    The game is ok, it's kinda fun at once, specially if you haven't played any card game before, visually it's quite rich and it's great that you can find game in just 5 seconds.

    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.    … Expand

    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 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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    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.

    At a first glance, a superior CCG, as it succeeds in combining very simple game mechanics with a lot of charme, attractive and really different classes, permanent updates and a solid amount of depth, as no other game does.

    After the first euphoria, however, it gets clear that the game suffers from a lot of downsides as well:

    Players are pushed to spend money, and therefore, average opponents have very strong cards, against which it is hard to compete, even on the lower levels and unranked play.
    Be prepared for LOTS of frustration and unfairness, if you choose to play this game for free, or anything below, at the very least, 100 Dollar.

    Additionaly, randomness plays a bigger role in this game that it should. Too often are games decided by certain, game-breaking cards, lucky or unlucky draws or uncontrollable effects (f.e cards that deals x to y damage to all enemies, cards that attack a random character...).

    Then, the small card-pool leaves very little room for individualism, which has lead to a pool of "standard-decks", that you will find over and over, and that players with ambitions will need to use to reach higher ranks.

    And finally, the balance is suboptimal.
    First of all, does the second player get a significant advantage: not only does he get to choose between four starting cards instead of three, he also gets a card, that costs 0, grants one mana and counts as a spell!
    And then, no matter how good you play and how well your deck is prepared:
    If you are unlucky enough to face certain, usually legendary cards and are not in the position to deal with them immediately or finish the game within the next round, you will most likely lose.
    Examples would be Archmage Antonidas, which creates a fireball (costs 4, deals 6 damage) in the players hand for each spell he casts, inclusing those generated fireballs, or Echoing Ooze, which costs 2 and creates a duplicate of itself, including all buffs, at the end of the turn.

    Those downsides dont make Hearthstone a bad game on their own, as the game has to offer a lot as well. But only for those, that are in the comfortable position to build a deck thats strong enough to compete with every class and level...

    Finalizing, this could have been the best CCG of all time. In its very core, there really is an outstanding game. And if you get to the point where you can build yourself a high-end deck you really like, and only then, immense fun, extreme challenging gameplay and endless amounts of replayablity await.
    Thats also the point, where farming stops feeling like a neverending journey of stress and suffering, and begins to feel rewarding. You will get to love to get awarded, and to increase your collection, just by playing.

    Until you reach that point of comfort, however, you will learn to hate this game from the deepness of your heart. Playing will feel like work, progresses will hardly be noteable, you will get stuck in ranked play fast and other players will trample over you with their high-budget decks.

    Ive gone through both phases and talk by experience.

    So, do i recommend Hearthstone?
    If you dont plan to buy yourself into the game, this game doesnt have much good to offer, will annoy you much more than it will reward and i seriously recommend to skip Hearthstone and every other F2P or P2P competetor and play a CCG with no or little P2W aspects.
    If you like CCGs and are in the position and willing to spend a good amount of money into this game, this game is definitely worth it, will offer a good cost-benefit ratio and will reward you with a well amount of pleasure...    … Expand

    a Simple simplistic card game, and to be competitive you HALF to throw money at it.

    Blizzard keeps and keeps trying to steal money from our pockets with mediocre games like Diablo 3 Auction house and now a card game that makes you pay to win.

    Fact is blizzard has took the greed route with garbage infested cash shop games.

    I've never been one for card games, the learning curve always seemed very high, however hearthstone holds your hand enough to get some enjoyment out of the game, and before you know it you are figuring out good combos by yourself and having fun. The visual feedback is remarkably well done, but not over done and it is kindof calming.

    Honestly, if Hearthstone just keeps stall warrior at bay and continues to balance the game, so you can make whatever deck you want. Then it is like a 8.5 out of 10.

    Having a physical companion game would be nice, and instant open all packs would be nice as well.

    They do great promotions for the game, which I appreciate that.

    This game is addicting! I can say that for sure!

