Card Hunter
Welcome, bold adventurer! Card Hunter is an online collectible card game which blends together card play, deck building, tactical combat and fantasy role-playing in a way you've never seen before. Grab your cards, miniatures, dice and snacks, then journey to a new world of adventure on the tabletop of your Game Master, Gary. Build your party and set forth on a grand adventure in the massive single-player campaign. Each adventure will challenge your deck-building skills and tactical prowess as you battle horrifying Black Oozes, savage War Monkeys and more. Amass a collection of fantastical swords, shields and other adventuring gear. In Card Hunter's unique deck building system, equipping your party with these items builds your deck for you. Enter the fray on a grid based battlefield. Prepare for turn-based strategy where you must play your cards right to defeat your foes and be rewarded with experience and loot.

This game has provided over 4,000 hours of replayability in my case. Amazing card deck building and collective game with zone of control and positional board game elements. Soooo sick!

A fun isometric D&D type game with tons of loot and menu-hopping.

The best 0€ I ever spent. Very unique and fun game concept. The main campaign is completely free and will provide about 20-40h of gameplay. After completing the campaign each adventure will get 4 additional variants (basically NG+). Additional adventure packs can be purchased in-game, but they aren't needed to enjoy the game. Card Hunter also features a loot-box system, but it can also be ignored as the main campaign, shops and crafting provide enough good EQ to have fun and complete the game. Sadly the AI is extremely dumb and at times it feels like it's trying to lose on purpose by discarding attack cards instead of just using them.

Nice graphics: CHECK. Pleasant music: CHECK. Addictive gameplay: CHECK. Acceptable difficulty: CHECK. Diablo 2-like amount of items: CHECK. Story: - Oh, story, probably the best aspect of this game! Fascinating coming-of-age story of a nerd, presented in a minimalistic way. It reminds me of my college days playing D&D rip-off and my mistake of lending my super rare edition of Lovecraft to my teammates back then, which they never returned. So if you happen to be reading this review, please know that I am still waiting for it to be returned!

I used to love this game. I actually bought it back when it was a for-sale game, not a "freemium" f2p nightmare it has become.
Now, I can't really recommend it, as much I would like to. I like the animation style. I like the gameplay. I think it adds a lot of novelty to the deckbuilding RPG genre. Even now, the few games that have tried to come close to "tactical RPG deck builders" just havent matched the same quality of game.
But now, the game has paywalls--aka, the game slows down and feels like a slog / grindy unless you buy some "pizzas" (gems).
Originally, this game was not f2p. It cost a flat amount of money. The "pizzas" (gems) were actually completely optional and basically just unlocked some DLC (not all, some DLC was free), which was fine. Plenty of devs sell DLC for actual money. You also couldn't really earn pizzas in-game originally either.
After a few years, I'm guessing either original devs sold the game (it felt like it, as the entire game got reworked, lost alot of its charm, and they even gave it a new name) or brought in a MTX team. Anyways, game gets a fresh coat of paint, new name, and rebalanced mechanics to make the game feel much more like a slog if you dont pay for pizzas.
So, yeah, stay away. Which is a shame. Someone got their hands on this game and turned a good paid game into a crummy f2p MTX game.
It's sad that f2p MTX make so much more money than fix-pricing games, but it's the reality. Unfortunately, for this game it meant that a nice gem of an RPG got spoiled.
