    It isn’t the most beautiful or artistically consistent game in the world, with an art style that could be charitably described as generic high-fantasy. On the other hand, it is a free-to-play game that rarely reminds the player that they could or should be paying real money.

One good thing about this game is the large amount of unique troops you can collect, although Some of the troops are far more generic than others. I personally dislike the dialogue in between missions not because It is bad, but rather that I have no context as to who I am, how I know anyone, or what this fantasy world is. The music is amazing if not a little lack luster as all the music sounds the same. The design is unique and everything is very polished. The gameplay can be addicting and the PvP doesn’t feel like you are going against real people. Overall I enjoyed this game, but I feel like it would be better suited on a mobile platform.… Full Review »

    Is the music repetitive? Pretty much.

    Is the AI anything to write home about? Nope.

    Is this an addictive puzzle game with surprisingly deep deck-building? Absolutely.

    I got this game at the urging of a friend, having never played anything of the sort. Two hours later I was trying "one last game" to get the gems I needed to upgrade my team. I think my favorite part is that you can drop in for a quick match or two without any massive time commitment. The addition of guilds and weekly events are enjoyable, and there really isn't any need to buy anything if you don't want (I certainly haven't). There is more skill to this than appears at first glance, and a treasure map level makes that abundantly clear.

    Definitely recommended for puzzle game fans, or even fans of card-based games such as MtG.    … Full Review »

    Over the last few years a huge amount of grind has been added and the graphics have been severely simplified (uglyfied?) to be more fitting for mobiles.

    The worst about it all is 505 adding quit a few bugs every time they "extend" the game. A bit more beta testing won't hurt! Also, the UI is downgraded to become more and more a constant push to pay with flash offer pup-ups.

    But still, I rate it a 6.
    No other game got my attention almost daily, guild-play is causing a certain "bonding" (or addiction?) making you don't want to let them down. Deck-building is fun, the amount of content added is a steady flow, and the gems... The type of time waster I liked to play since ages...
    The combination of Bejeweled and MtG is what does it for me.    … Full Review »
