Creatures of Aether

This is a really refreshing game. Unlike games like puzzles and dragons, this game really is a incredible game on its own even without being able to level up characters! The main “game” itself is super intricate and has tons of room for strategy. Even with the same deck, two players would likely play completely differently! There are so many different strategies it’s crazy! Also I love that this game does’t push the micro transactions too hard either! (One bug is tho that it doesnt show you how any purple orbs you get from mircotransactions. It onky shows the $ cost lol) Overall great game and I can’t wait to pioneer new strats!

I like the game but I absolutely hate it at the same time. Creatures of Aether is very much like Tetra Master, a Final Fantasy mini-game but with a twist. Certain cards in Creatures of Aether have powers and the board does have elemental tiles that can give or remove stats. Although I did get a bit of nostalgia because it’s similar to Tetra Master, Creatures of Aether is not nearly as fun nor satisfying. Cards can level up if you have enough duplicates of the same card which means the game is pay to win. There is a total deck cost limitation meaning each card has a certain cost and if your deck is above the cost you cannot play the deck, I’d love to play all my strongest cards in a single deck but that would never happen. The elemental tiles are sometimes a pain to deal with because you can be forced to dump a card in an elemental tile that isn’t favorable for your cards element which means your card loses overall stats, there is a specific card that removes elemental tiles but if you didn’t pick that card as your starter, too bad. If you plan on trying the game, I do believe it can be fun but it is very much is pay to win.

Been following this since the Rivals Direct. Happy to say it surpassed my expectations for enjoyment. It’s a nice breath of fresh air for PvP strategy games and the PvE feels better than I had hoped. So far the only thing that doesn’t feel as great is the economy. It may be due to the fact it’s new but there is a large disparity between the amount of gold earned from PvP compared and the amount needed to level up cards. I know mobile games need to reward players who spend money but when the most consistent F2P source of farming gives so little it doesn’t feel rewarding when I big brain someone 4 matches in a row and can’t even level up a rare card. I just wanna feel progress when I make big brain plays. Overall still love the game and am gonna keep playing!

I’m enjoying the game so far. Great music and visuals, F2P friendly, and the card system is simple yet has a lot of strategy to it and is intuitive. But there is no option (at least, it LOOKS like there isn’t?) to just play against an AI and not someone online. I would much prefer to play the AI as playing against a real person makes me nervous, even if the only communication is with emotes. I’d really hope that eventually becomes a feature.

The gameplay is much like Final Fantasy’s triple triad, except now there’s bonus tiles and abilities. The abilities are either you get to comeback from losing, or you just got completely locked down cause every bonus tile is burned up turn 1. Even in training 2 the game feels like what you get as starting cards are worthless. Unlike Triple Triad there seems to be very little balance, and I haven’t even touched pvp. This is just with the computer. Where as TT has card rarities restricted after 3 stars to allow for more balanced gameplay, I see no such balance here. The concept of a triple triad like game I can play without paying $15 a month for FFXIV is enticing, but with as disappointing my first hour was, I’d rather pay for XIV to get better more balanced gameplay.
