Are you ready for a new level in online card games? Draconian Wars is possibly the most strategic and challenging online card game out there. Engage in fierce combats, manage your limited resources and outmaneuver your opponent. The battlefield is the lands and skies of Hyperborea, an exotic continent rich in natural resources, with a wide variety of ecosystems and full of amazing and terrifying creatures. Key features: - No boosters! No free2play! Every card is available for you to play. - Two different factions: Draconian and Technocrat. Each faction has completely different strategies. - 120 Unique cards and more to come. - Online mode and two different single player modes: Skirmish and Challenge. - Fully customizable decks.
Every time I've entered the multiplayer lobby it's been just me, no indication that there are other people afoot but they're currently in-game or anything like that. (I suppose this COULD be the case.. or MP is just dead.) A few more bells and whistles there (a greeter bot, something showing me average wait times to play.. i dunno, something) might help jump-start the community a bit.
As for single-player, it's a fun complex game and I've had some fun fooling around with it, but it also feels it's missing something. There's no "campaign" as such, just 5 challenges (solve a puzzle kind of deal) and 5 skirmishes.. 4 of which are special-rules fights making them no different in essence from the challenge mode.
The manual is excellent but the in-game tutorials aren't the least bit interactive (beyond it telling you exactly what to click) and with no story mode or AI difficulty settings I found the game somewhat hard to pick up. Now that I've more-or-less forced myself to learn it I can somewhat appreciate its depth.
The UI and program itself have been 100% smooth and bug-free for me so far, and I certainly can't argue with the price tag.
