Dear lord realizing this game out over half a decade ago makes me feel old. going back through some older games on newgrounds on a bit of a nostalgia trip and this one actually still kinda holds up, minus the online probably being dead by now. The main thing looking back is there needs to be some way to search out units by their types and/or keywords when deckbuilding, the currency filter still leaves several pages to sift through.

five stars for the game itself, so much potential, should be an app. However, 2 stars for how limited the play is without pay. Think you shot yourself in the foot a bit. Some pay2play is fine, but how overpriced individual buys are for gems does not coordinate at all with the price of decks and gaining gems without paying is so slow and monotonous that there is not much to do without spending money.
People who like it, will likely eventually quit it, because of this inherently unbalanced system of pay2play. It's fine asking money for gems, but you should've balanced it better. You should've made certain tiers for pVp so new players didn't fight rich players. It just ruins the future of essentially a fun and immersing game I still play sparingly. (Though I would change my mind if changes were made, and would buy this as an app for my phone to support you, apologies for harsh review, but I'd like this game to expand and grow, I hope if you come across this you do make adjustments. I think it would expand your audience etc.)

A fun combat system, that is ruined by pay to win mechanics and an unfair disadvantage towards new players of this game. The duplicate system is also some what unusable for players who don't buy the packs.
The graphics and animations are nice.

P.S. never trust Kotaku
Edit: Found a bug whilst trying to log in. The game wouldn't stop loading for 2 minutes and then it crashed! After, I managed to log in, but now the background is pitch black.

The game itself is excellent and would normally deserve five stars BUT: 1.) It takes literally TAKES YEARS to build a decent deck unless you buy A LOT of packs. If you don't spend money early on, you will keep losing for a LONG time. Don't play unless you want to either spend a lot of money or time on this game. 2.) Even if you get a decent deck together, you will still lose to insanely streamlined commanders, so you will spend more time and money to create perfect commanders until you can finally compete a little with the top players. And spending that much time and money on such an obscure game? Well, there aren't many regulars here.

I have only just played the beginning so far, but this is a fun little time consumer. Great graphics, smooth gameplay and cutscenes, and loads of in-game options. \.O./
