Stormbound for Negative User Reviews
✓ Fun but what is the point?I’ve played over this weekend, completed the tutorial, all the campaigns though there is no story involved so they may as well be called increasingly harder games vs CPU, and I’m struggling to find the point or replayability of the game. Otherwise good graphics and sound, great art, and while there are little daily challenges to complete along the way, the gotta catch them all aspect isn’t appealing. Kept up the good work devs but it definitely needs more story content to keep players engaged..Version: 1.3.4
✓ New factions long overdue / lack of contentUsed to love this game when it first came out a few years ago. Just came back and unfortunately not much has changed about it. I assume the developers have shifted their attention and energy onto other projects which is very disheartening considering the potential this immersive card game had to rival alongside with popular mobile games such as clash of clans, pokemon go, and even gwent or south parks phone destroyers. I remember the main factor that held this game back were the micro-transactions that made it feel like a pay to win game. That weight has lightened over the years but it still feels very much the same. Also the lack of content for the game hasn’t progressed much. They definitely need to add in more factions and develop new interesting maps and modes and ways for you to interact with other players in the community using the app. I’m probably cherry picking but man what a let down to what could have been so promising for many people. Still a solid game for when you’re stuck on the toilet.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Fun, but is in desperate need of balancingI decided to download this game a couple of weeks ago. Since then, I’ve played it just about every day and have had fun doing it. The art style is great, the mechanics are simple, but near perfect, and the collectible cards are unique and fun. However, my one big complaint is that some cards are just ridiculously overpowered. I have found this especially in the ironclad types. At the beginning of a game, other players are able to play overpowered cards for very cheap. When these particular cards are played in the first one or two rounds, you can be almost certain you will lose that game. Overall, the game is great, but definitely needs to be more balanced. Note to developers: Most cards that directly attack your base more or, “Deal damage to enemies in front” need to be nerfed, or at least cost more mana. If a player plays these cards within the first rounds, there’s no way you can stop them, and you almost instantly lose the game..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Fun but UnfairI have been playing this game for awhile and have built a deck which has good potential; the furthest I have gotten is silver 2 and I have found this game to be very fun. However, when I try to progress further I have been stopped in my tracks by players with high level characters. As much as I love this game it has a big downfall where it is obviously pay to win and makes it very difficult for players who want to play for free. I highly recommend trying this game out yourself but I warn you that if you intend to be free to play you will be met with much frustration..Version: 1.10.4
✓ Fun but monetization feels unfairWhile the game itself is fun the campaign feels overtuned: fighting the AI feels more like waiting for it to ignore a move and leave an opening rather than an actual challenge. At the 4th level of each campaign the AI gets a legendary and a deck with a win condition that’s optimized, while you have to hope your cards are drawn in the necessary order and the redraw feature tends to feel mostly useless or detrimental. The Battle(PVP) aspect is the core part of it but it’s either really imbalanced or never meant to be truly “competitive” due to the complete randomness of “skill matching”. I’ve fought against a player that was both inexperienced and lacked cards and won easily and the next game found myself against someone with an entire Dragon Deck including a Legendary Dragon. In that sense it feels immensely pay to win. I truly enjoy the game but some aspects feel incredibly unbalanced when compared to a game like Clash Royale, which I dislike immensely. I’ll keep playing the game but won’t likely spend a cent on it until it feels fair to do so..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Just money makerAfter spending almost 1 year playing this game (which was amazing) they just decide to patch the game and nerf a lot of cards and make others completely strong. This is mean a lot of money spent in this year building up my deck for nothing! Now is useless because the game completely change with this new patch! Doing this they just push people to spend more money again (expensive stuff) or like me just decide to leave this comment to let everyone know what actually this game is and delete it forever... Goodbye!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good Concept… Very Disappointing ExecutionStormbound is an amazing card game idea with beautiful designs, but is unfortunately plagued with an incredibly blatant pay-to-win mechanic. I got the opportunity to play Stormbound very early on in its life about 4-5 years ago and found it exactly what I was looking for at the time. The game’s overall immaculate design and well thought through UI in a Turn Based strategy simulator was the perfect presentation to spend HOURS upon HOURS playing with. Everything from early-game mechanics to the community itself is very open to beginners. Unfortunately, the upfront and easy to learn mechanics is just a false sense of security as when you progress through the game’s more pay-to-win mechanics tend to show. As you realize your once favorite decks and play styles die out to other competitors who have PAID to get their hands on unbalanced legendary or epic cards which have the capacity to completely change the tide of a game that could have ended far differently without them. It becomes very obvious that the developers gave very over powered cards to the Swarm and Shadowfen factions as they are the primarily used decks throughout the game. If the developers just balanced the game in comparison to other factions than this game would EASILY become 5/5 stars, but unfortunately it remains at 3 stars solely for its very interesting game design and gorgeous art style..Version: 1.10.22
