Cross Blitz
Are you ready? It’s time to BLITZ!
Cross Blitz is a new, exciting card based role-playing game set in a fantastical world teeming with vibrant characters and fierce battles. Select one of five heroes and adventure through their story as you uncover the many wonders of Cross Dawn Isle! From bloodthirsty lion pirates, to showy pop-star bards, you never know what you’ll run into next in this quirky fantasy universe.
Taking inspiration from beloved JRPG franchises like Breath of Fire, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy – and mixing them together with elements from popular card games like Hearthstone, Slay the Spire, and Steamworld Quest – we aim to deliver a unique, thrilling adventure for all types of players.
Cross Blitz contains multiple content-heavy single player modes – ranging from narrative driven story modes like ‘Fables’, to the deadly rogue-like challenge of the ‘Hollow Hunt’. And for those who love a heated PvP experience, exciting challenges await in the ‘Coliseum’ – an online competitive mode with cross-play functionality between all available platforms (PC, Mac, iOS, and Android).
– Play through each hero’s story as they face a variety of trials and tribulations! Sail the dangerous waters of the Southron Sea alongside the pirate Redcroft or explore the underbelly of the bustling city of Dawndell with Quill the pipsqueak thief!
– Collect over 250 cards across 5 factions – War, Nature, Balance, Fortune, and Chaos. Gather ingredients from winning battles to craft even more powerful cards!
– Partake in fierce battles that require strategy and cunning – build the perfect deck to stomp your enemies into dust! Easy to pick-up, but difficult to master, you’ll have to harness the strength of your minions alongside a plethora of spells, trick cards, and Blitz Bursts if you’re to claim victory!
– An expansive world awaits, filled with colorful characters and curious locations. The hex map exploration system makes it easy to navigate from region to region – with plenty of secrets to be found along the way!
– The Hollow Hunt beckons! Play against increasingly difficult opponents as you make your way through this exciting rogue-like game mode, venturing deeper and deeper into the abandoned ruins at the border of the Hellwilds.
– Partake in the Coliseum and battle against opponents online with cross-play across all supported platforms.
– Beautifully rendered pixel art awaits you at every twist and turn.

Can't agree with the other reviews. You basically get here two games in one. A good Story Game with fun Deck building mechanic, awesome characters and fun dialogs and a Rogue-Lite game with infinite replayability.
I don't think the fights are too easy. In the Story mode the fights are a bit easier than in the Rogue-Lite mode but you have extra challanges for bonus rewards for every fight which makes it a bit harder and pushes you to try new decks and mechanics.
This game is till now a solid 9/10 maybe 10/10 when they keep it up.

If you love Hearthstone but hate blizzard, and love any good Sts-Clone: This is for you! So actually it is no clone but something really great and uniqe. It ticks many, many boxes for me. It is a little rough arounf the edges (performance wise) but the base game-loop ist working great.

When you are a fan of Hearthstone, just get it ASAP,
the 14h I played atm, with 66% of 1 Characters Storymode,
(5 Characters in total when the game is processing 2024, but just 2 characters right now)
And I did'nt even tried the Roguelike Mode yet. 100% a BANGER , Keep up your good work <3

68 Stunden Spielerfahrung sagen: Early Access, also anfängliche Unreinheiten, was ich damit meine sind die Grafikfehler (Tote Einheiten werden manchmal ABER selten immer noch auf dem Spielfeld angezeigt). Der
STORYMODUS ist komplett unterschiedlich zu dem ROUGHLITE dicker Pluspunkt, da ein 100% Deckbuildung möglich ist, Ausgleich ist die Deckgröße und die Stammesbegrenzung. Beides gilt aber bei dem ROUGHLITE Teil nicht, also gibt es viel Abwechslung. Zum Thema BALANCE, ja die Bosse sind teilweise tough, ABER man kann sie besiegen! -alles hat immer eine Schwachstelle! Außerdem unterstützen den ROUGHLITE Modus die viele Abwechslung, durch die Heldenauswahl mit einzigartigen Events. Nach meiner Meinung braucht das Spiel mehr Charakter, außerdem finde ich, dass man mehr Quests braucht und Story sollte auch zu den anderen Fraktionen geben. Alles in einem sehr gutes Spiel, mit sehr viel Potenzial nach ca 70st hat man jedoch schon eigentlich alles gesehen.