    Blizzard has done a damn good job on this one its not Starcraft or Diablo but its bloody amazing. However the Tutorial is very long you have to complete a whole 6 bosses before you can start playing. Thats annoying I can tell you that. The ranked is infuriating but when you win a match you feel unstoppable. I lost 21 games in a row then    This game is addicting! I can say that for sure!

You need to win like 3 and then you get between 20-50 gold and 5 cards are 100. So thats where the "FREE"-TO-PLAY aspect comes in. It is good at heart and I would very much you recommend playing it! It is not worth a 0.

    Pros
    - Intentness
    - Ranked is Hard but rewarding
    - Joy of getting good cards

    - Dont get much gold for winning

    While you're not likely to getting to legend anytime quickly, it doesn't take too much dedication to build up a good collection of cards. Despite what some seem to say, pay to win is not as much an issue in this game as it is in many because there are lots of competitive decks that are really easy to make. Sure, you won't be making a successful control warrior anytime quickly, but after a few weeks of casual playing, you'll likely have everything a competitive Zoo (there are plenty of other cheap decks as well, just that zoo is the most iconic) deck needs to function.

    You can't count on getting the legendaries you want from packs, but it isn't too hard to save up dust for rares and epics, which have a great diversity of powerful cards to choose from. Even with the best deck money can buy, you can still easily lose to a cheaper one that counteracts its weaknesses, so while money is helpful (as to be expected) it most certainly doesn't make the game unplayable without it.

    My account is entirely free to play, and I can comfortably get to rank 5 each month, if I have the time at least. The daily quests give you the gold you need to buy lots of packs, and good arena runs will give you great rewards too. Your daily quests run out of course, but if you only play this game every three days or so like me, then it will take an hour or two to complete them all anyway, by which point you'll probably have gained your fix for the game, and you'll be a lot richer for it too.

    It is of course, very easy for sore losers and people who haven't learnt how to play efficiently, to simply brand the game free to pay. Fact of the matter is, that so long as you don't mind spending a few months building up your collection, you'll be fighting with the best of them. And if you aren't, then maybe instead of blaming the game for your lack of progress, you can impart some on your own inabilities.    … Expand

    Yes it's a card game, which means it's extremely RNG based game, and blizzard actively encourages RNG factor by putting in cards which have random effects.

    I would have given it 7/10 on purely game-play performance. Unfortunately the game even after a year of it's release is still constantly plagued by blizzard sever/connection issues. In other words it's a complete technical disaster, so on top of RNG rage, you will rage for loosing games because of desync, disconnect etc.    … Expand

    This is a great game... at first. It has beautiful artwork and graphical flair. There's definitely a depth of strategy to figure out. The sounds are hilarious for anyone familiar with WoW.
    But eventually, you'll realize you're getting destroyed by people with a deck full of epic and legendary cards. In other words, it's a free-to-play, pay-to-win game.

    Pros:

    1) "Deceptively simple and insanely fun" as they market is, really stands. Game is very fun and after several games you can easily get hooked. Although it is simple to begin, you soon realise it's depth of card combinations and strategies.

    2) Free to play - who wouldnt like that, fast download, and you are ready to go

    3) Nice and cosy game UI in Warcraftish style

    4) Games are fast - takes from 5 to 20 mins, depending on lengths of game and speed of players.

    Now the cons:

    1) Progress in terms of your strength 90% comes from new cards. New cards you can unlock with in-game currency "gold", or real life money via in-game shop. Unlocking with currency is of course way to slow, so after you get hokked up, you will need and want to spend lots of money to be able to compete with other players. So yes, it is 100% pay to win game. Even you will hear stories that this or that guy won a tournament with only basic cards deck, truth is you will never come more then rank 18 with them.

    2) Matchmaking system is terrible, there is no way to play against opponents who have similar "strength" cards available. Once you hit "magic" rank 20, game will start matching you with players tossing exlusivly magic (rare and legendary) cards from turn one onward. OFC your chance to win those matches is terrible.

    3) Game also has design flaws, so high ranked (read: powerful decks) players are motivated to de-level by auto surrendering games, in order to grind max daily allowed 100 gold faster the they would on their real rank. That also make it harder for new players to win. It is pretty clear this is allowed so new players would feel urge to alos have that "good" cards as soon as possible, and rush to in-game shop to buy packs of cards.