✓ Great but badThe game is really fun and enjoyable and I’ve played it a lot but there are a lot of things that need to be fixed: Every now and then when you shuffle out a card you won’t get one back and you will be stuck with three cards for the rest of the game Tegor the Vengeful is one of my favourite cards but it’s also the glitchist card in the game it’s caused animation glitches or it will just be stuck on the board My final statement is I love this game and it’s really fun but I feel like it would be much better if they added in a side mode for fun I.e. double mana, choose your own cards, multideck just as a side game mode differant to the normal competitive P.s updates more consistently would also be nice..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Hope you like playing 5 games a monthThis game is such a cash grab. You can upgrade cards, but getting the third level upgrade for a single card has taken me 5 months of ranked rewards. I get hardly any ranked rewards because past Iron, the first level of ranked, the game is no longer skill based - it’s based on how upgraded your cards are. There is no limit to the number of high level cards or even legendary cards you can put in your deck, but you do not even start out with one legendary. In fact, after 5 months of spending all of my rewards on chests I still do not have a legendary. You could have the exact same deck as someone, draw and play the exact same cards as them and they will win 100% of the time as their cards are so much stronger. The game has so much skill potential but it is ruined by your need to spend exorbitant amounts of money to be competitive at higher levels, and even then the lower ranked games are boring because they cannot match your power. In conclusion I would say don’t bother getting this game if you are looking for something to play more than once a month when ranks reset..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Good Idea, Horrible executionStormbound was a great idea. Combining cards, cool graphics, and strategy makes a great game however the gameplay is awful and there is very little variety. The only 2 game modes are Ranked and Brawl. Winning a ranked match only gives you one star so a win isn’t satisfying and offers no real reward. Losing a match is also frustrating because matches take very long and to earn back multiple stars is a hassle. Brawl is interesting and offers a twist to regular game mode, and it gives you real rewards. However, after winning 2 games you have to spend coins which you can only receive through the daily bounties and winning ranked games, and they give very few coins. Earning cards is also insanely difficult. The only way to earn cards is to get them through rare booklets from ranking up or buying them in the store. Since card level affects the game more then strategy and deck-building skills the game is a pay-to-win. You constantly go against people that are higher level than you and that have higher level cards. Others that pay real money also have rarer cards that are stronger and destroy you. This game is also very slow, the mana increases very slowly and you have to wait for your opponent to make a move which could take up to 30 seconds every time. This game is just frustrating, overrated and honestly isn’t worth downloading..Version: 1.8.1
✓ PTW treadmill game.Don’t waist your time, it’s been out for awhile now, people that have been playing longer all have lvl 2 troops or above, there’s also ptw players in the bottom ranks (3 or more legendary cards usually) League resets at the end of the month and the rewards you get are minuscule. You don’t level up based of of games played it’s based of of how many cards you have collected. You’ll get a bunch of cards at the start and a bunch more from doing the tutorial/pve parts and then it’s just grind. Treadmill game, Another thing, stop putting people with different amounts of base health against each other. When someone has 13 base heath against your 11, they have managed that by having cards at higher levels than your own. The game isn’t balanced if you or the opponent can play something two or three levels above the other persons cards..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Pay to win, if that’s your thingRelatively easy to get through the first few ranks but after that you mostly can’t win against other people who have higher ranked cards once you reach Bronze or higher. Strategy and trying new decks or card combinations only takes you so far if you don’t have access to the same card as someone else with higher stats or the ridiculous Dragon cards. I don’t mind slowly grinding as FTP but fights also take a long time (about 20 turns on average) before the person who clearly forked out some cash gets the clear upper hand. No thanks..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Pay to win to the extremeThis is what the stormbound experience looks like: you start playing the game, you collect cards, make your deck, play against other players, typical stuff. But then you hit a wall: it doesn’t matter how good your strategy is, it doesn’t matter how well constructed your deck is, inevitably you’ll play against someone who’ll use the exact same card as you except theirs has 7 power and yours has 5. It’s typical to have entry barriers in any card game, at first you won’t have all the rare cards to build a full deck and it takes a bit before you have a full functioning deck. But here it’s an incredibly larger gap: Cards can be leveled up five times, each time increasing the stats and effectiveness of abilities. To max out a card at common rarity, you need a whole 49 copies. 40 copies for a rare, 29 for an epic, 20 for a legendary. Compare that to your typical ccg, where you need 3-4 copies of a card, and you’re looking at an egregious amount of grinding (or opening up that wallet) to reach a point where you’re no longer capped based on your collection and not your skill. But don’t worry, you can watch an add to get 1 random card :).Version: 1.10.57
✓ Interesting but unfairThe game itself is beautiful looking and is good fun but it is incredibly unbalanced in terms of epic and legendary cards which are extremely slow to obtain. This could be fixed by increasing the number of gems that can be earned on ranks or special quests or adding a daily rewards feature but at the moment for new players who don’t spend money it’s almost impossible to move up the ranks to earn gems to create better decks, probably deterring many potential players to add to the community. UPDATE: there also appears to be a large number of people using campaign-only/hacked cards which suggests cheating to get cheap but powerful cards, ruining the game for legitimate players.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Connection issues on my phoneI used to play this heaps as it’s a really enjoyable premium game but as time went on the common occurrence of connection issues ceasing my ability to play turned my away am playing on a mates phone and still enjoying it but still the issue prevails on my phone.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Games fun but so unbalanced and unfair when u start to climb ranksGames fun but as u progress through the ranks u get paired against enemies that are way above your power lvl and just makes for unfair games which leads to loss after loss. No way to progress and upgrade your own decks bc u can’t go through the ranks, making this game ultimately boring bc there is no progression. Needs better matchmaking and balancing of cards bc some are blatantly op and win the games themselves.Version: 1.10.45
