Astral Heroes vs Faeria
Astral Heroes
Astral Heroes is a digital card game that will most certainly make heads turn due to their bold innovations to the CCG genre along with some excellent game balance and card designs. With a plethora of unique features that somewhat turns the collectible cards genre over on its head, you’ll be able to experience a more in-depth card play. Although the game is a free-to-play, it is fairer than most digital card games out there as well due to its lack of “special” cards.Unfortunately, the game walled off its amazing PvE campaign by forcing players to attain a certain rank in PvP - a move which has turned away a lot of players who only wanted to enjoy the amazing gameplay and not compete with other players.
That said, if you’re tired of playing digital card games that are mere Hearthstone clones, Astral Heroes will definitely be able to make you fall into love with the CCG genre all over again. Try it now!
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