    4) With every expansion there are new cards (read "stronger"), and if you dont spend real life money, you will always stay behind.

    My current opinion is that I will not stick to the game becasue of their money grab business model.    … Expand

    For a card game, Hearthstone relies a bit too heavily on the RNG side of things. On one hand, this means that luck will eventually get the better of you and you WILL lose a fair amount of games. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Players will need to learn to adapt and create plays where the harmful effects of RNG can be reduced to minimum. It makes you think. A good deck doesFor a card game, Hearthstone relies a bit too heavily on the RNG side of things. On one hand, this means that luck will eventually get the better of you and you WILL lose a fair amount of games. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Players will need to learn to adapt and create plays where the harmful effects of RNG can be reduced to minimum. It makes you think. A good deck does not need to win 100% of the games you played to reach Legend, you simply have to make one that has more than 50% win rate if you want to rank up. And sometimes, RNG makes things a lot more entertaining (see Hearth Trolden's videos on Youtube for a taste of it).

    The issue that concerned most players is the aspect of pay-to-win and there's no denying that Hearthstone is indeed one such game. But coming from a physical trading card game background, this doesn't concern me too much as I am used to spending money to buy cards (too bad you can't sell them in this case). The daily quest and arena help a bit in this regard but the grind is still real. Only the passionate and patient can survive the grind so expect to pay if you have just started playing the game. In short, DO NOT treat this game as a free to play game.

    Initially, I do have some concern regarding the balance of the game. Certain classes seem to dominate the ladder every season. But with every expansion, the meta shifts significantly. Every class is given the opportunity to shine. Even without expansion, when a certain class becomes dominant, anti-meta decks emerges which makes every season a different experience (which is why sites like Liquidhearth have a power ranks every month). And if a class remains dominant for many seasons (see Hunter and Rogue), Blizzard does interfere to nerf some of the key cards. And worry not, when a card is nerfed, you get to refund the cost to craft them so that you can use it to make something else. In addition, after the recent GvG expansion, most classes have deck variations that play very differently (control, aggro, tempo, or mid-range). This makes the game more brainy as you can't identify what type of decks your opponent is playing just by knowing his/her class anymore. If you are like me, who only plays a single class (Druid) because you can only afford to do so or because you really love that class, you can be sure to have a good time in certain seasons and some crappy moments other times. But the best moment for me in Hearthstone is when you manage to make a class work in a season when it is deemed to be the worst class to ladder with. And for me, this is what a card game is all about (satisfaction in experimenting with counter strategies).

    Tl;dr: In essence, the foundation in which Hearthstone is built upon makes it a card game with tremendous potential (for funny moments as well). You ARE going to pay real cash if you decided to commit to the game and casual players not looking forward to spend cash will have a hard time winning. But for those who are fine with paying money to buy cards and are looking for a really enjoyable card game to commit to (for long term), I fully recommend Hearthstone because (for me) it is simply the most enjoyable and comfortable card game I have played since forever. My suggestion is to try the game first, don't worry about winning but instead check it out to see if you like the mechanics. If you do, then perhaps you can fork out some cash to get yourself started. If not, you can always try other card games that suit your style.

    Disclaimer: I have a background of playing physical card games (mostly Yu-Gi-Oh!) for more than 10 years. I have been playing Hearthstone on PC since open beta (early 2014) up until today.    … Expand

    Hearthstone is a board game that is based into deciding to either make plays to win the board or attack you opponent directly in order to win. It's amazing how Blizzard has been keeping this game interesting, just by giving it a huge variety of possible interactions along these years.

    I would say that the best time to play this game was when there were no expansions, simply because    Hearthstone is a board game that is based into deciding to either make plays to win the board or attack you opponent directly in order to win. It's amazing how Blizzard has been keeping this game interesting, just by giving it a huge variety of possible interactions along these years.

    I would say that the best time to play this game was when there were no expansions, simply because there were very few pre made decks, and creativity could get you far in the ranking. Arena knowledge used to be rewarded.