✓ Good game butHaving played this game for a long time, I’m continually disappointed in the designers lack of transparency when they tweak cards and rebalance them. You’ll show up one day after having used a card and upgraded it to it being less powerful. It’s diminishes the value of gameplay and loyalty to the game. Tell your players what youre doing before you pull the rug out from under them..Version: 1.10.17
✓ Pattern of unfair changesI’ve been enjoying this game since mid last year and it’s been very addictive and rewarding in how you can create decks of multiple kinds of play with nice character design and interesting game mechanics, however in recent updates it has become clear that the developers don’t want to reward longevity of play and seem to be forcing players into spending real money to keep the game playable. In the most recent update not only were so many cards that cost hundreds of grinding hours and real money to upgrade to maximum level weakened but they were now made detrimental to play atall and to mitigate this loss everyone got a paltry gesture of a few fusion stones when some upgrades cost hundreds of them. I advise reversing these changes and simply making new cards and new interesting abilities and letting the players adapt and evolve rather than punish avid players. Very disappointed to have been cured of any desire to play this game..Version: 1.1.3
✓ Don’t playCards are not balanced , it’s pay to win . Definitely not recommend, I played for while and then you rank up and realise it’s pay to win , and I’m telling you the card is on a balanced epic cards or any other cards you use it’s just so not balanced at all with the cards even if you like them you’re not gonna go any further with them I run and swim cards as most played cards it’s Pay to win.Version: 1.10.31
✓ Enlarge fonts! Enable on Mac!Or enlarge my device, I suppose. I would have given four stars but this is three. The graphics and fonts are designed for tablets and screens the size of the developers' desktop. I sometimes have to turn my eyes away in order not to disturb them. I usually play this game before I sleep, in pitch black darkness. The phone has an anti-glare system, but it is not enough to save me from some of the microscopic detail of the game. Either simplify the graphics and enable them to be a little bit more chunky, with less fine lines and more bold shapes, as well as improve the fault so that it could fit itself according to the size of the screen the game is being played on, or enabled this dam thing on the full-size computer so that we could enjoy it without pain. As for that "I can't win because it's pay-to-play", I have never gone as high in rank as to enable me to whine. Also, if you have played a game that long, throw in a single pound or two, you won't die. Buy a £10 iTunes supermarket and get it into your device. It is shameless to keep using people's things for free. That being said, I am not going to buy any cards until I hit level 25. Make that 20. I'm almost sure I can walk through this thing without using any big and flashy cards. On the contrary, it's the small soldier that wins the big fight..Version: 1.1.3
✓ HelpBought a daily and I never seen my pack where it is still need help.Version: 1.10.2
✓ Very fun game, but...This is a very fun game, quite a bit of variety, very interesting and fun. You can build your own deck with your choice units and the cards usually have abilities that can turn the tide of the battle. However, this game is not balanced. I do realize that at least 1/3 of this game is about luck, luck of what cards you get and luck of the draw while fighting but most games don't make you worry about luck of the player pool. "What do I mean" you may ask. What I mean is this: picture the game as a large pool with all the players swimming in it. Low level players at the shallow end and high level players in the deep end. Most games, you stay in the pool and stick to your area, slowly working up and progressing to differently skilled players. This game however rips you out of the water, carries you a mile up then throws you back into the pool, not caring where you land. What I am trying to say is, I am a beginner, and I can not personally say I have had much luck with cards. I keep running into high level people with 12 health bases compared to my 10 health base(yes, that is quite a difference) with at least a potion of strength that, compared to my add 5 strength adds 8. So, in conclusion, it is a very fun game but improperly balanced. I do recommend you get it because it is free and if anything, play with your friends, just stay with it until the problem is fixed, it is a really fun game which I believe is worth the wait..Version: 1.1.0
✓ GreatThis is a very appealing game it contains great art, cool card mechanics, a reason to play and a way to make ur real life money relevant (many pay to win expensive options) My experience was really great with this game since playing it since day 1 and it has kept me being a loyal fan however, my only major concern is how small the great story was and how due to this their is only a pvp option made viable. Please make a longer campaign..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Kinda funIt’s a fun game but it seems like a poor imitation of Clash Royale..Version: 1.10.40
✓ Good game but Cards keeps vanishingWas happy to see when I got 2 purple card of the same type only to go into the game later to find it missing 😫 Support seems not to care, not sure how to prove it. All that said the game is still quite fun to play..Version: 1.8.6
✓ Almost amazingGreat game, annoying that its so reliant on the internet, would be great if it had more campaign missions.Version: 1.0.3
✓ ErrorI try to watch the ad to get the reward but it only gives me the reward (entry card for draft) if i watch 2 ads..Version: 1.10.20
