Beast Collector

[h1]In 4 words : [b]Generated by Artificial Intelligence[/b][/h1] [h3][b]Insulting[/b] art direction[/h3] [list] [*][u]Chara-design[/u] is AI. See these 5 pooches on the thumbnail? That's about 97% of the (250+) beasts roaster. All ""statistically cute"" creatures, fluffy abberations with big eyes. The remaining 3% are random ""statistically cool"" entities. Scrolling through the beast roaster has been an incredibly uncanny experience. Avoid if under 18. [*][u]Art direction[/u] is a theory against its own existence. The intro is like "A war has been raging", then from the moment it ends, the music switches to "A cute date at the mall with your anime waifu". The battle theme is quiet and misterious. [*][u]Sound design[/u] is simply absurd. Besides the menu and battle themes that would anihilate any competition in the Game Awards' "Track that matches the least the actions it's played on" category, experienced players will recognize the classic punch sound effect, or the "YAAY" (oh my...) that plays on every kill, including enemy's.

Solo "missions": Can get rewards only once, basically can't lose, done in 10 minutes Solo "dungeon": Basically can't lose level 1, basically can't win level 2. Multiplayer: Looking for opponent... When you start for the first time you are asked to choose between two decks, thinking this is just for the tutorial or just once, but no - the deck you choose now is the ONE deck you will have to play with and the only other one is not available. Sorry, but as cute as the game looks - not a good experience. Also the only things explained are the absolute basics that are the same like in similar games ("This is the attack power, this is the HP, don't forget that if your HP reaches zero, you lose,,,, Really?) These is no explanation on anything else like what are the "traits" that cards come with like "water". Probably not launching this again unless i see some serious patch notes.

Instant pay required for new cards, cannot buy cards with currency gained in-game(the W thing)

[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Sendinair Game Accounts (Email registration)" 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. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] Beast Collector is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free.
