Is this really a 4x game?

[yoshirules]

I mean like Civ etc
Or is it more a turn-based card game

I like to know too. I don't have a clue. At first I thought it was a 4X game then it seems it's a card game with animation.

Surprised it wasn't explained very well in the videos they have. I usually don't like card games, but this seems interesting take on a 4X game so willing to learn more. After all, what is the difference between cards and stats to a unit? They are both animated in this game, so it might be easier to play because we see the stats on the cards and don't need to remember what does what.

So if it's a combination of both genres, I am willing to look at it more. Caveat for me is, usually mixing two or more genres in a game is not a good thing, but I look past it since it's a company trying to do something new and not same old same old. Innovation should always be encouraged and I am willing to support that.

Hi guys,

To clear things up:

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a classical turn-based strategy game first.
It is not a card game.

We are using card elements as a nice, distinguishable and appealing way of displaying spells and actions.

It is a 4X game... As the developer said; they just use a card system to accentuate abilities/spells/attacks etc. It seems to have a rather unique take on the genre, so may be worth further research before casting it aside as every other 4X game.

Ok great thank you. I mostly dont like 4X games, because they are so complicated to understand everything. Would you say this one is less complex?

[kalypso_Lord MK]

Of course I am also looking forward to hear what the other players are thinking, but as a big strategy gamer myself personally I would say that Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is not as hard to understand as some of these other games out there. :)

It is a lot more approchable then many other 4X games out there for sure. It's low on complexity, but the right amount of depth.

I watched some streams and from what I've seen it looks very similiar to "Heroes of Might and Magic" (at least the old ones, last one I played was Heroes 3), but with vampire-theme and a bunch of cool new mechanics.

[yoshirules]

Thanks all I just bought it. Hope it isnt complicated

[jnpoint]

It's not complicated, but it has depth.

[yoshirules]

I like it, it's like HOMM so its easy to understand.
