    The way the game plays is absolutely great. I love mixing a Card Desk Game with Turn based strategy combat. Take any Youtube video to see how the game plays. It will tell you much more than words.

    Why 7 as a mark then? Because of the cons: - only 60 spells (of which only 24 creatures) to cast. This is ridiculously small... - from this point: you are not able customize your desk.

    Why 7 as a mark then? Because of the cons:

    - only 60 spells (of which only 24 creatures) to cast. This is ridiculously small...
    - from this point: you are not able customize your desk.

    Your desk has about 15-20 cards in combat. The cards you have in your deck are completely randomized. You can slightly adjust deck creation randomness with Talismans and Staves, some of which can provide you 100% chance of getting a certain card in your deck.

    This is a 20E game, not a 5E one... Why so few spells? Why not being able to customize your deck?

    20EUR... No real single player campaign, only 60 spells, no faction / race, no customized deck creation... I'm sorry but this is a RIPOFF!!

    At this point I am sorry to say that Etherlords is by far superior. Ok Etherlords is a pure Card game but it has a campaign, it is a very good "Heroes of Might and Magic" style game (map, buildings, resources, enemies on the map) with a great combat system (card like).

    Etherlords has 4 races, more than 300 spells, it has heroes and battle mode allows you to fully customize your deck. And it trades for 5EUR!!!!

    If Chaos Reborn at least triples the number of available spells and creatures and adds more ability to customize your desk it would be a REAL 9/10.    … Expand

    While it has many good points solid turn based system the real problem is in single player and how they decided to implement and force you on a set path of coop if they wont change that i am against it

    I don't get this game and stopped after playing though the tutorials and completing the first map conquest. The game is ridiculously random and this is not a good thing.

    All of combat seems to be "who can cast gooey blob the other guy first". That's it. Seriously, gooey blob kills enemy mages in 1 turn, making tactics kinda pointless, it's run up, cast gooey blob, wait for the enemy to    I don't get this game and stopped after playing though the tutorials and completing the first map conquest.

    After I complete the map, I don't really see much point in continuing - it does not appear like I can actually build my deck. I can pick some staves that have certain decks linked to them, I can add amulets that add certain cards to the deck, but other than that, it's purely random cards.    … Expand

    This is the ultimate definition of "taking your chances" type of game. You'll lose many tutorial battles based on missing 4 attacks in a row with a 60% of hit-chance. Other than that it's a solid game and if you like number crunching you should give it a try.

    I backed this game on Kickstarter and got mostly what I expected and more. The team just kept adding more to the game and suddenly it transformed from the simple little strategy gem i admired into a full blown campaign with lots of rules and multiple styles of play. It is a fun little game for fans of X-COM, Archon, or any similar turn based strategy titles.

    Strategy game from the classic of the genre is not based on nostalgia, but on the flawless turn-based core around which better and better game is evolving even months after the release.

    An ideal choice for strategists and those who don’t get discouraged by random factor of success and failure. Sophisticated tactical fun is hidden beneath the cover of randomness. [Issue # 261]

    It's a great tactical experience per se, and also a nostalgic homage to a masterpiece of old, one that will really please fans of the genre.
