Mythgard

I don’t usually write reviews, but this game is one of the most amazing strategy games I’ve ever played and I’ve been gaming for a very long time. It’s the most feature complete CCG I’ve ever played, anything you could possibly wish for is in the game including a full replay mode in your profile history. The game is generous to new players, and my first 24 hours of gameplay vaulted this easily into my all time strategy favorites. The depth of strategy and unique tactics available is truly breathtaking. I believe Mythgard transcends its CCG category to become an all time strategy classic. I tried this game because of all the amazing reviews it gets, and I completely agree with each of those reviews! Now it’s my turn to pass it on, and recommended this masterpiece to someone else. You will be richly rewarded for trying this game! On a final note, Thank You so much to the developers for literally gifting this brilliance to us players. It’s no wonder you’ve gained so many raving fans. Job extremely well done!

I've been looking for a good card game ever since quitting Hearthstone due to the insane power creep and the RNG getting worse. So I've experimented with Gwent, Eternal and Mythgard. Mythgard wins for me hands-down. At first, I was kind of repulsed by the art-style and lore (I love it now btw) but somehow kept seeing this game being talked about on Reddit and forums so I gave it another chance and I'm so glad I did. Once you get used to it it's an almost transcendental experience. I love the unique and satisfying combat system and the use of burning cards for mana. In Eternal I found I would lose a lot based on just whether I drew too much or too little mana. Plus F2P friendly and rotating community decks every few days to help jump in. I say give it a go if you're looking for a solid CCG.

Despite a few reservations (no weekly specials or even one for open beta launch thus far and tutorial needs fleshing out. If your are free to play it’s a grind for sure, but the commons and uncommons are so strong, if you stick to value picks you will be surprisingly effective), this game was in alpha with more and better features than established CCGs out there. The mythril currency also needs more diversity, as with it being premium, it should have more usability- I just threw mine at packs for what I felt wasn’t a great rate- crafting would be awesome sauce. The devs are very active on discord and reddit, and respond to legitimate concerns. Art style will take some getting used to (think modernized mythology with punk swag), but the art itself is absolutely top notch. Gameplay is smooth and efficient. Games don’t feel drawn out (play timer should be shortened, though). The match replay feature is superb, as it lets you see your opponent’s hand so you can get a much better idea of what was happening during your match. It’s a complex game (but not too complex) and has a lot of features and depth overall. Some accuse it of too much, and until the tutorial is improved and expanded, I’ll have to agree. I had this originally rated at five stars, but I knew I was being a bit of a fan boy. A couple of the above issues get fixed, and I will GLADLY bump it back to five. This game could have been released in alpha and could have been a contender with the best. Heavily developed my MTG pros and HOF player (and elite folks from other well known games), they sought out to fix the worst problems with those games and have succeeded.
