A mix between HoMM and Magic card games
The tittle says almost everything you have to know about this game. It's a fun mix between a card like game with a strategical aspect. The problem is that the mix doesn't work always that well it becomes repetitive and unable to surpass HoMM or Disciples on the strategic level. On the card side, it's has a lot of variety and spells, but it's not as good as its sequel Etherlords 2 or the classical old game Magic : The Gathering, yet the variety of things you can experiment in this game is quite enough to keep you interested for a long time, a shame you can't mix the different deck/factions together. Design wise the game reminds a lot the card game Magic, the four colours... and the character design although quite pleasing for the eye and original even if quite dated by nowadays standards. Finally, if you're a person that doesn't like "gambling" and luck playing too much importance in your game, you'd better avoid this one because cards are cards... Shuffled randomly and you don't get what you want at the right time or you can be totally screwed by that. However I'll say that managing and anticipating random factors is also quite a good part of what strategy actually is and perhaps it's worth a try for a change.
Is this helpful to you?
