MARVEL SNAP 9+

A slick card-battler, well implemented with quick matches. The depth of the roster is impressive and you only need a little patience to get your hands on all the cards. You can buy a season pass each month (around £9 in local currency; not a recurring transaction so you can purchase once without worrying about cancelling a subscription) which will give you the featured card on launch day plus a few minor cosmetic extras and a little additional currency, but the game stacks up even without that. No cards are locked behind a paywall. As cards get older, they drop down a ranked-scale making them easier and quicker to acquire without any need to spend money. You can buy extra currency if you want to speed up the process but the game is great either way. Devs often get a hard time for in-game purchases but this game is free to download and has zero adverts. For those who want to spend a bit of cash to support the game, there are options to suit every budget. For those who don’t want to spend, just bide your time. 100% recommended.

The game is a fresh take on the most points win card game genre. If you’ve played gwent you’ll easily move into snap. The art and card design are great. The matches are fluid and the overall feel of the game is extremely polished, probably one of the best feeling games out there.

Should be noted that if you’re a f2p player you’ll have to play for a while before you’ll be able to play with most of the collection. The game isn’t p2w because you will eventually get all the collection (minus the newest cards) and as your collection progresses into series 2 you’ll easily create an infinite viable deck so long as you understand the meta, cube management and knowing when to retreat. Without a reasonable understanding of these concepts no player; regardless of collection size, can climb to infinite.

The only improvements I can add is to make the in game wallpapers fill the screen, as on the iPhone 14 pro max some screens leave a black bar at the top. Also adding cosmetic boards would be nice, I’m getting tired of playing on a big space rock.

I absolutely love this game. I struggled with ranked earlier this season which slowly put me off the game as I wasn’t going anywhere but the thing is with this game, you can make decks better which I absolutely love. So as of last night I hit infinite for the third time which I was happy about. The thing I wanted to talk about and give feedback on is the the new system. I think it’s brilliant! A really good way to get cards but getting 50 tokens or 150 credits is a let down and gold would be nice to have again. Furthermore the limited time challenges you set up are great as well but sometimes there’s a challenge where I don’t have the card. Now what I was thinking was maybe give everyone who doesn’t have the “said” card for that period of time to do the challenge and get the tokens or gold and then when it expires take it away so it can be a way for everyone to test the new card to see if they want. Overall I really do enjoy the game and can’t wait for the future!
