Pros:
- solid game experience. the gameplay is the nicest I've played in any magic client.
- large cardbase
- standard and historic game modes
- commander game mode
- deck import/export. so can use external tool for deck building. or find decks on the net.
- technically dont have to pay anything

Cons:
- cards are more difficult to get than real life
- no way to get/buy a card you want. have to use "wildcards" which come from opening many many boosters
- lose a lot to decks full of rares when you are just starting
- "alchemy" game mode is not good, but default in game selection
- commander game mode hidden under "brawl"
- no support for 2v2
- crappy slow menus, loading every click
- deck builder is okay, but lacks basic features that modern tools have
- no duel history
- no real way to interact with other players

Nice little idea for a game. Not quite tetris, not quite match 3.

Difficulty for achievements might be too high. I struggled to get 20k points, there is an achievement for 50k.

Maybe being able to rotate the pieces would help - stack them horizontally. Tough stacking close to the top when you can only stack vertically.

Somewhat like 3D tetris; fill out an entire layer and it gets removed. Perpetually removing lines while pieces fall until you get too high and the game ends.

Made ~15 attempts at this game. Highest score was 151. Next highest score was 90.

- Only controls are to rotate the existing tower.
- Cannot rotate the falling piece or move it side to side.
- Don't get a lot of time to react to the falling piece once you can see it.
- There is another indication of what piece is falling; purple squares appear on top of the existing tower to show where it will land. But this isn't very helpful since it can land on the far side of the tower which could be blocked by the tower.
- Very RNG based. You can lose simply because the game decides to send 5 awkward pieces in a row.
- Cannot find a way to quickly restart. Since most starts will be horrible and you will want to restart if you're going for a high score.
- Fairly difficult to get a score over 100. Achievement for 1000 seems impossible.

I don't know if there is extra bonus points for clearing the entire tower (sometimes a feature of tetris games). It would justify the achievement for 1000 points, but I was unable to do it.

Lots of bugs. No explanation on how to play. Not very fun once you learn how to play.

Standard clicker game.

It's a puzzle game. So the developer doesn't need to write an AI for it - just move trees! Predetermined "best moves" thought up by people who know how to play chess - for every possible move the player could make. You don't need to be good at writing complex chess AI, you just need to pay a chess player or two a few dollars.

Somehow this game gets it wrong.

Many puzzles the computer does not make the best move in response to your move.

Several cases where the game does not even have a complete move tree - it doesn't have a response to your move in its tree - so you just lose.

Notice how the problem allows for 4 moves, and that my very next move, no matter what the computer does, will be checkmate.

Checkmate in 2 missed by developer...K-B7, C5, Q-C5

Terrible.

Can't get past the login screen. Broken game.

Terrible game. But it will still sell to achievement nuts like me...

Movement isn't linear. The character's speed ramps up and down. Makes it very difficult to navigate fine movement around traps.

Character often gets stuck on boxes and ledges. Very buggy.

this game literally has ads in it...

Amazing. Addictive.


Pixel Art and Sprites. Fine if you don't mind that sort of stuff. I felt it was a bit lacking. A lot of the animations are just two frames on a loop.


You control a group of creatures that battle for you. The combat is turn based, similar to final fantasy games.

Can get repeditive quickly. It's easy to ignore a lot of the battle options and just spam your basic attacks. Theres a lot to the battles, but you can ignore it and still win.


More than I can get my head around. This isn't a bad thing though. I don't feel overwelmed playing. I feel like there's a lot more to discover.

The enemy monsters scale with your monsters level. So you have to find other ways to give you the edge in battles, and there is quite a few ways to do this: spells, equipment, enchanting items...


Some of the things are a bit clunky. Some information is missing from places where it would have been helpful. Otherwise good.


Good. What you'd expect from a game this size. Would have liked a volume slider for Audio.
