So been playing this since the original post and have to say, I like it a damn lot. The free to play model is very generous compared to a lot of f2p titles and especially clash royale. I have like half the cards in the game already in about a month of playing.
And not having to level them up like in clash royale is like being freed from prison. I would also say if you were remotely decent at clash you will dominate in this. The community is comparatively easier at this stage.
Duo mode is a hell of a lot of fun and a nice break from solo play.
Xbox version had some lag and frame rate issues that have been improved. Haven't tried the steam version yet. The community is small but the game deserves more praise imo.
