Arcane Showdown - Battle Arena

Pros + Unique and nice take on Clash Royale genre. + The "Enchant" mechanic definitely adds a lot of depth to the game. + Putting cooldowns on cards and unlocking tiers rather than cycling a deck feels like the way this genre should play. + Feels well polished gameplay-wise for a port and probably made for 2v2 given the amount of stuff you gotta do. + New players don't have to walk into a wall of opponents at the...

The business model for this game is exactly as predatory and disappointing as you'd expect. It ruins what would have otherwise been a pretty fun game. You get four slots to hold chests (i.e. lootboxes) on your account. The chests contain a standard currency, sometimes a small amount of premium currency, cards used to level up your units, etc. While your skill plays a part, the contents of these boxes are also...

But realize it will likely fail as its population sinks to only the small percentage of players...

Last 3 hours all I see is guys with cards 5-6 levels OVER same cards I have. They smash them easy. Also there is...

It is clear that this game tries to use addictive features to coax users into spending needless amounts of money, so I cannot recommend this game to anyone else, and will likely not play it anymore. For example, • Need to level up cards, which is done by obtaining duplicate copies of the cards from random loot • Can only use currency earned in-game on a few random things per day, and as the combination cost for...
