to graphics is obviously pretty weak, but makes up for it with its great mechanics and fun challenge level.

    Card Hunter is a rare gem among free-to-play-games because its revenue model isn’t an all-consuming behemoth. The tabletop RPG with card battles is an excellent idea, it is a little grindy but at least it has a tiny story too. [Sept 2015]

    Card Hunter not only prides itself in capturing the spirit of tabletop gaming, but has also built a refreshing game on top of CCG concepts to bring tactical depth under its charming visuals, and best of all, it won’t cost you a penny to experience its joy.
