Artifact Digital Card Game First Impressions and Review 8/10
4Very interesting game with a lot of depth. Unlike Hearthstone you have 3 boards to control. Unlike smashing the face of the hero you have to destroy each tower, 40 health. After a tower is destroyed it leaves an ancient, 80 health. To win you have to destroy 2 towers.
There are 5 hereos you have, you spawn with 3, one in each of the three lanes. When a hero is destroyed by other heroes or minions/creeps they need a turn to rest, they keep all their items, but I don't think they keep spell effects. Heros can be buffed by buying items, like healing them or giving them armor and weapons or more health. Unlike in hearthstone where your core hereo cannot really be buffed beyond using its hero power.
Simply put there is a LOT more depth to the game, is it super complex? No, but there is a LOT to learn with all the mechanics that are straight forward.
Money wise:
I spend almost $100-$200 each HS expansion so spending money is no stranger in any card game imo. What is awesome is if you want a card, unlike spending dust, which for legendaries in HS is a nightmare, you can simply buy the card for as little as $0.04. Now if your not as poor as a goblin peddling bad hobbit pipe weed, this should be easy for you to afford, especially in comparision to other card games. It does miss the free to play elements like dailies, so for competitive players you will need to open a lot of packs or buy select cards, which isn't a big deal.
On average it is just about as expensive as HS, and yes I wish there were dailies to open packs as well which motivated players to play, which I'm sure they might change in the future.
But the fact that there are so many unique color/combos and items that you can use gives this game a lot of depth and creativity that hearthstone lacks.
The game is built for advanced players imo, and probably will take a lot more skill to master than hearthstone which also relies more and more on RNG elements. You can even fortify towers and give lanes buffs and cross buff other lanes.
Being a multiple legend HS player, and an angry orc most of the time, I would recommend this game and give it a solid 8/10 for now, but it is probably the best card game on the market so far, and it is something new and fresh.
