First off, the game is really fun and the reason I bought the app.
BUT…The game is not intuitive and it
Its not clear what youre purchasing in the In-App store, and once you DO buy it, most of the dcks arent something you can play against computer AI. So…you have only a few armies you can play against AI.
Also, THE LAG TIME BETWEEN TURNS AND PHASES IS UNREAL. It feels like theyre trying to emulate your computer opponent thinking for an inordinate amount of time rather than just playing their turn.
Bottom line, If I had bought the app first, I never would have bought the actual card game or any of the upgrades.
There are also abilities that are beyond imbalanced. I played 10 games as the Tundra Orcs and never lost. I played 10 games AGAINST the Tundra Orcs and only won a single time. The cards and abilities of the Tundra Orcs seem to work out an inordinately high percentage of the time on the App, as opposed to real life where we did the same experiment and I won 6 times playing the Orcs and lost 5 times against the Orcs. Bottom line? It doesnt seem like the numbers on the App are truly random…ESPECIALLY when you have more units. In this case, the Fury ability will almost always work and take you from 6 units to 2 units in a single turn. Its like they programmed in a forced game balancer when youre playing AI, and it makes the game horribly un-fun. I deleted it from my iPhone after we conducted our experiment.
Very disappointing for a game that is great in real life.
