Edited: There are bugs in the campaign that have not been addressed for over a year. Frustrating to play now. -2* for this. Been playing this game for a few years. I really enjoy the ability to play against AI or actual players. Never paid any money to play and it's totally possible as a casual player who enjoys deck building amd tuning. Cards can be bought and sold for in game currency so getting rare cards isn't impossible. I've even gotten rare and epic cards from the free daily chest.

This is an update to my previous review. After a hiatus for a few years due to technical issues with my devices, I have recently been brought back into the game. With fresh eyes, I can say that absolutely nothing has changed. It's a great game, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Hearthstone but wants a darker tone. However, I will reiterate... Nothing has changed. I expected a new release or two upon my return, and was surprised to see nothing after 2 years of not playing.

It's alright. I can't seem to get the pace of play to stay consistent. The animations are so slow and when I adjust the slider it doesn't seem to do anything, sometimes if I put it on the slowest setting is when it seems to go the fastest. It needs an automatic stop for using cards as resources because when I'm at 7 I don't really need to sacrifice anymore cards
