Duelyst II

its a great strategic puzzle and many game modes to choose from from i truly enjoy it and recommend it.

Great game. Its like Hearthstone combined with Chess and 16bit graphics. Also the community is incredibly friendly and love to help new player.

A dream we all once had.

The pixel art, animations, unique tile-set for a board allows for a lot of cool and interesting strategies. Add that to the card collecting aspect, a bi-weekly event (the chromatic cup) the factions, and extensive and rich narrated and written lore in the codex, it is the perfet formula for me to fall in love with this game. I was dismayed when the first game went down, but this revival is the best thing I have seen so far! The fact it can run on almost any low-spec machine is a great added bonus!

Played the original version of Duelyst and I saw the egregious design flaws that made me quit that game ... and then I saw this game, realize I put it into my Steam library, forgot about it, rediscovered it recently and... They removed one of the most crucial thing about what made Duelyst into Duelyst: each faction had separate leaders all with unique abilities, and those are gone, they apparently exist in some sort of "Legacy mode" that you unlock later on, but they were removed for "balance" reasons or whatever other nonsense like that. Basically... if you want to play a tactics game, play a dedicated tactics game like XCOM. If you want to play a digital cardgame like Hearthstone... just play Hearthstone. If you are like me and like the combination of the two... give Duelyst a try and be disappointed quickly at the complete lack of personality that each of the factions now have, but since you weren't aware of those personalities before, maybe you'll like it. But for me, who liked Duelyst in concept but saw the flaws it had, and seeing Duelyst 2 having [b]WORSE[/b] flaws (the lack of faction and leader identity is that severe knowing that is a huge part of what made Duelyst into…

YAWN every card is removal and Magmar should lose its defense, grow gives it too many stats. Vanar needs higher mana costs as it locks the board down easily. Cards like Pandora are for cheaters and Mechazors frenzy doesn't even work. Songhai should have backstab diagonal when behind a unit.