✓ Fun to play, when it worksI’m having the same issue as other people who are writing reviews in that when I play the campaign it just always gets stuck and it does seem happen right in the moments when I’m about to win.. will upgrade to a 5 star if this is fixed soon otherwise will stop playing entirely.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Brawl Mode is Completely Unbalanced,Pay to Win Game (Hopefully will change though)This game would be pretty good if they added some sort of balance to the brawl mode (the mode that gives you the most rewards) and made it where people can actually fight others on their level as opposed to fighting someone with cards 2x better than themselves almost every time. The only other thing that happens is when someone has lower level cards than you and you just trample them. Its not even fun. After a year of playing this game I have only played about 5 matches where it really came down to skill in this mode, not just who payed the most money on the game to get the best cards. This game used to be good and more about strategy and just having fun, but one can easily tell that they are making this game more and more pay to win as time goes on. All in all, it could be a fun game if the developers focused more on balanced matches than just trying to milk as much money out of the game with the least amount of effort. -Hope this helps, PHILLIAMWILLAS.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Awesome start but needs workThis game is so much fun but it seems to have a lot of connectivity glitches leading to you losing rounds or prizes. The Campaign mode is fun too but once beaten there is not much else to do..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Unbalanced and P2PThis game seems like easy and challenging content but this is where they trick you. I have played the game for almost 2 months but that is it. They have you play against computers to build up a feel for the game but once you play against people it is a whole other ballgame. The strategies implemented by players are always the same. Over the course of a month, a player favorite is “dragon matriarch” followed by “dangerous suitors” a spawn spam combined with strength growth, respectively. This is implemented early game and can not be stopped easily making your life that much more miserable when you try desperately to recover only to have them spam the tactic again and win easily. Another is P2P. Where you have either played the game for months on end to achieve or spent hundreds of dollars on. Cards have a leveling system making them that much better but to achieve these level ups you need duplicate cards that you get from pulls. Here is where P2P comes into play since common cards are well... common to obtain it is easy to lvl them up and have over powered cards over players who do not make such purchases. In short this game is nothing but rubbish for claiming strategy when the only strategies are either spam dragons or spend cash. If you have read this far congrats now never look at this game again..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Making the game pay to winBefore it was possible to pay for better cards with money or play the game until you gathered the coins for them. Recently a change was made to make getting certain powerful cards virtually impossible without spending money. Players who pay will likely have an unfair advantage even at the highest card levels due to this.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Balancing issuesThe game is enjoyable with a unique spin on typical collectible card games, but it falls short on one important front: balancing. There are plenty of cards in this game that are so blatantly overpowered compared to others that I’m shocked they didn’t realize it during play testing. The only logical explanation is that the devs made the cards overpowered intentionally, which ridiculous. The biggest offender of this is a card called curse of strings. It allows you to take control of an enemy creature with 12 or less power at level 3 for 7 mana. Getting a creature with 12 power for 7 mana is quite strong for level 3, but you also STEAL 12 power from your opponent AND gain board position. If curse of strings power was halved (6 instead of 12) it would still be quite powerful. I cannot believe cards like this are in the game that offer no counter play and lose you the game on the spot. The game deserves a solid 4 star rating if it were not for this issue. I hope cards like this get rebalanced in the near future or I’ll be forced to stop playing as the game is not fun when you lose to the same Broken card over and over..Version: 1.8.14
✓ Brilliant!What an extraordinary, addictive, well balanced game. The only negative side are the new cards that are being created since the last year. Too complex, too random effects. The strategic side is less and less possible now compared to what is was. Another negative change, in my opinion, was the limitation on the level of the cards that can be used, depending of game level you are playing. Now everybody are equal, it changes nothing to buy card upgrades. All the gameplay I have done to upgrade my cards to level 5 are now useless..Version: 1.10.36
✓ Great game turned pay to win.This used to be one of my favourite games, it is so well made, but after not playing for about a year, I came back to lose battle after battle because the power level isn’t matched properly (12 vs 18, 19, 20 in every single battle) and pretty much every player uses exclusively elder cards, which are so impossibly overpowered that playing just isn’t fun anymore. So disappointed that this amazing game lost its appeal over pay to win..Version: 1.9.1
✓ The latest update…I’ve been playing the game a few years. It’s decently fun. But it’s hard to support with actual money. The costs are ridiculous for what’s basically gambling for a digital card. I was considering getting the monthly premium rewards, but this update changed how those rewards are redeemed. It was once a day, but now it’s 24 hours to get the next reward. To optimize you’d have to grab your reward at the exact same time everyday. Even once a day is not great, especially if you’re paying money. It’s kinda crappy that if you miss a day, you lose that reward instead of you know, just getting it since you paid for if. This game IS good, but doesn’t have any good ways to spend actual money on it. So the only way I support the developer is by watching 2-3 ads a day. If they weren’t just whale hunting, maybe more people would be willing to pay..Version: 1.10.26
✓ Recharge and luck baseThe game is recharge and luck base, since after you finish all the story mode missions and go do ranking, you will find it nearly impossible to win. This is because most of the opponents will have legendary cards, maybe 3-5 cards already, if not more, and if you don’t have any legendary cards you will lose. This is because the luck and recharge base system is over taking way to badly.Version: 1.10.23
