Traitors Empire Card RPG

How did I not know about this game before? It really has the best of all worlds and they are all executed either nearly perfectly or just plain PERFECT: Turn Based? Check. RPG elements? Check. Character Building? Story? Check. CCG? Check. PVP? You bet. Crafting? Yep. Special events and challenges? Every Day. The list can literally go on and on with how much there is to do in this game and how FUN it is when it all comes together... Oh yeah... and there is NO PAY WALL so I bought some gems and starter packs to support the dev. If you miss this one, shame on you!

So, the game is a basic strategy game that blends turn-based mechanics with deck-building. Think of it as Gloomhaven-esque, but not nearly as complex either in combat or story. Regardless, it’s fun. Graphics - good enough. They are adequate. The big downside is that your characters rarely change with new equipment. Story - cheesy and predictable. However, unlike most stories in mobile games, I read this one. It was fun with a handful of decent one-liners and a narrative that (gasp) made sense. It didn’t take itself too seriously but was rooted in fantasy. In other words, forgettable story but entertaining in its 30 second snippets. Gameplay - I mentioned the mechanics, which are fun in small doses. There’s also a low level PVP system and an attempt at guild building. The one big detracting is the you can’t create your own character. An RPG with no character creation - tsk tsk. FTP or PTW - FTP with some commercial watching to gain gems. I dropped a couple bucks on the game as a donation but, honestly, it made no impact on my game. Download it. Play it. Watch some commercials so the developer makes a buck. And then delete after a week or two.

A deck of any size says can be used then when you are in a team it says max 150 and you can’t edit the deck without losing cards. Why would I want to reduce a deck from 239 to 150???????? Your spawn rates on these matches are laughable. 15 enemies spawn that are level 13 while you can only max any character to level 15. Oh and why don’t you tell everyone you are not even finished the game? That’s right the game stalls half way through saying “to be continued “. Who makes characters that max out at 15 when you have to fight triple the enemies that are 13? It’s not about buying cards packs stop with the money grabs. It’s impossible numbers. You all are baiting people into buying in game stuff and have no intention of finishing the game. 7 months published and nothing past level 15. Laughable

Was a fun game through level 6. Now I’m stuck and can’t progress any further in the story. Seriously, 3 heroes vs 5-7 enemies (including a boss and a spawn point for them) is crazy and the enemy range units can hit me at twice the distance that my ranged heroes can. I can’t even use melee heroes because the range ones just run away and hit me at a distance. Also, the card concept is awesome, but SO slow and aggravating. Waiting for the enemies to work their way through their turn is excruciating and having to click a card, have it blown up, and having to click it again (I guess to confirm?) is frustrating. I figured I made some rookie mistakes in the beginning with weapons and leveling up, but I can’t reset my progress and try again. Seems like there’s no good way to progress unless I dump a lot of money into the game.

It’s nice, but as with all free-to-play games, it’s geared to drive in-app-purchases more than it tries to deliver excellent gameplay. But that’s the nature of the beast and I’d rather have it ftp, than no game at all and fortunately there are no annoying popup Ads. Otherwise, a few minor issues: I’d rather double-tap to confirm targets than long-press. Long-press is cumbersome and better suited for infrequent ui actions. I also wish the line-of-sight mechanic had a bit more leeway, seems like some positions should have los but targets are ineligible to be attacked. Overall, despite these minor issues, game offers some legitimate tactical RPG gameplay.
