Heroic - Magic Duel

It's a good game in the genre. However, the things that make it unique -- the campaign, items, and events; are all locked until after you reach a high amount of trophies from winning PVP! What a strange choice. It's like GTA only allowing you to free roam after beating half the game. In such a crowded mobile game market, I don't understand why people would choose to hide their selling points.

This game is quite amazing. Lots of challenges. Though training ground needs a little bit of an upgrade as the level 6 impossible to finish. There is no power balance at that level which doesn't allow anyone to clear that level. The points that we gain post battle for Ascension needs to be increased. We gain way too little points against cumulative points which is no fun.

Honestly, I really wanted to like this game but due to the extreme levels of game unbalance, I just can't. At every level of the game, there are cards that seem to be used in every deck, others rarely, if ever. If you invested in a card but it's now near-useless because of power-creep? Sorry outta luck. Now onto the battles: battles are determined within the first 30 seconds of gameplay - very little skill involved afterwards. I'm not sure these issues can be solved, so I cannot recommend this.

This is a well balanced strategy card game that keeps you on your toes with rts elements. You have to take into account the distance and time that you would place your units as there is a small casting time for each. You have to know the spells the other opponents has and the game gets more complex and more fun as your progress. Each unit seems to have a purpose and none of them feel useless. The chest system is annoyingly slow and progress feels limited at times.

Edit 2 I love it but I hate the algorithm. The game itself is awesome, I am a busy guy so I just wanted a game that I can play whenever I want without having to have to check it every so many hours or days to keep it up. But the algorithm it really bad sometimes, it's impossible to wind some games, your opponents will have really strong creatures like abomination, so it makes it frustrating to play when you get those 2 or three times in a row.

Neat graphics and gameplay. Not really a chess game, but the strategy is kind of like chess. The card system is an interesting play. The monsters are definitely cool. It gets repetitive and you essentially either have to pay to win to get better cards. Or grind and grind until you get better ones. Definitely strong on the pay to win aspect though.

Needs some tweeking. 3 hours for low level chests is too long, maybe short to an hour. The game play is engaging and fun. However, I find I dont want to play because my chest slots are full and I would gain nothing from playing more. Upgrading mechanics are solid, but slowed due to slow opening of chests. It's fun, it's simple with the potential for more complex play. The controls are intuitive and the mechanics make sense. I want to play more, but why play if I wont be rewarded or progress?

The game looks awesome and feels amazing to play but as the time passes you realize (which will take you like 5 playing sessions or so) that it takes so damn long for chests to open, you have 4 slots for chests but you can't open more than 1 at a time, and in general to advance it requires micro trans or a HUGE amount of time (and well I mean An ENORMOUS amount of time). 2 stars and that's for the feel of the game and the nice job on the graphics and the gameplay.

It's a fun game, but it suffers from the same problem that other games like it do. Early on you can get through the ranks pretty easily, but after a certain point where certain cards are unlocked you're stuck in an almost perpetual grind until you get that card and have a shot at winning. You can also just pay for chests to have a shot at getting them. Wouldn't recommend unless you don't plan on playing it for long, really like the grind, or have no problem throwing your money around.

Although it's similar to Clash Royale it is entirely different in almost every possible aspect, including the leveling and spawning system. The Pay-To-Win is difficult to point out unless they've obviously spent three figures. There are several lanes, a deck size of 12, low chest opening times, and high incentive to play. As you go up it gets more difficult, but the same can be said for all these games. If you can't win, change up according to what you see most. It's easy, just try a little.

The game concept and design is great,one of my favorites, but it needs a lot more objectives/rewards in the campaign or quests to give the players something to do while leveling up. Also it seems there is a huge gap between p2p and f2p players given the rewards and what the shop offers. Edit: The league does not make sense, it takes in account damage done instead of wins/loses. A person who loses all of his games but just plays a lot can have a higher rank in the league.

Good, not great. It's possible to play without paying anything, but it's obvious those who do have a pretty massive advantage. Worse, though, is the overall sense of skill vs luck. Winning is satisfying to a degree, but overall games are generally one-sided. Either you snowball to victory or get stomped with almost no ability to out-play your opponent. Losing feels really bad and frustrating because you feel helpless, not like you got outplayed. Worth playing, but could be so much better.

I love(d) this game the main problem I have is fighting other people which is the point of the game. after the initial start of the game where you face new people you fight better players, which would be great but the balance of it is terrible. you can have all the beginning minions and then fight someone who has all of them because they have the same trophies as you do. so when you play against these you get destroyed everytime and there is no chance of beating them.

