Spellsword Cards: Demontide

My initial impression of this game was mediocre, but the more I play it, the more I enjoy it. It's clearly inspired by Hearthstone, and while it has less mechanical complexity or content than Hearthstone, Demontide more than makes up for this by offering supreme flexibility and not being pay-to-win, making it the better of the two. Like Hearthstone, it offers multiple game modes, but my favorite by far is the campaign mode, so that's what I'l be describing. Instead of having one hero power, you can equip up to 3. Instead of choosing one class for your character, you can increase your level in any class each time you gain a character level, unlocking unique class cards, up to a maximum of 8 levels. That said, there are some downsides that need to be mentioned. While there are unlimited randomly generated enemies to fight, the hand-crafted story content is incomplete with no indication that it's still being worked on. Similarly, it looks like each class had 8 levels planned, but only 5 or 6 implemented. The existing content is worth more than the purchase price by a wide margin, but it's still disappointing to know that there was more planned that we can't experience. I'd be thrilled if someday more content gets released, even if it has to be purchased separately. It's unlikely, but I can hope. There are also a few bugs that never got fixed, but they tend to be minor inconveniences. But the main reason I was less than thrilled initially is that the story battles tend to present unique challenges that can completely shut down certain strategies. However, in a way this is a good thing because it provides a powerful incentive to discover new strategies, and there are neutral cards available to buy or craft ensuring that players always have the necessary tools to overcome these challenges.

dont dont dont buy it! 千万不要买！感觉不到诚意，加一党1上都不要入库。 比商店页面显示，比预想差太多了。不说翻译没有完全翻译，翻译不准确；过了4年了，各方面都不完善，半成品。估计是烂尾了，都没有看到更新公告；而且这个厂商有几个游戏，他要想更新优化完善这个早就完善了，早就出几个dlc了吧？ we need Tra all english text. 我们需要完全翻译。we need sell for ver1.0. 我们需要成品售卖。we need Ach. 我们需要成就。we need drop card. 我们需要掉卡。we need cloud save. 我们需要云存档。 202304，steam，steam掉卡抵扣，t a o宝，支付宝红包，humble，indie gala，daily indie game，fanatical，杉果，它处自定义包入的本体约4元。爱人如己，目前就这，看以后追评。有中文的游戏请耐心自研体验乐趣，攻略指南尽量不用。不建议使用外挂，插件，作弊之类的，游戏都要这样搞，那现实里那更是如此了。兄弟萌，强烈建议不要第三方平台的小店买y u额，通过饰品等挂steam市场转的，高概率red信乃至封号，且行且珍惜。

[h1]The Good[/h1] [list] [*] [b]Artwork looks decent.[/b] [*] [b]Intriguing, but simple gameplay.[/b] The game has some good ideas but feels familiar if you're use to collectable card games. [/list] [h1]The Bad[/h1] [list] [*] [b]Slow gameplay.[/b] Everything feels sluggish. Leveling is slow, moving around the world is cumbersome, and the UI is clunky. Every interaction feels like it requires one to two unnecessary clicks. [*] [b]Unbalanced matches.[/b] Rounds are really swingy and highly dependent on your draw. [*] [b]Not beginner friendly.[/b] Being highly dependent on luck requires careful deck building. It's all about tipping the chaos in your favor. [/list] [h1]Final Thoughts[/h1] [b]Spellsword Cards is not recommended.[/b] The game has too many faults and not enough polish to net any kind of joy.

The game feels like it was designed for a 5-year old. Insanely boring right from the start.
