✦ AI summary

Wages of War offers interesting strategic gameplay with a unique fantasy-steampunk setting and engaging card-betting mechanics that appeal to strategy fans, but it suffers from significant matchmaking issues and tutorial progression problems that severely limit accessibility. Players struggle to find ranked matches quickly, encounter broken UI elements like the non-functional cancel button, and report being stuck in tutorial loops, making it difficult to actually play the game despite appreciating its core design and visual presentation.

I usually play for a long time (or until I finish it) any game, that I am about to review, especially if the review is likely to turn negative. So why the negative for Wages of War just after 30 minutes in-game (43, including some experiments, writing this review)? Well, for the very simple reason, that after finishing tutorial my only option was to play a ranked match... and for 5 minutes at 2 P.M. on Saturday there wasn't any player to play against. Additionally, the cancel ranked match button didn't work (seems for some reason at times it doesn't - experimenting a bit, it worked 2 out of 4 times) and with the tutorial finished I was still getting the info, that I need to finish my training, before having any other option, but to repeat the tutorial or fight a ranked match. I can't even say, if this game has or doesn't have any way for a single-player. In addition to ranked match there seems to be something called arena... but it's locked for me, and I'm not willing to wait for hours (not even sure, how many ranked battles I would have to fight to unlock it) to make sure, that it's also currently unplayable. It's so dismaying, that so many of small indie devs, creating online …

Игра 'Wagers of War' – это свежий взгляд на жанр пошаговой стратегии с элементами коллекционной карточной игры. Сеттинг, сочетающий фэнтези и стимпанк, создает уникальную атмосферу, а проработанный лор затягивает с первых минут. Механика ставок перед каждым ходом добавляет элемент азарта и глубины, заставляя тщательно планировать каждый свой шаг. Визуально игра выполнена приятно, арт стиль карт и моделей юнитов радует глаз. Звуковое сопровождение также соответствует общему тону игры. Однако, стоит отметить, что порог вхождения может показаться высоким для новичков в жанре из-за обилия механик и карт. Необходимо потратить некоторое время на освоение всех тонкостей. Также, баланс карт порой кажется немного несбалансированным, но разработчики активно работают над исправлениями. В целом, 'Wagers of War' – это интересная и перспективная игра, которая точно найдет своих поклонников среди любителей карточных стратегий, готовых потратить время на ее изучение. Рекомендую к ознакомлению.