✓ An okay time wasterFor the most part it’s a fun game if you have some time to kill. Frustrating when the opponent clearly has paid for cards but a game which you can still win at. Lucky their is no option for actual talking back and fourth to one and another - the swearing would be out of control, mostly from me..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Unfair every timeAt the start I thought this game was good, and was hoping it would stay that way. This game is so frustrating and ridiculously unfair. Every game I was about to win then the other player plays just 2 cards and i lose, just like that. The worst thing is, you do everything in your power to win and they just breeze through the battle as if you’re just a peasant fighting an army. This game is only possible to play for the first 10 mins then after that you’re set for failure. Overall, good if you’ve got some money to throw down the drain on repairs..Version: 1.0.6
✓ Cool game ruined by PAY TO WINLet me start by saying that the concept of this game is really cool! This deck builder style game with strategic chess like elements which requires both smart plays and patience to succeed, is however held back by its blatant pay to win mechanics. You start out with very few variations in cards after completing each deck campaign, encouraging you to purchase packs simply to have an adequate starting deck. Ok that's not new. The problem is that you can also upgrade each card to be stronger, requiring multiples of the same cards. Victories earn very few coins, cards and upgrades cost a lot, and the whole thing falls down to a "you can grind a bit each day for 5 days or just pay some money for the same thing". It's shameless but nothing new in the mobile game industry. Frustrating is matchmaking where you are often pitted against players whose cards are upgraded much further than yours so playing the same cards gets you beat every time. It takes a lot of the strategy out of the game and replaces it with the necessity to prepare before matches, often through buying upgrades and card packs. It's a real shame because this game could be so much better if sucking your money out of you wasn't such a high priority. That is unfortunately a backbone of the industry that gaming has become and this game has no issue embodying it at all. If you want a fun card based combat game to play a few rounds each day, this isn't really your game..Version: 1.8.9
✓ Needs more constant updatesThis game was really fun! The first time i played i enjoyed my time it was real fun but after a few days it got a bit boring. Maybe if you add alliances and make chatting features it would make it more interesting and fun for everyone. Make new battle modes and new cards.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Will not loadAfter uninstalling and installing, resetting network and phone, the app still will not load..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Gotta continue giving 3 starsCan’t edit my last one for some reason rip. Anyways, matchmaking almost a year later is the same. I’m glad brawl is different now and that the team is working to try and fix things and make the game better, but brawl is still impossible for newer players. Getting matched against someone 3 leagues above you almost every match is very annoying (level 4 cards against level 2 cards isn’t very fair so all you’re doing is hoping to get matched fairly to get at least 2 crowns from a draw or a fair fight in general). Really love the game, but still, almost a year (my last reply was on June 11th if I remember correctly of 2021) and the matchmaking issue still isn’t fixed or balanced out yet. Last one I’m going to mention here is that paying to win spans until the latest league, where cards are maxed out anyways. It boosts players in the earlier games which isn't fun to go against, but I will say that it is nice to know that F2P players will catch up eventually….Version: 1.10.19
✓ Changed to make things equal- less than idealI have been playing Stormbound since it was released 5 years ago- off and on. I recently logged on and saw my card in gold level are maxed to lvl 3, when I have a few cards (and most of my deck) at 4-5. I’m sad I can’t take advantage of how hard I worked to get them to those 4-5 levels- and don’t like how equal it is now with set levels of the cards. My deck doesn’t operate the same way at lvl 3, and the card I built it around needs to be at lvl 5. Back when it wasn’t a set level for each round the more advanced players would just blast past you each season and honestly I enjoyed seeing them play, and how they played- I learned more, I also feel this new change removes the push to level up cards. Why should I level up to 4 or 5 if I’ll be stuck at gold? Please change it back, it was more fun and more wild in the previous seasons when we could use the cards we worked/grinded for..Version: 1.10.25
✓ Better ranked system needed....Stormbound is a good game which I have been playing on and if for a few years now. However, whenever I start playing after a few seasons it is a really big grind to get back to my normal rank. I smash anyone I go up against and it really isn’t fun. A “promotion” system like in league of legends would be great here. Otherwise, a great game!.Version: 1.8.3
✓ It could be awesome but...Its such a good concept. The countless cards and addicting game play make this one of the best strategy games I've played... Until I started meeting players with completly unfair cards. One card allows the player to use their remaining mana to buff the character they just played, 2 buff for each mana. A cool concept but the problem is this card only cost five mana. So near the end of the game when each player gets 20 mana the enemy was able to place that card for 5 mana, and the 15 remaining mana give him a 30 buff???? 30 level card that stormed through my defence with no problem, despite putting all my mana into defeating it... Definetly wasn't a fun match at all for me. Building cards feel way too op too including the card that deals 2 damage to my base each turn. All my opoenent had to do was sit back and protect his building, laughing as he won the game in 5 turns while I couldn't do anything about it...????? And I couldn't use execute on it either which only does 3 damage and the building is 4.....Version: 1.4.0
✓ Blatant Cash GrabStormbound is a game with interesting mechanics, a unique art style, and a lot of replay value. I say this because this one star review is with good reason. The game is designed to give players who pay money a larger advantage then those who do not. The most recent update has exacerbated the problem and made it unfair for those who do not have the money to spend on it. First they upped the number of cards it takes to upgrade things, incentivizing the purchasing of packs, which for the most part require rubies (this games micro-purchase currency). Then they took the price to upgrade cards from a scaled system, costing more gold to upgrade as the rarity of the card increased, to an equal system. In doing this they raised the price to upgrade cards to the max level (level 5) for commons and rares. This further incentivizes the purchase of packs with guaranteed epics or higher as they take less cards and an equal amount of money to upgrade. The game is slowly but surely adding or changing mechanics to reward pay-to-win players. Update as of 1/7/23: I’ve been playing since nearly the beginning and I cannot keep up with the meta even while constantly playing. New cards come out weekly, it’s balanced monthly. Which in theory is good, in practice it has compounded the earlier problems. To be the best at this game, especially starting out brand new, you need to spend money on it. This is no longer just a pick up and play game..Version: 1.10.36
