Card Game meets World War II

KARDS, The WW2 Card Game, combines traditional CCG gameplay with innovative mechanics inspired by classic strategy games and real battlefield tactics. Take command and challenge other players in grand-scale warfare on the ground, air, or seas.

KARDS is completely free to play with all features available from the start. You can earn all cards through regular gameplay, daily missions and an extensive achievement system.

KARDS blends familiar trading card gameplay that make it easy to learn and are combined with innovative mechanics that provide strategic depth and tactical diversity. Innovative frontline mechanics allows you to better protect your support assets and take the battle to your enemy. Rush your enemies with Blitzkrieg tactics, gain air superiority or dig in for bitter defensive warfare until you outproduce and outgun your enemies

WW2 nations in KARDS:
BRITAIN - Lords of the skies and the oceans
The vast empire was caught off guard when the WW2 broke out, but adapted quickly to new types of warfare. With their formidable fleet, advanced aircraft and incredible stubbornness, the British forces never gave an inch without a fight.

USA - Outproduce, outgun and bring hell from the skies
Although joining the WW2 later than the other major powers, the USA had been preparing their production lines and supporting their allies for years. Completely outproducing their Axis enemies, the Americans were eventually able to launch offensive operations of epic proportions in all theaters.

THE SOVIET UNION - The mighty red army
At the outbreak of WW2, although large on paper, the forces of the Soviet Union were badly equipped, trained and organized. This would change fast. Forged through fire and blood during the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army would soon become the mightiest war machine the world had ever seen.

JAPAN - Sunrise in the east
Completely underestimated by the Allies in the WW2, the Japanese Imperial Army and Navy swept across South-Asia and the Pacific in a lightning war of their own. Initially the Japanese had complete air superiority in the area and a fearsome navy which included the heaviest battleships ever constructed.

GERMANY - Pioneers of blitzkrieg
Crushing their enemies with Blitzkrieg tactics, hard pressing armoured units and mechanised formations, the German Wehrmacht was at its best on the offensive in WW2. Battle of annihilation would be their favourite doctrine. Compared to the Allies, Germany did not have a lot of ships but in the depths of the oceans roamed fearsome packs of wolves... ready to strike at the their prey.

FRANCE / The flame of the French resistance
Before WW2 many believed that the French had the most powerful military in Europe, but they were not prepared for the German Blitzkrieg advance. Although defeated, they did not give up the fight. The Free French Forces continued the fight against the Axis on foreign soil while The French Resistance disrupted and demoralised the German occupation forces at home.

ITALY - Restoration of the Roman empire
While not ready for a long lasting conflict at the outbreak of the WW2, Italy tried to seize the opportunity believing that the British Empire was about to collapse from the German offensive. With ambitions to restore Italy to the status of the old Roman Empire, the Italian forces were concentrated on major offensives in the Africa and the Middle East.

POLAND - Fight from exile!
Before and during WW2, Polish intelligence gathering and crypto-analysis experts contributed significantly to cracking the famous Enigma code. Their exiled forces fought fiercely during the Battle of Britain and other campaigns alongside their allies in WW2-Europe.

Great game but very expensive in-app purchases

This is a great conversion of the web based version that has been out for a while. It runs fine in my old iPad Pro with no real issues. The game mechanism is really good, simple to pick up, but with enough depth to make battles quite tactical. The different countries have specific play styles and I like that. The card artwork is really good and the audio is quite immersive. PVP opponents don’t take too long to find at the moment and the time out mechanism for absent players kicks in quite quickly.

The daily log in prize is a nice (but very slow) way to build a collection. Once you have finished the starter campaigns for each country there isn’t too much too do other than battle other players.

The in-app purchases are incredibly expensive. I can buy an older AAA rated game on Steam for the price of a few packets of cards. Other than the welcome pack (bought as a tip to the devs) I can’t see myself spending any more ‘real’ money.

Kards - Gwent, with tanks.

Not played for that long, but enough to have some first impressions…
Stylised very similarly to Gwent, menus, artwork, game style…But set during WW2.
Good artwork, soundtrack, effect sounds…and most importantly gameplay. Really enjoying it so far. The faction styles seem close enough to be competitive, but still having an national identity relative to the era and army strategy back then e.g Russian infantry waves, Japanese Kamikaze, British Airforce, German Armor etc.
Interesting card mechanics mean you can really get your teeth into deck building and finding strong card connections and strategies.

Only 1* removed, as I think the monetisation is a ‘Little’ on the steep side. I appreciate its free to play, and they give you opportunities to earn all of the currencies (They don’t hold one in game currency back for only paid transactions), so you can drip feed your earnings to slowly increase card collections. So it’s more like 4.5*.

All in all, I’m glad I’ve found a mobile card game that makes me feel like Gwent used to!
Just hope it doesn’t fall into a stagnant ‘meta deck’ style!

Great mix of tactics, chance and atmosphere

I came to this game as Star Trek Adversaries shut down and it plays very similar but in a WWII guise. Very enjoyable though purchases in the shop are a bit dear. However, you get one free card every day and rewards for playing are fair so you can build your collection without spending a penny, albeit slowly. Research on the Kards deck website is essential to build a winning deck, and the periodic updates introduce new cards in the meta so you have to keep adapting your deck as well as your strategy. Deck cards have to work together though some are ridiculously overpowered. You can encounter some uber players so you have to be prepared to take a good licking, too. Good learning opportunity though! All in all, it’s very enjoyable, the art is gorgeous and you can learn some history on the fly. I hope it stays around longer than Star Trek Adversaries!
