    Fácil de jugar, difícil de dominar.

    Me es difícil reseñar objetivamente esta obra que se a llevado la mitad de mi tiempo y de mi sueldo. ¿Es Hearhstone un buen título? La respuesta que mi corazón grita es SI, pero analizándolo puede que parezca lo contrario. En esta obra controlamos 9 diferentes clases, cada una separada por su propio set de cartas que se complementan con un set
    Fácil de jugar, difícil de dominar.

    Me es difícil reseñar objetivamente esta obra que se a llevado la mitad de mi tiempo y de mi sueldo. ¿Es Hearhstone un buen título? La respuesta que mi corazón grita es SI, pero analizándolo puede que parezca lo contrario.

    En esta obra controlamos 9 diferentes clases, cada una separada por su propio set de cartas que se complementan con un set común que comparten todas las clases. Tanto los héroes como las cartas pertenecen al lore de Warcraft por lo que nos encontraremos personajes conocidos como Sylvanas, Jaina, Alamuerte, Thrall, entre varios otros iconos que los fans de Blizzard reconocen a la distancia.

    La experiencia de juego es de altísimo nivel, en esto Blizzard no falla y tiene la formula perfecta para contentar a sus jugadores como para atraer a un nuevo público. Recordemos que Hearthstone puede ser jugado desde un PC o desde dispositivos móviles lo que invita nuevos jugadores acceder a esta obra.

    ¿Entonces es todo perfecto en Hearthstone?, lamentablemente no lo es, al poco jugar te das cuenta que si no realizas compras de set de cartas no podrás acceder rápidamente a mazos competitivos, siempre esta la opción de jugarlo free to play pero tomará muuuuuuuuuucho tiempo poder tener todas las cartas competitivas.

    Existen varios modos de juegos siendo los modos "Casual" y "Ranked" los más populares, además de un sistema de tutorial y mini campañas que obtendrás al comprar las aventuras (expansiones).

    Finalmente al ser Hearthstone un juego "free to play / pay to win" recomiendo a todos que lo prueben de forma gratuita y queda en cada uno de ustedes el libre albedrío de pagar por el o no.

    For a casual game, this one makes it alright, having chance to F2P to shine on this, making the fact of paying just a shortcut to get a wider collection with more possibilities. This doesn't mean that a focused F2P can make a goal to make certain deck, dominate it and conquer the ladder, something I already did.

    Many negative reviews here come from people who lack the skill to play and

    Many negative reviews here come from people who lack the skill to play and the courage to admit they are not good enough to adapt to the shifting metagames, punishing hard the game for something that Blizzard didn't do wrong, and remember that TCGs aren't for everyone, they got a specific niche in a way other games such as Dark Souls saga or the last Super Mario Bros installments have.

    Variety of classes with their own specific ways to win and control the board, tons of neutral minions to complete your custom deck, it becomes a cycle of build, play, fail, rebuild, play and fail again until you get a decent deck and the vision of how to play it, which is enough to get wins in this game. Very recommendable, more now that you can play on your phone as well.

I spent a good amount of time on this game to conclude that this game works, and it works great, even if this is really a game of roll-the-dice. The graphics and layout look so slick its pleasing to the eye. Each individual 1v1 game has an interactable battlefield of some WoW location, which allows you to speak to your opponent through emotes. Each card has the WoW art with different effects that are appropriate to the character. You get gold from daily quests and winning games to earn packs, which can give you some legendary WoW characters that look great. You can get even more packs through arena battles or tavern brawls, which are games with specific rules added every few days. What this game has that other card games don't offer is the ability to disenchant your own cards and craft ones you want. To speed up the card count, of course you would need to add in a bit of money.

    This game looks, runs and feels great. However, gameplay itself in a 1v1 match does not feel too great. I found myself begging to draw a certain card or hope he does not draw a certain effect. This game is very RNG-based, and only some skill and knowledge is involved. It comes to the point where every little thing counts if RNG is acting similarly to both players. But overall, this is an enjoyable game and collecting shiny gold cards and crafting legend-worthy decks is serious fun.

    A really good game ruined by the poor pay 2 win experience.

Cons: -You can't get new cards, literally, even if you play 24 hours per day, some cards are impossible to get if you don't spend any money. And this, in a card game is

    True Score: 8.6

    Pros:
    - Smooth and clear UI
    - Father of online CCG
    - Warcraft characters and lore
    - Adventures have fun mechanics and characters full of life

    Cons:
    - Pay to win (or play forever)
    - Terrible learning curve to be competitive
    - Everyone netdecks
    - Blizzard is often too slow to respond or patch things
    - Infrequent updates
    - Character skins for $10?????
    - Too much RNG
    - Often little counterplay

    While the pros/cons seem ridiculously skewed towards the negative, to be fair there is a reason why I have played this game for so long. It does what it does extremely well and even though there are a ton of aspects of this game that bother me, I still come back time and time again as IMO it remains the king of online CCG.

    Love this game, play it every now and then. I have to say, that I don't play regular ranked as much, as I rather play the Battlegrounds mode and the occasional duels/arena. Highly rate that, but I do acknowledge that this game definitely has some pay 2 win issues if playing the regular ranked game mode. But for a free game, you can have a lot of fun without spending a dime.

    This game is a fuc**ng mystery for me, as i love watching streams of it. The game gives time to think and talk with viewers and that's awesome but nothing else. The gameplay is boring and hasn't anything special. Soudns are really good and i have to say it but i'm not the kind of person that likes games for soundtrack :/

    Super great game that is balanced really well. It's easily my favorite card game experience in recent years. The only problem (and it's a pretty major one) is the fact that it's basically pay to win.

Короче контента очень много.Я бы даже сказал на эту тему матом, но не буду :)
    Ну и так по мелочи. Типа того , что игра по Варику и всё такое(стримы,большое коммьюнити)

    P.s. Про минусы, которые в каждом первом отрицательном обзоре.
    Да донат присутствует, но всё можно получить бесплатно. В отличие от ... опять же привет жирному Гейбу.
    Арены можно катать бесконечно. В ладдер пускают не за донат. Бесплатного контента овер дофига 1им словом.А уж задонатив, можно собрать все компететив деки разом , так что не надо тут гнать ...

    В то же время,на рынке ККИ нет ничего лучше(кроме MTG)но разработчики на отъебись относятся к нерфам карт и в целом с каждым дополнением игра выдыхается.

On top of THAT, there are no cards in this game that automatically hand you a win on a silver platter, you need to either boost your skill, or play dungeon runs and bot matches.

    Just like any other Blizzard game, Hearthstone's gameplay and the balance can go from horrible to the best in a few patches. Very heavily relies on constant updates, without it the game would've died years ago.

    This is the best card game you can play. Unfortunately it falls into the same trap that all collectable card games fall into. Too many cards get created and the game shifts dynamics ans deprecates your collection. $300 into the rabbit hole and I had to quit.

    When Blizzard announced they were making a digital CCG, we all expected it to look and sound beautiful, and there was little doubt that it would be well-balanced, but I don’t think anyone anticipated this level of sophistication and subtle brilliance.

    Simple rules, high production values, low system requirements and huge tactical freedom make Hearthstone one of the best card games available. And if you take into account the free-to-play model – it’s the best one. [05/2014, p.62]

    A fine example of a great free-to-play game. Hearthstone is not only an addictive and well designed card game, but absolutely fair with gamers that do not wish to spend money on it.