✓ Love hateI have a love hate relationship with this game. I absolutely love the visuals and game mechanics that lead to very deep strategic thinking. I hate that this game does not reward a player based on their skill. There is no incentive for a player to advance in rank. There is more incentive for a player to remain at lower ranks to farm gold off easy wins. Although there are one time rewards for achieving a certain rank, those rewards are often not worth the trouble of being forced to play against much higher levels players. The long reset times for rankings (1 month) exacerbates this. This game does not incentivise you for beating the odds! I hope things change..Version: 1.2.4
✓ Fun but UnfairIt’s a fun concept and very well executed, the balance between the three factions is surprisingly accurate. It’s just a shame to see the prices of cards at the shop being continually increased which puts newer players at a disadvantage when you consider older players have beefed out decks probably made when you could upgrade cards with one fusion stone or significantly less coins. It’s easy to pull out the pay to win card, but it is a free game so what do you expect. I personally never spend money on mobile games and was having a good time with it up until the recent patch where my progress was wiped because I forgot my Kongregate account; I was excited to start fresh but the changes put me off..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Losing or winning animationWhy is the “you lost” or “you won” take so god damn long? It’s so annoying.Version: 1.10.31
✓ Unique but unplayable in current stateThe idea of the game is fantastic, battles are quick and fun. However it is a card game with upgradeable cards and when you vs someone who has cards that are at least 2 levels higher than yours you find yourself in a horrible situation, and it happens more often then you might think. The game doesn’t have enough strategy for this kind of a mechanic, and quite honestly this situation has killed the game for me. I get the developers want to make money, but implementing a P2W strategy just wont do. Sadly I cannot recommend this game to anyone so long as this upgradeable cards mechanic remains a massive problem..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Ok gameThe game is good but the pay to win in bad some goods cards if you don’t pay you’ll never get what is strategy if you don’t even fight under a fair rule.Version: 1.10.5
✓ Lost money and account - zero supportDespite playing the games for several years and investing a significant amount of money, my account was suddenly lost or deleted without any explanation. I was devastated by the loss and frustrated that there was no way to retrieve it. Despite reaching out to the team's support, I received minimal communication and no assistance. Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing..Version: 1.10.40
✓ Fix the bugsLove this game But fix the bugs. I take all my cards of my deck and the app crashes.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Pay to winI love this game but hate it! Great concept, graphics and strategy. However once you completed the limited campaign it’s near impossible to get cards to level up. One win is 5 coins but to buy a pack of 3 cards is 100 coins. To level the first card you need 2 cards extra of the same and to level is 50 coins. Next level takes 5 cards. So takes ages to level up. So it becomes a proper grind. when you play other players they have op cards or rare cards so it’s impossible to win. It’s about a 4 win to 3 loss ratio. Can’t climb the rankings. So close to be a great game. And the shop is full of real money items..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Awesome game with potentialHi again, After your most recent update which is not shown in the version history, I’ve noticed the cards drawn aren’t consistent... I’ve seen people draw and play the same card on their next turn... isn’t that a bit unfair? Please shed some insight on how the cards are rotated in the deck during play. Thanks, Wai Hi, Enjoying the game so far, gameplay is simple but deep. The variety of cards are awesome and a lot of different ways to win. Some thoughts on improvement: Expand on the social aspect, Friends don’t do anything at the moment besides knowing they are online and fighting. Adding on to the social piece, a chat, friendly match, viewing friends profile, match spectate mode. Perhaps look at incorporating features from similar games like Clash Royale. A ladder or tank display, good to see how you’re doing compared to other players. Overall great game, a lot of potential, look forward to future updates..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great game, terrible featureThis is a terrific game, but the mandatory update gets it a lower score. No game should force a player to update in order to play..Version: 1.10.40
✓ Pay to WinIt’s good and relatively skill based, but sometimes it is literally impossible to win when their cards are level 5 and your cards are level 2. Sometimes they also start with 2 more health which usually makes a difference. I know you need to make money somehow but please balance the game..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Ok but unbalanced and slowThe actual battle part of the game is really fun and involves some strategy. The problem is with the cards and how overpowered some of them are and how long it takes to actually get cards to level up or get those good ones. Cards like the ones that turn your cards into their cards have taken the strategy out. When I get my powerful card to their base they just use a card to transform it into theirs. No strategy and no defending it. I concede every time I go against those cards. Takes all the strategy and fun out of the game. Also it’s hard to get new cards since the store only renews once per day from watching an ad unless you want to pay real money so it takes forever to find the cards you want to upgrade them.Version: 1.10.59
