Got this app about a week ago because I am a fan of the tabletop game and wanted to give it a shot. As usual I was hesitant to a PvP because they can easily become pay to win. However so far the game seems pretty balance. As someone who will only spend a max of $5 on an app I don’t feel like I’m at a disadvantage in PvP. That said the system to earn new cards is a little frustrating. You have 4 slots where new packs are available but you can only open 1 at a time. Opening a pack consists of waiting the 3 to 8+ hours before you can collect it. So at a point you are left to just put the game down because there’s nothing for you to gain. I feel like this could be helped by making packs immediately open and then having the slot take 3hrs before becoming usable again. That way players can get the immediate satisfaction of their prize instead of begrudgingly waiting for something they’ve “earned”. That or simply allowing multiple packs would be nice. What really made me rate this game highly is their “ticket” help system. There is an in-app help messaging system where you can text in your issues and they respond in a reasonable amount of time. The ease of receiving help is such a nice addition that the developers didn’t have to include but did, and in a way that makes it easy for both parties.
Fun, but still needs work.

I now have about 20 hours on this game and I feel like I have enough time to finally critique this game. The pros? Solid, easy to get into gameplay for fans and new admirers of the 40K universe. Using actual pictures of the miniatures is a good choice in my opinion. The gameplay is fun and fluid, and you can play match after match easily. The matches only take about 2 minutes to complete so it doesn’t feel like you’re out a huge amount of time if you lose. Interface is intuitive but I wish the detection was better. There’s a lot on the screen and sometimes it’s super difficult to click proper icons. However, for the cons? Faction balancing is honestly a nightmare. If you play with a T’au commander, you win. If your opponent uses Commissar Yarrick, there’s a huge chance you’ll win. I’m not going to complain about loot packs and pay to win, because this is a video game in 2019, but what I will say is the fact that you can only have 3 opening at a time, even though you have slots for the kill pack, 5 of the randoms, and the daily pack is kind of defeatist. Why not have all 5 opening at the same time? There’s no reason to play more than five or so matches a day because of this. The kills you make don’t go towards anything. Why not have wins count as EXP or something? Since the progression is so slow, I can see people getting bored of it quickly. Just a thought. Right now the game is very bare bones, and I do expect and want it to get better, and I hope this helps the developers, and people to choose wether or not to play.

What is this ranking system??? Bro I’m a veteran and I’m getting match with people who are Eldiritch Raider. I don’t care if their rank level is near mines, their actual ranking is not. It’s not fair. They have more points and their cards are obviously more leveled up because they are higher ranked in general. Do not match based off of rank points, match based off of the level they are in. I hardly get matched with other veterans, it’s always people who are levels higher than me. We also need more coins and cards to level up. It’s hard to especially level up the warlord, you would have to wait til that week comes to level up. And you can only buy one 💀. I wish there were ways we could get the cards we want more easily than waiting for so long. I do understand that you guys are trying to make money, but I feel there might be better ways to do that. I think maybe instead of using plasma or coins to unlock the rewards, use ads. Although I don’t know how much you would earn from that. I feel like maybe it would help, adding the options to watch ads to get the cards. Maybe have us watch ads 2 times to get rewards, please don’t make the ads 15 or 30 seconds if you can control it. If the ads are 15 or 30 seconds long, I doubt people will start watching the ads. Also make sure to add it as a option, don’t make it mandatory.

As a fan of the Warhammer 40k universe, this game was already cool before I started playing it a bunch. The gameplay is tactful without being too overly complicated. The card packs within the store can be earned at a reasonable pace without pumping any money into the game, and there are events fairly frequently.There are some lacking pieces though. There isn’t any real way to play with your friends or connect to them in game in any meaningful way yet (hopefully guilds will be introduced soon to solve this dilemma). Another issue I have with the game is the poor amount of customization available to your calling cards and that. I’ve only noticed one opportunity to obtain more unique profile customization, but they are way overpriced, costing about 750 plasma a piece. To put this in perspective, I could use that plasma to buy 2 card packs which would give me a total of 64 cards! That is a lot of plasma to simply waste on a calling card or border for your profile that is seemingly unimportant due to the lack of connection with others and lack of real impact or incentive to collect them. I think it would be better to put them as rewards for doing well in faction specific events.Overall, it is a fun game, but it has some work to do before it can really be a great game.
