Disappointment

Forgotenhope666

I came to this game hoping for a nice, relaxing card game to pass some time. On its surface, it's a bit rough around the edges with hand drawn caricatures and repetitive reminders. I played on through the tutorial, coming to enjoy the whimsical characters as they began to take on a familiar tone. And then... Stale. The game comes to grinding halt as it locks you behind a paywall a mile high. All charm of adorable wolves and harmless chinchillas are lost. Let me attempt to illustrate. There are over 3000 combinations of cards, and in order to "discover" them, you have to research them. However, research ranges from 1 hour to 6 hours to 24 hours... And that is just for low level cards; I haven't even seen high level cards (we'll get to levels in a second). A vast majority of the cards are 6 hour research and beyond. Let's say, for simplicity sake, each research is 6 hours, and you were super efficient with checking the cards, with just one "research portal" it would take you over 2 years straight to get close to all the possibilities. The make "research portals" you may obtain are 5, which 2 being locked the previously mentioned paywall. So most normal humans could obtain all possible combinations in a little under a year, all things aside. Great. The "leveling" of cards is another issue. Cards do not level on their own. You have to manually upgrade a card which costs "dust". For some really crappy cards, the dust cost from level one to level two is three dust. You obtain dust from recycling old cards, at 1 dust a card. So to be clear, in order to upgrade that crappy card to a slightly less crappy card, you need to recycle three cards to upgrade one one level. There are ten levels for cards. Level two to level three costs 12 dust... 12!!! Okay, so how do you get cards? You get them from battling opponents in adventure or arena. Adventure offers some variance with enemies in their different locations, albeit all the same mechanics overall. Once you beat an opponent, you are awarded with coins or with a RARE chance for a card. After about two matches you get enough coins to buy one card pack... Which contains one card... Just one; these cards are mainly crappy cards and once in a blue moon, you receive an uncommon... Good luck with a rare card; I've opened about 40 packs and have yet to see one. Many of the research possibilities are locked behind level requirements, meaning you can't even obtain a new possibility until you upgrade two cards to a new level. I should note, more rare cards, like uncommon and above, cost more dust to level up and longer to research. As for the battle mechanics, you take cards, pair them together and get a temporary "upgrade" in battle. You can do this 7 times, with each subsequent "combination" offering a large boost to your chosen power (healing, card enhancement or player damage) per turn. However, once you miss one combination, you reset all your upgrades, so maximizing your combinations is KEY. Remember however that combinations are discovered through research... This already exhausting... Ugh. So how can you speed up the game? Gems! Gems allow you to instantly research things, upgrade cards and give you access to card packs with multiple cards, where at least one card is an uncommon or a rare! Great! You are provided one gem every few levels. If you want more gems, insert real cash, and a lot of it. This game quickly becomes unmanageable unless you upgrade cards to get better research to get better combinations and get better cards for you deck. Pvp requires a better deck, so anyone who has the cash to shell out, also has the means to win. Everyone else, well you get a participation award of 3 coins! This game has potential, with the cute characters and the goofy satirical dialogue. But what it creates in artistic expression, it immediately and permanently overshadows with a system that REQUIRES money and a lot at that. Honestly, there are much better card games out that and unless the developers intend on fixing the in "costs" of things, I am not wasting another minute with the game. Hope this helps some people. Such a shame, the wolf is SOOO cute!!!


I love it

It's amazing and very addicting


Spectacular but buggy

Shred X

I've been playing this game for 1 year1/2 and I've been having lots of fun. It's very fun but sometimes it's buggy. Sometimes when I face opponents in events and I defeat them they don't get crossed out because when you defeat your opponent there is an x that appears on them but it hasn't been happening to me lately and then the screen will freeze and when I get exit out of the app and try to get back in again it won't allow me to enter the event even though it's not over so I would appreciate it if you guys would fix it for me thanks.


Awesome but with a problem

D5wag

This is an extremely fun game but I'm now unable to play in the area.


Bugs? Only me?

Bobsterita

I have been playing this game for a LONG time. I a, addicted and it's great to pass time by. But, now when I try to whether the shop, it gives me a blank, black screen. I can access the shop through other methods, but none of the limited time packs are there. Also, it always shows the time left till the next challenge as under one minute, same thing with the arena rewards. Speaking of the arena, when I try to play a match, it counts down the whole minute, stays on one second left, and doesn't find a match for me. It gets quite frustrating since the arena is pretty fun.


Great game! Very Addicting

Happy football fan

I've been hooked on this game for over a year now and it's great. Overall great game lots of replay ability. Could use a few updates to improve balance but overall amazing and fun


Fix the game

HeroponGaming

I've played this game for years, and each time period I've played it, there's some bug that makes the game unplayable. Like today, the online mode isn't working at all. The game tells me it's looking for an opponent, and when the timer reaches 1 second, it just freezes there. And it always says there's <1 minute left until the new week, but it never changes. Also, when I try to go to the shop, the screen turns entirely black and I have no choice but to reset the app. And when I do close the app, I receive five notifications in a row that say "a new heroic trial is starting now!" Even though there isn't one. Please, fix your broken game.


Love the game but...
