Great game, but slightly buggy
Davemont
Update: New patch adds speed increase! It will exit you out of the game extremely quickly and repeatedly! Test your patches before you release them. Every time I start a game now, it plays maybe 1-2 turns, then crashes. Sad. But it looks like they fixed the big Zetta the Encryptor bug, so that’s huge. Keeping at 4 stars until they fix the crashes for playing with medium opponents, but like the game very much. Game is great and plays very cleanly like Ascension, but with a different theme and a couple different mechanics. Much more player against player than Ascension. There seems to be a rather small set of cards as well, but hopefully that will be addressed with DLC.
Great!

Another great mobile port of a card game. Interface is intuitive and there’s already plenty of nice features to make digital play feel snappy. One humble request: - Make the digital tutorial more prominent
Crashes Ruin the fun
Mfmise
Easy to learn, possibly fun to play. Wouldn’t know. Crashes after two or three turns.
Game crash
Thyme71
Game crashes on any difficulty greater than easy AI, no matter number of AI players on the first turn. Attempting to resume game from menu crashes app immediately. iPad Air, current iOS update.
Fantastic game!

I have owned this card game for a little while and have really enjoyed it. The game itself does not have the numbers in cards like many other deck-builders, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in how fun and diverse the options are. This game increases in speed each round and is very entertaining and has a lot of replay value with the combinations of cards and increases in power. As far as deck builders go in card format and phone app, this one keeps my interest more than most. However, I find the game really shines with that first expansion that is not yet available in this app. That expansion gives each of the four characters unique abilities and adds a few extra cards that have a great impact on options. Good thing it is set to come out soon. The app itself looks great. It may be better to played on a tablet due to screen size, but it is not that bad on my iPhone XS Max. The app has run smoothly for me so far with no glitches or issues. In theory, I like the options to play offline against AI with multiple difficulties and to play online. I have an issue with the online though as I have not been able to get into an online match yet, but will continue to try and adjust this review as soon as I get into it. My reasons for four stars are mainly due to the lack of the expansion. Other than that, this game is absolutely fantastic. I love that I can bring it with me everywhere. Definitely recommend. This is a small game with big opportunities for varied gameplay. With that expansion, it would be even better. NOTICE: these are my personal opinions of the game. I do not used tired cliches such as “don’t listen to these other reviews” or “I never write reviews, but...” I do not discourage you from reading other reviews and I also do not feel that my review is carries more weight than others.
Feels like the start of an Ascension 2.0

I was a big fan of Ascension, and Shards certain feels very familiar, but with many interesting improvements. I’m especially enjoying the mercenary mechanic (getting the choice to immediately use-and-banish some cards instead of solely adding them to the deck). The factions are rather familiar (roughly, blue drawing cards and having thresholds, green wanting pairs-or-more of green, tan having a focus on stays-in-play cards, and purple being damage and deck-cleaning), and it’s certainly interesting to see some reincarnations of Ascension cards or effects (eg. acquire a card of cost 6 or less), while still putting them in a new context/balance. I’m absolutely looking forward to seeing where future expansions/card-sets go from here!
Weak AI

The AI is weak. I’ve played nothing but games against hard AI and I have won almost all the games. I’ve tried free for all 4 player and one on one and the AI almost never wins.
Great game but need more than 30 mins

Had a blast with the physical game and was excited to try out the app. Played my first online game with a friend who also played the physical game. Unfortunatley, it abandoned the game we were actively playing after 30 mins. It was a great match going back & forth, but we will never know who would have won. Any way you can add an option to extend the play time? Other than that, really enjoyed the app adaptation of a great game & looking forward to the expansion.
Great game!

This game is awesome! Exactly like the card game. The app works but it’s got a lot of bugs. It lags and gets stuck on cards quite often. I have to shut down the app and reopen it but it hasn’t lost my progress yet. Like I said, it works but it has its issues. Fix this and I’d give it five stars.
