    Curse is a 20$ expansion for Hearthstone that doesnt offer much in terms of replayability or fun. Essentially you pay to be able to grind and get a set of cards which are notably overpowered as of August 2014. If you do not pay, you will face players with those cards and they will annoy you greatly.

    Arachnid Quarter, Plague Quarter, Now Military Quarter. All of these are attempting to present unique fights, but instead of using strong, balanced decks, most of the fights and bosses feel like gimmicks. There's no fun in those fights, they are either pushovers or ridiculously frustrating (as in the case of invulnerable death knight). At no point does it actually become "Fun".

    The AI is not good, it just has no idea how to play those decks successfully. It would be much more fun if players were allowed to roleplay bosses "Arena style".

    The "Epic" challenges are just ridiculous exercise in "concede>concede>concede" till you draw your perfect deck. And guess what? Defeating those bosses does nothing, there's no reward

    To conclude, for 20$ you get 4 wings (1 free), each one less than an hour content that you are unlikely to ever touch again after getting the reward.    … Expand

    Games are fun, fast paced, addicting.
    On the higher 'ranks' winning can be real struggle you must stay focused and THINK.

    I'd recommend it to every card games fan.    … Expand

    Hearthstone was already fun at its launch. However, with the Curse Of Naxxaramas expansion, the playability and card pool increases exponentially, possibility adding in new strategies and fun ways to experiment with the cards.

    Rubbish as their usual stuff nowadays. Do you like boring grinding as replayability or being milked for money? Then actiBlizzard is the right company for your games. I still cry a little everytime I think of blizzard pre WoW.

    Naxxramas is a really good expansion. When I started playing Hearthstone, it was already an integral part of it and I can't even imagine Hearthstone without it. It would be like playing Warcraft 3 without Undead Horde. I like many of the Naxx cards, I like the dark humour atmosphere, Naxxramas is definitely much better expansion than Goblins vs. Gnomes.

For a long time, it was also the only real single-player adventure you could get and that's always welcome. Grinding 3500 gold to unlock all wings was a bit of a long-stretch quest and it got annoying, but at least you can get it this way for free, so I shouldn't complain. 7/10… Expand

    Unstable connections + rigged win/lose system. The more you pay - the more lucky card draws you'll get. Also a lot of bots that play withour mistakes, farming gold/rank/arena.

    "Curse of Naxxramas" marked the beginning of a long line of adventures in Hearthstone, and boy, was it something special when it first landed. The concept behind it was just fantastic, and it set the stage for what was to follow.

    Curse of Naxxramas adds a new magic to Hearthstone. [Oct 2014]

    'Curse of Naxxramas' is an expansion positioned towards more seasoned players, acting as welcome respite from the climb of the Ranked ladder or the unpredictable gauntlet of the Arena, and rewards with powerful cards you'll keep using long after it's over.

    The single-player feels more like a puzzle, but the new cards make this essential for vets. [Nov 2014, p.69]