✓ It’s fun at a priceStormbound is truly a fun game. Between the variety of cards and and strategies you not only of days of entertainment a head of you but are rewarded for putting cards together to get devastating effects. But the problem arises when you start encouraging players who paid for card pacts and fusion stones to upgrade cards. At the point you are not playing against an opponent who has worked as hard as you to refine their deck to its best, but instead you are playing someone who has bought cards that are far beyond the power of your typical cards. Playing against these people is a total up hill battle and even if you when you do not feel rewarded because you begin to understand the disadvantage you are at for not spending money. Now the game would be so bad if they offered more challenges to earn rubies (the currency used too buy the better card packs) but i have been playing for a year and have only managed to get 60 rubies putting me just short of the 75 needed to guarantee me an over powered legendary card (which I also do not have). In short you do not like spending money this might not be the game for you..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Decent gameA fun little card game. A little annoying that it rewards heavily those that spend money or who have simply played longer. But still quite addictive. Be carful. More campaign options with an actual story would be amazing! Please and thank you. Also can be very buggy, especially when it comes to playing ads for extra rewards..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Pay to win and Unbalanced destroys this gameThis is an absolute masterpiece of graphics and gameplay for mobile but it is one that only goes that is it the game is serious pay to win driven and the cards are incredibly unbalanced if someone has one or two legendaries which are over 10 usd for a pack with maybe one then they completely tule the match it’s a constant see saw of trying to get through ranked to get more cards and the quest only give you enoughto make you feel even worse about playing the greed of the developers destroy a game that could be so much better every match is a fight against your deck pulling cards that need 8 mana after filling your deck with 2 and 4 mana cards and constantly pull cards that have no movement while your opponent who paid for a few packs moves graciously across the battlefield with cards that grow every time they attack or get attacked with base start of 5 plus people and less than 5 mana to put down which makes it impossible to beat if you can only draw a card that has less than 3 people because your hand is filled with the 3 lvl 8 cards you put in it at the beginning of the match this game is trash and if you read this all do not download this do not waste your time money or effort unless you want a bunch of headache and to spend a lot of money getting past the pay wall.Version: 1.10.20
✓ Alters cards after releasing themI’ve played the game a lot and its usually really fun. And regular updates are a good thing. But regular updates that nerf key cards in decks and suddenly drop the deck from a gold level deck to a bronze are not. If you have to alter cards after releasing them then they weren’t balanced properly in the first place. I’ve dropped the game twice after updates like this and came back. But after the most recent update I’m fed up with it..Version: 1.10.17
✓ Counselor Ahmi broke the gameThe latest card update to Counselor Ahmi totally breaks the game. People just spam this card now and it takes no skill to win anymore. Too bad..Version: 1.9.7
✓ Diminishing ReturnsLook, I love this game's concept but once I realized its pay to win in a sense I lost interest in trying to perfect my decks. It's the classic "we won't make it impossible to upgrade your cards, but it's incredibly difficult unless you fork over $10" business model that took the fun out of this game for me. There are TONS of things that you can spend your money on in this game. And every single one will make you feel like you're missing out or falling behind if you don't buy into them. I get that the devs have to make money and that this model is the industry standard, but I'm tired of being violently force fed micro-transactions. I wish dev teams found a different way make money and in turn balance their games. Again I love this game and I think it's worth a try. But I can't enjoy the game for what it is when it feels like the only way to truly progress is to buy tons of micro-transactions..Version: 1.10.51
✓ Last update shat on the non paying playerbaseThe Ranked matches similar to the brawls now have limits on card levels. At first glance this sounds like it would make the matches more fair and balanced but this is absolutely not the case. Paying players will have more legendary cards and those cards will be at a higher level, while a non paying player will have few legendary cards at all. The non paying player therefore must grind away the non legendary cards till they’re maxed out and comparable with at least the mid level legendary cards to sort of match up with paying players. This is a much easier and more feasible way of getting a decent deck as a non paying player since legendary cards are so rare without real money. As the game is now with the latest update, if you are a non paying player you will be putting your deck of largely non legendary cards against a same level deck of all legendary cards at the highest available level that the paying player has. There’s literally no contest in who will win in this scenario. I’m a player who hasn’t paid a dime and have grinded my way to the diamond league over the course of the 4-5 years I’ve had the game. Regularly doing the daily missions and watching ads. This is literally the only mobile game I bother with anymore with how monetized and gross the mobile games industry has become. And as of today I feel stabbed in the gut and I’m considering just uninstalling the game. The update to brawls was a step in the wrong direction and this last update to ranked matches has outright ruined the game. Normal cards are not worth using against legendary cards unless they’re maxed out and now that isn’t possible. It’s full pay to win and lose if you don’t pay..Version: 1.10.12
✓ Broken cardsGreat game, some of the cards and mechanics are a little broken and really hard to deal with early on..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Fix your app Kid!I can’t play with my boys anymore😭.Version: 1.10.17
✓ Beware of making Purchases!Great game, was thoroughly enjoying it. However multiple in app glitches cause time critical defeats and missed rewards. Much more upsetting was an in-app purchase that was not honoured. When reported to support team, had one reply, then ghosted. Currently on my 4th email, requesting compensation and refund. Beware of making purchases in this game!!!.Version: 1.10.17
