Relic Arena

40/100 boring, gated, waste of time Even the tutorial is literally gating you every 2 steps. First Forum post I read was by a veteran -- proves the impression: "... After a while of playing, you'll start to see that there are specific item carry combos that every high rank player runs. Many of these combos are leader specific. You can use your match history to look at the builds that high-rank/top 3 players are forcing, and you'll start to notice trends. Or just watch streams. Winning is simply about knowing which leaders and relic combos are the most broken at any given time, which changes every patch. The relic banning system is supposed to prevent this in theory, but there are always specific substitutions that will work, and it's unlikely every substitution will be banned. When I realized this, it really sucked the fun out of the game for me because I used to think it was different from the other autobattlers like TFT, but it's really not. The only difference is there currently are no websites for Relic Arena that tell you what the winning builds are: the top ranked players simply know them and spam them every game. Despite the game trying to sell you this fantasy of craf…

is good

If you can get past the tutorial which is a bit of a slog, (would be better to have a normal match with hints maybe, it's very point and click as is) it's an excellent game and by far the best I've played in the genre.

Fun game

Fun if you get pass the initial knowledge barrier

Chill and addictive game
