Epic Card Game

This game feels really tight in some areas and really poorly implemented in others. Pros: fast load on launch, graphics options allow you to look through cards easily enough, the damage assignment is done without tedious flair and is swift enough, pretty pictures, a healthy number of mechanics, flexible solo gameplay (which is its absolute strongest point) Cons: AI is sluggish at times (like, 5 min plus to make decisions???), the layout is just messy with so much wasted space and awkward paging through hordes of enemy cards, really poorly balanced “campaign” mode, and confusing rewards. Summary, this feels intended for those who want to invest in the game as a digital platform for a magic cards-esque game. Its not f2p in one sense, but has very flexible AI play options. Despite it’s clunky implementation, I’ll likely continue to play it solo, so can’t give it lower than 4 stars!

I have experience with the physical card game since release a few years ago, and have purchased 1x copy of every release. Epic has risen into my top favorite dueling card games, pushing my MTG devotion down to tremendously. You think the game is just another Dueling card game?? Well Epic isn’t just another game: it’s made by Star Realms creators (MtG pros), streamlined gameplay that you love with other TCGs, and wallet friendly releases. This app takes Epic to a whole new level of fun and accessibility by providing you the chance to learn the game with a polished tutorial, have access to EVERY card instantly, multiple game modes, AI and Human opponents... all for FREE! I hope the devs stick to the model of every new card release free to all users. I’m fine with In App Purchases being limited to cosmetics, arena entry, and perhaps new campaign.... would be nice if new campaigns are free though :) I originally only submitted my 5 stars for the app but want to share this with anyone who is curious about the game. Also want to address negative criticism of in another review saying AI in the campaign is busted. Not true, in my experience. I just did mission 3 of the tutorial campaign in my second try. Each campaign is a puzzle and not too difficult once you figure it out and play your cards right. Thank you WWG for an Epic app!

I have played many TCG variants, all of them claiming to be unique, and all of them fun for the most part. Many of them have optimized to get past the mana screw/flood system. But few have stepped outside of the shadow of Grandpapa Magic. White Wizard Games has not only broken the mold and created an innovative and creative card battler that doesn’t rely on a Mana system, they have created it entirely free, accessible to all. I can not overstate the significance of this game, both in how it innovates the genre, and how it carries itself as an example of monetization models in mobile gaming culture. White Wizard Games, you have stolen my heart, I will support this game, my next purchase for iPad is Star Realms. Whatever you choose to do in the future, know that I will be there to support you. You guys rock.

I am an experience MTG player, and I’ve played numerous card battlers on iOS and computer. This ranks among the weakest ones I’ve tried. The ability names are trying desperately not to infringe on copyright. The phase mechanic is not easily grasped (it seems to be a twist on MTG’s). The lack of mana or another spendable resource that must be accounted for makes gameplay uninteresting in my opinion. As another reviewer noted, it comes down to who can eliminate their opponent's “champions” (read: creatures) first, so I liken it to if the only colors in MTG were green and red. This oversimplification on top of general user interface clunkiness drove me away from investing much time in this game. Not on the same level as Star Realms!

So far so good, implementation seems sound. Always enjoyed Star Realms app also from White Wizard. My family have decided the physical version of this game was too taxing, so it’s great to have an AI and online folk to play now! I’m hoping also that as the app holds your hand a little it might allow more players to get over the initial learning hump to enjoy the properly deep gameplay beyond. Great job guys, been looking forward to this for a while!
