Warhammer AoS: Champions Apk

1 ★I used to love to play this app in my spare time and felt that even though I didn't spend any money, was still being fairly rewarded for time invested. With the new update however, the app has become a cash grab with the addition of a "subscription service". Well it was fun while it lasted, will likely uninstall the app now.

2 ★The game is largely good but, I'm having a problem with my account. I was trying to login with my friends account using the Link Account option so, we could stream the game using his decks. My account got wiped out. I don't need to bother recovering it since I didn't scan or buy anything yet but, I would like to be able to log out of my friends account and make a new one.

5 ★After some play time (more that one month, and game updates): I have played card games since 1996. This is absolutely amazing card game. In short: Great mechanics, art, look an feel. No ADS! You don't have to pay to play. Four factions. Every day you got one card for free. You can buy busters with in game currency (which you got with play). PVP and PVE. Casual and ranked play. You get cosmetics (avatars, playmats ..) with level up or in busters. If you worry about meta in card games, let me give you advice. Don't look for decks online. Play couple of games and you will see what deck you want to build. Play differently etc.. One thing that is really good, aside the gameplay, is that you have great statistic of your overall play. You can see 10 last ppl you played against, stats of your deck and cards etc. Rankings and leaderboards in region and global are visible and can be seen by your level, card levels, faction level... This was my initial review: Best card game out there. Digital version is great. No ads or anything. Matches are around 15 minutes long. First card game to compelled me to build a deck. Everything about this game is great.

5 ★This game is brilliant. I've read some of the lower rating comments and found that some of them are incorrect. This game is not soley pay to win. Yes it helps to have physical cards but that is something new and positive and helps the game live in real life then just exsist in the digital realm. Also you can craft your own cards using in game currency that you can accumulate by battling alone! and you get hold of war chests really easily (specially if you keep playing different decks and levelling up your cards) which gives you another chance to get hold of cards (at random) you can also use coins again generated through battling to buy digital booster packs. thus allowing you to accumulate the deck you want for free! it will just take a bit of playing the game (which will give you time to learn what decks are out their wand what you want) and a bit of luck from opening boosters (just like in the real world when buying booster packs). This games great. Just stick at it and discover the endless posibities and combinations of decks you can build. I'm a daily seasoned player and I have able to dominate games with every grand alliance! none of them are in weak! you just need to discover the right deck ;)

4 ★An awesome implementation of the new TCG. Not only does it have its own decks and collection, but you can import all of your actual cards into the game and use them as well. It plays as a nice option for those who might not have other people to play against at the time. It is a nice way to try out new cards and deck builds as well as see all of the cards in the game and how they work before you go out to buy them. The card scan ability is a very interesting mechanic that sets this apart from a lot of other games. Even the rules cards can be scanned to bring up the rules on your device for quick reference.

3 ★This is a first impressions so my opinion is only based on my limited time played and is subject to change. I have also not played the offline iteration so cannot tell how it compares. It plays very similarly to the Lightseekers game also developed by Play Fusion, with cards rotating to provide attacks, and Gwent where cards must be deployed to specific positions on the mat. A player places 4 "champions" on the playing surface defining which type of cards, warrior or mage (red or blue) can be played in that lane. Champions may or may not have heroic actions that take place of an action during that turn. They also have quests that unlock abilities. These quests take the form of playing specific cards into their lane in specific orders. The game can be won or lost on those abilities, but also without them so i guess they are balanced. All these are good features, but playing from my phone i am constantly struggling to find my cards zones of control. These are often on the card descriptions on the expanded picture, but today i had to expand a picture, read a card, check its zone of control shrink the screen to determine it's optimal place on the board and just as i was about to place it the app timed me out and made the choice for me. Which while still effective was not the card i would have played, nor where i would have played it to. I gave the game a 3 because at the time of writing i am worried about the balance between factions. Part of this could be contributed to getting used to the new system but i lost twice trying to unlock order, once trying to unlock chaos but with death, i won and unlocked without a loss. Given that i am a casual card gamer what is the difference here. I believe it is "tempo" others might call it presence or control. The death deck has a tempo better suited to the game with easier methods of both drawing cards and recycling cards to the field. With only two actions a turn anything that increases this tempo needs to be carefully looked at. My other issue that others have stated is that a lack of a genuine tutorial really hurts this games acessibility. It is difficult to understand when an ability afdects a card or not, especially since the graphics denoting control change from card to card. Shadowverse builds the concepts in gradually, though is a freemium game, and other games already have an established pedigree with Magic being the elephant in the room. I was almost going to put this down after the first loss but i decided to persevere. Best of luck.

5 ★Very interesting and unique mechanics. Gameplay is pretty challenging, and I'm having a great time learning the strategies. can play the full game for free as far as i can see, but also ties to the physical version. Look online got people sharing their booster scans, you can get a bunch of free stuff from them. I really like this game so far, and see no need to buy into the physical cards.

4 ★It's great for the most part but some really annoying choices like when an opponent plays a card that requires some kind of choice it takes up, and freezes, your entire screen. This is the time when ideally I'd be looking at my opponent's discard pile instead of staring blankly at one card. Also the timer is way too long. Finally - why the hell did you ban Cruisin for a Bruisin from ranked play, then reinstate it, without EVER communicating with your customers?

5 ★Does shuffling the deck even work? I can't tell you how many times I've returned a card to the deck, that is then shuffled, and draw that 1 card the next time I draw. The odds of that happening are pretty great. The fact I've seen it happen multiple times... those odds are much more extensive. Nerf Destruction with their extra turns, or give the other factions plenty of cards with the same effect. Playing Destruction isn't even fun, and the only thing that can challenge it is another Destruction deck. Fix the Death faction, particularly the Risen decks. They just need a few tweaks to make them competitive, and possibly even stand up to Destro decks. The Aelf really don't belong with Stormbringers, there is 0 synergy, make them their own faction. Increasing mission rewards so more players can make Destro decks does not fix the problem. This game has been enjoyable thus far, but unless more cards and some balancing take place, this game will die.

5 ★The game plays out great. It does not heat up my phone, so I don't think the battery saving option is necessary. I do hope they make the in-game board more compatible with 18:9 screens, as currently it is only 16:9 with in-game borders around it. Also, please add the option to fight a "random alignment" opponent in practice. Overall - solid game :)

2 ★A bit of a logistical mess. Some cards were straight forward while other cards were conflicting. One card said it would remove a unit when played. But when playing the card it did nothing. Another situation was playing instant type cards at times I was able to play it with another unit I controlled in the lane and other times I was not able to play a card. In the end I felt like there are better things I could do with my time than to stumble through this game trying to make sense of it.

2 ★The Warhamner theme of this game is too gloomy and gory to be enjoyable but by die-hard fans. The graphics are mostly sharp but still fell like retro. And everything seems slow, especially the card playing animations. That's really a pity because all this distracts from an otherwise great game. PlayFusion took the mechanics they devised for Lightseekers a few steps further. So Champions is even more innovative (and different of most if not all other ccg avaible on Android). And the gameplay is really good! Oh, I almost forgot: the possibility to scan actual cards to add them to our virtual collection is fantastic.
