What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
As someone who has played A LOT. of online CCGs and TCGs alike, I cannot fully recommend this game. Yes, the game uses AI art. This is common now because small studios will attempt to make live service games like this and don't have time to create unique art. Although the art isn't terrible, there's something just uninspiring about it. This game takes direct elements from MTG and wears it on it's sleeve, especially its commander mechanic lol. (is a hero power button, but its a counter system like magic for the cards abilities, and its a unit-esque portrait when you hover said button.) There's an oddly annoying mechanic, where you have to place your unit in the backrow, wait a turn, then move it forward, then, hold on...... move it forward again to attack the enemy face. One round of S.S. is enough. I understand the need to make a new way of playing, but i'm not sure this is it. You also have to decide every turn, whether you want to draw or gain mana. The U.I. is super rudimentary, with most things in the interface just being thin bordered squares. The cards themselves are not terrible (IE the effects and power levels) but a lot of them are just copy and paste hearthstone o…9 found this helpful

This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] [quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Artovya" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data.
