Was Better – Puzzle & Dragons (English) Review

I have played along time. Somewhere around the release of the Odin cards. I’ve gotten tons of freebies and have mountains of great cards. The game requires actual skill to play. Even if you have great cards you will need to string together combos, etc. This is a major plus for the game. The problem I see is incoherent bloat. Because I started so early, I could get many cards out of a relatively small pool of cards. Sure, I drew the stupid golems en masse and gold eggs were far less likely than they are now, but you could build a sound foundation. Today the insane quantity of cards makes it very hard to target a certain card. There’s a laughably massive number of god fest exclusives, making it more likely to draw them instead of the pantheon card you may really want. The ability to recycle cards into sorta good cards helps, but it doesn’t completely mitigate how hard it is, for instance, to draw a Haku today vs. a few years back. Another problem with this quantity is finding a partner with the right leader. Since I play Pandora I’m lucky, we Pandora players are all over. With so many great leader cards a new player may get a draw and struggle to find a consistent partner. Still, it’s a fun game. I just wouldn’t want to be starting now. It was easier to build a balanced team back when.
