Great in the beginning, but cards are too hard to get and the random merging makes it hard to have the cards you need. The down grading of weapons, you've worked hard to get, is disappointing. I play this game daily, but I have to drop my rating to 1 until game play and card mechanics are improved. A mechanic that needs to be added is a way to disassemble cards. That way when they NERF weapons, you can try for otherones.

This game is a fun concept, but at this point im convinced the Developers are trolling TF out of us with their updates. The fusion algorithm is complete trash and absolute ragebait. Plus, the "random" selection of weapons in Hoardes isnt random. You need 5 or more weapons in your deck of the targeted element to get slected. If you have 4 or less then the element you need to fight the hoarde will not be randomized. This game is designed to force you into paying a LOT of money to play it.

Started off really fun but then it comes to a point where the game is basically unplayable. Not enough resources to pull for better cards and no way to get gems unless you pay for them in order to advance gameplay. The fusion system kicks out the same cards over and over so no advancement there either. I really like the game but these issues turns a good game into a really bad one. If you're looking for a decent game, Wall Brawl is the way to go.
