[PC] Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

Recommended Posts

So yeah, a game that got my attention for a few weeks already, and finally us Europeans can finally enter the closed beta. I got in last week and played a lot of it already =)

 

But what is Hearthstone?

Hearthstone is a free2play CCG (Collectible Card Game) by Blizzard, similar to Magic: The Gathering, only set in a Warcraft-universe =)

 

You can take role as one of the 9 heroes, who all have their own specific power, and card-decks, beside the regular decks. The more you play, the more credits you get, the more cardpacks you can purchase to get a more diverse deck along the way. Pretty straight forward CCG if you ask me.

 

What makes it so interesting however is that it is really well put together, and that it is very based on luck. A good deck doesn't make you a winner, a good hand does.

 

For example, yesterday I had a match as a mage against a warlock, and I was down to 7 health versus 28 health+6armor for my enemy. I had only 3 cards left in my hand, he 4, and he had the upperhand on the board. I was only getting shit cards with high mana that couldn't do anything to clear the board at the time, untill all of a sudden I started getting my taunt-cards I was aiming for. 3 turns later, I had still my 7 health, while my enemy was slaughtered =)

Anyway, my favourite deck by now is a Mage-deck with a lot of taunt, or a Priest with health-buffs.
