Shards of Infinity

An excellent app release for a great tabletop dueling deckbuilder. Really intuitive to pick up and play, elegant and balanced design, plus some imaginative worldbuilding in the faction designs. Great game for hotseat and online duels, which this version does competently. It's fundamentally lacking the kinds of things these sorts of games need to blow up - achievements, metaprogression, even the existing expansions to the physical version are looking like they're not coming. There might be a tabletop sim build that's more complete, I haven't looked, and I don't know if I would like it more. This version is lightweight and easy to boot up, and with what's available here, I kind of get the picture. The lack of a more complete exploration stimulates my imagination, and for such an aerodynamic little game, I might prefer that to a more exhaustive and over-designed digital release.

Good core game system. Don't like the card mechanics.

Great game, but it crashes a lot

I like the design of it. It's loyal to the cardgame IRL. I played it a lot offline during lonely train travels. It's sad though that the multiplayer doesn't work at all. I never managed to play agains another human player or friend. Only against AI.

Not worth getting over Ascension until there's more expansions for this. As it is, it's just a slightly different version of Ascension with a fraction of content and gets boring pretty fast.

simple but fun