The game is cool. I don't think balance is that much of an issue. A balanced deck should give you enough options to counter any minion, the spells feel kinda random though. My main issue is the friends part. There is no option to add players as friends. Even the people from my guild. Why do I have to add them to Facebook first? It doesn't make sense. Especially when there are so many things ingame friends can help you with. As for the chests it is fine as long as we can get the 8 wins chests.

This is quite fun, each character has a very unique skillset which allows for some interesting strategic builds. Plus when you unlock the events the new game modes make it even more challenging and interesting. If only the card shop was a bit cheaper, it's currently screaming "pay to win" even though the deck doesn't make a good player, but it sure helps.

Good game. Small changes could be made, such as matching players by cards collected vs trophies. I've yet to receive anything above abomination, I've been playing for almost 6 months....sup with that? Other than that though, the graphics and gameplay cant be topped. The ppl behind this app are on top of updates constantly too, so the game always has something new to do.

Honestly, a great system that just needs more time on the market. After playing many games in a less than a day, it is clear that this "free" game is geared toward quickly forcing you to invest money to open chests/upgrade minions. With more time out for the makers to create a wider variety of playstyles (and, hopefully, to better stagger the money sink), this will be a forerunner in strategy games.

I would give it 5 stars but there seems to be an issue with audio quality. Having crackling noise on sound. Please fix this problem as the game itself is great. Graphics and gameplay are very good will continue to play as long as this audio problem is looked into. Gets very annoying after a while.

I like the game overall but can't rate it higher than a 3 due to the excessive wait times to open chests. You can only carry 4 and can only open one at a time. It takes an hour and a half to open even a simple chest. This means after playing only 4 battles I have no incentive to log back into the game for at least 90 minutes. And the better chests take even longer! This actually forces me to stop playing the game. It makes no sense.

Seems like a game I would play for a long time.. Great looking graphics and easy controls. Great job guys!--- I have downloaded this back after awhile, it seems they have made it easier for us to progress. And the game play is more smooth now & love how it is not greedy at all like the other developers. You have to be patient to go through and progress, that is all. Definitely a joy to play!

Pros: nice graphics, smooth gameplay, smooth interface. Overall the game runs well, battles are kinda fun, and graphics are really nice. I must say, I haven't lost a single match in over 15 battles and I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually playing real people. Halfway through the battle, they just stop playing cards and I always end up destroying them. Not very fun when nobody is even close to a challenge. Cons: Need to work on the chest unlocking. Set up a queue like clash royale for eg.

The game is fun and great for graphics nice animations and the battles run smoothly. But there's a big problem in two things 1.) Your units are not balanced at all in the slightest specifically in the case of the shadow hunters who got some reason it's disgustingly strong and the Knockback is way too high considering it pushes back with every shot 2.) You need to increase your rarity drops I've only gotten 3 epics and I'm already in arena 4 I don't like to lose because I'm a free to play

Once you get past the beginning stuff it just isn't fun anymore. It just becomes defeat after defeat with no accomplishments. Like another review on here said, you either dominate the opponent or they dominate you. The fact that it has no real balanced matching system doesn't help. It is based on how many trophies you have, not what is actually in your deck, so everytime I would get someone that had either grinded the game for hours more then me or spent a lot of money to get way higher levels.

I really like the art of the game. The monsters are incredibly good! However, this game needs balance. Nuke spells seem to define the game, so far. I deleted the game because the events were imbalanced. For some reason they made it so that could battle other people who have a lot higher level monsters. In events, which was so bad.

some time ago it suddenly turned out that the players began to play against opponents of level 8. Moreover, 100 out of 100 games. Simple arithmetic shows that to get this level each player must spend about 3-4 thousand dollars, because otherwise he would have to spend several years on leveling. However, it is unlikely that out of 10,000 it is exactly 1% of opponents with such levels, while in the top other players with a lower level and these opponents cannot be found in the list of players. Wh

Good strategic depth, and engaging combat. I thoroughly enjoy the gameplay, and the deck concept with different heroes that each have multiple spells to choose from. It is yet another game that uses timed unlockable reward chests with limited chest slots, which I dislike greatly. That coupled with droprates for rare minions, that favor lower tier rare minions, makes getting higher tier minions ridiculously difficult. It gets very frustrating losing to those cards trying to get your own copy.
