Krosmaster Arena is an easy to learn, hard to master Strategy-board game.
In this game you play a strategic game with a team, out of many different collectable figurines called Krosmasters, in an arena against an opponent who did the same.
(I play the game around a year now before it was on steam , that's why I have the low playtime)

Once you get the hang of the game you should be able to win more often than not, even with the starting figurines and the free to play figurines every week.
If you are interested in getting to the game competitively, you can play the board game (the 2nd world championship is coming up soon), where you get online codes for the figurines for the online version.You can also collect the figurines ingame where you can buy booster packs with figurines very often, without spending money and get a bigger collection.
There is also a crafting mechanism, which let you craft the more used Level 1 figurnies very fast by disenchanting other figurines you have too many of.

The main problem with this game is that is not that beginner friendly. The rules of the board game are like 20 pages long and they try to fit all of that into a 30-60 minute Tutorial which is not that easy, since you are playing and not reading the manual all the time. If you really want to understand the deep mechanics of the game completely you have to read the rules to the boardgame at some point, because some things aren`t even explained in the Tutorial. You could also watch this video after playing it a little bit then you should understand it completely:

If you have question about this game fell free to add me to your friend list I am happy to help.

If you are looking for a highly competitive 2-player game (single player is also implemented) with amazing looking figurines and deeply strategic elements, then definitly check out this game.
