Stormbound 9+

Stormbound is a very well-made game that mixes board game and deck-building strategies to create a balanced and exciting online strategy game. A wide selection of cards enables a player to build a deck based upon their personal playing styles, and the limit on how many cards can be in you deck forces you to choose wisely.
No system is perfect, however. Slight problems in the balancing of the game do exist. Some people complain that the marching system is unfair and that some people use “money decks” to cheat their way to the top. I personally think that Ironclad and Dragon decks need to be a little less powerful. However, the developers are very good about dealing with these issues. “Money decks” are hard to assemble, because nearly all card acquisition is randomized. Frequent card-balancing patches are made. Players are divided into ranks depending on their standings in pvp, so you aren’t likely to face many people that are out of your league (when you do, it’s probably just because someone didn’t play for a long time and hasn’t recovered from the rank reset yet).

There are going to be games you lose horribly, but that’s no reason to quit or decide not to download this game. If you lose all the time, revise your deck. Despite what other reviews will tell you, I have found that a well put together deck and a good strategy can win even the toughest of battles.

Im starting off w the positives, the gameplay is fun, engaging, and does have some depth to it (skill-wise). The graphics/graphics styles are great. And there is a snse of progression as you expand your deck. A game definitely worth playing! However, there are a few negatives as well. To start off, progression is slow, and not in a rewarding way but in a, “I'm constantly low on resources” way. The game is pretty pay to win and expensive at that (The collectors edition is 100$! and still does give you every card 😭). On top of that lobbies are pretty empty with bots who are annoyingly bad being in half my low lvl games. Solutions: - Make resources easier to get (but not too easy as to keep the rewarding feeling of getting good cards), reduce the pay to win factor by releasing a collectors edition of the game as a whole separate app that like 5$ not 100$ 💀 - Add a trading system where u can trade cards you don’t want/need for resources or t cards of the same rarity - Make it so you pay for visual changes (i.e the constructs look cooler), not as much actual advantages in play - Lastly make the bots a bit better and add a slightly longer campaign with a basic story to make the campaign feel more well rounded - make it so you don’t need internet to launch the app so u can play offline In conclusion, the game is definitely worth playing, but there is room for improvement (The review is kinda aimed at the devs).