    As the expansions were released, meta evolved in a way that you've gotta have a defined deck archetype to win matches. Suddenly, decks can win matches by themselves, regardless of the player's skill.

    Nowadays, there are tiers for how competitive decks are. I guess there's some innovation and new elements that keep the game play fun, but I hate that there's right and wrong way to play this game. If you can't afford the new cards, you are not having the same variety of decks as other players, and you're gonna have a hard time climbing into ranks.

    I'm not gonna give a red score to this game, because I think it can be pretty enjoyable if you understand it is just a casual game based on luck, and you are prone to spend money in it.    … Expand

As a negative, in order to gain profit they made it "pay to accelerate". Also after many releases it is normal to release bad or unpopular expansions.

    Terrible card game, have to spend alot of money to get the decks/cards so you can compete.

    It's also come to the point where it's all about playing the right meta cards. Alot of people are abusing this.

    It's not best TCG, mechanics are to simple, farm gives you small rewards, and even after all this time we have no automatic tournaments. Personally I can't understand, why Blizzard didn't give players new portraits for achieving 100/500/1500/2000 wins & more rewards, they easily could keep players motivated to continue playing. Sure, they did partially make up for this few monthes ago, butIt's not best TCG, mechanics are to simple, farm gives you small rewards, and even after all this time we have no automatic tournaments.

    Falando do hearthstone clássico, que não era pay to win e era sobre habilidade e não em sorte, é 10 o jogo que teve e ainda deve ter as melhores artes e dublagens. Eu engoli esse jogo n parei de jogar por meses diversão pura antigamente. (hoje em dia o jogo é pay to win)

    The Battlegrounds section has been fun for starters, but the RNG algorithm changed so many times it's become a huge turn-off, having RNG in a game is great, and it keeps the game fresh, BUT, hitting a RNG wall where you constantly lose because some retard developer taught he coded it properly ( when it isn't coded properly ) IS NOT SOMETHING PLEASANT.

    Looking back since the game came out, and I've payed someone 100$ for a beta invitation, the first 3 expansions of the game where a small developer team made everything and kept it simple & enjoyable was great.
    This game needs transperency on the RNG and clearly prove how the math works behind, because it's like playing roulette casino with your brain, and it's annoying.    … Expand

    the normal hearthstone game mode was addictive when I started playing, but I never went much further. And the game is p2w. But the new battlegrounds mode is very good and addictive, although it also has an advantage by paying more.

    Hearthstone is a remarkably enjoyable and finely-crafted card game. Coming from someone who typically isn't drawn to card games, it managed to hook me in. Being intertwined with the Warcraft universe is definitely a major plus, but even if you look solely at its gameplay, it's undoubtedly a solid 10/10 in my books.

    + Its free.
    + it's fun.
    + Awesome user interface and OST

    - Lack of depth makes the game repetative relatively quickly.
    - Luck determines the outcome of a match more often than skill.
    - Only 1v1 game mode, 2vs2 would be a great addition to the game.

    definetly pay to win, but also really poor game balance. They do everything to find crazy new game mechanics that are never intended to be balanced and rework entire card(-sets) after to make somehow bearable. Most of the time strong decks are quickly crippled so they are not even fun anymore.

Of course people get angry for it and they try to direct their anger to the only vent they have: the enemy player - reasonable, since winning enemies are not free of guilt. But Blizzard completly disabled chat for non-friends - which is by far the most crucial mistake for a multiplayer game. You would think that Blizzard is into the Online-gaming business long enough to know that "Toxicity and flame always finds a way" - if not by chat then by emotes, or abusing the items in game they have. The code is quickly understood and even then on top of that you can't even make friends, because a friend request always means "flame".

    Complete desaster. 1 point for it being "technically" free to play, which on a closer look actually reveals that it is not.    … Expand

    The biggest ever joke of a "free to play" game. Free to play but most obviously and ridiculously "PAY TO WIN". Another product of the continuing legacy of Blizzard's broken games.

    The update rate increases, the quality of the game decreases. The latest update generally rolled back the game to the Stone Age: lags, bugs and outages