✓ Can’t lot inUsed to be able to login via Facebook login but now I can’t?.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Was great but no moreI’m a player of this game for many years. It was a 5-stars game, but no more for two main reason… There is no point of upgrading your cards since you can’t always use their full potential. The levels of the cards are limited depending on the league you’re playing in. What is the point of upgrading if you can’t use their potentiel. Most of the players now fight only for the win. So you will encounter cheap shot such as using the 2 or 3 square movers to get in the opponent castle quickly. It is so disappointing. Plus cards get changed often by the developer. And weird cards appeared with too much powers. So you get a game that was a 5-stars one but loose its shine..Version: 1.10.37
✓ Extremely unbalanced gameplayHas potential. Unfortunately is extremely unbalanced in PVP which is the only real mode of the game. Tried, was fun, then realised it’s pay to win due to the mechanics. DEVs: how to make it more balanced - limit the max AMOUNT of upgraded cards of each player to be equal. - max amount of legendary cards of each player to be equal. - need to fix the disparity on who starts first. It’s still a huge advantage for whoever goes first even if the other team gains a mana point. You could have a set 2 cards out of 4 that both teams start with? That way both players can actually play a decent card to start. Instead of nothing being played by one or both due to random shuffle. Try harder. Almost there..Version: 1.10.59
✓ Shake it upA great game by concepts and I love the mechanics of it. But I've come to a point where I'm playing the same games over and over again and always losing because I'm limited to level 4 cards vs level 5 cards that my opponents have. And they have the same decks! Execution, bladestorm, gifted recruits... Yes it's great there are new releases of cards and so on, but the game needs a shake up to stay engaging without getting a plato once you hit a certain level and everyone follows the same boring strats..Version: 1.10.48
✓ Fun at first...When you first start playing it’s real fun and new, but once you get your cards up to level three then it’s all downhill from there. you’ll suddenly be getting matched with people with all level five cards, the algorithm for what cards in your hand starts to become shady, to say the least,(almost as if the system purposely holds off on giving you the card that should be in rotation until the point where you don’t need it anymore, while at the same time, your opponent gets the same perfect cards every other turn, and vise versa)but really the worst thing is that the game can actually be fun. it also looks really nice. but there is just something off about it... and some will say “get good” but the thing is, you’ll be playing with the EXACT SAME DECK and be losing nonstop, but then start playing some hours later, and suddenly you are winning nonstop; it makes no sense. the rotation of cards NEEDS to be fixed, the matching algorithm needs to be fixed, certain overpowered cards need to be removed, and there needs to be less “divine luck” that plays into the game. not salty just wish this game did a better job and let the skill of the player play a larger role in the outcome of the game. 5/10 give it a shot if you’re bored, but don’t say i didn’t warn ya.Version: 1.9.4
✓ Really good concept...All of the mechanics in the game are really well done and over all I love the base mechanics... But the fact that cards level up, along with your base’s health slowly increasing leads to fights that’s are just impossible to win simply because the other player has put more time or spent more money. Until you reach maximum level this will continue to happen at which point the game already feels stale. If you really like the game go ahead and download it, it’s lots of fun. But don’t ever think about spending money or you’ll just end up repeatedly dying to someone who’s spent more..Version: 1.10.11
✓ Keep freezingAlmost every 2 games I play it freezes up and I can take my turn, when I go to pick a card it stays stuck enlarged on the screen and stays that way until my turn is over ,witch is frustrating please fix it.Version: 1.10.14
✓ Great but poorly implementedThis would be great if it weren’t for the fact that it seems to require the internet to know what to do, and even a Arron WiFi connection doesn’t seem quick enough to be able to let either the enemy or myself make a move. This forces me to have to close and reopen the app if I wish to continue.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good game but needs balance changesThe game itself is really fun. I enjoy the variety of decks and the play styles each offer. Where this game falls apart though is the leveling. In the ranked mode, the games primary mode, no matter how well you play you’re pretty much screwed against higher level players. This is a massive issue because you basically become hard locked at certain ranks. I’m tower level 13 and stuck in platinum because I am consistently going against level 16-17 players with cards that have twice my strength at equal the cost to my cards. It becomes very frustrating as I find myself losing to people solely because the strength of their cards and not their skill level. The only real way to avoid this issue is to buy cards which is really disappointing and ruins the gameplay at later ranks. It would make a lot more sense if the ranked mode had set tower and card levels depending on the rank you’re in. Until they add something like this I wouldn’t recommend the game unless you’re willing to spend some cash..Version: 1.10.17
✓ Wow.Past a certain point, Winners are decided by card level. When the opponents cards are all level 2-3, and you’re barely scraping by with 1s and a couple level 2s, tactics are thrown out the window and it becomes attrition. Attrition that you’re doomed to lose, since your opponents cards are outright BETTER than yours. And getting your cards upgraded? Don’t make me laugh. The chances of you getting a card you’re trying to upgrade can be near nonexistant. I get it, grind the game and eventually you’ll get what you want. But the grind is SOOO SLOW. Wins award a pittance and the dailies are better, if you can do their narrow demands. I guess you could progress in this game... if you’re willing to throw away whatever value your life or it’s contributions may add up to, in favor of a mobile game with questionable balance. You do you. Also the chat button screenburns into your phone. Screw this game. Edit : This game Cheats. I was in a game, and after my first play, I never got a second turn. It was just opponent turn after opponent turn for no reason. Spend your time on literally anything else..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Not a fanWas fantastic until I started seeing some pay to win and skill being sidelined for time and upgrades. Cool art style though.Version: 1.1.3
✓ UpdatesNeed to be consistent in bringing in more cards and making it more accessible to get legendary rods. Furthermore, campaign needs to be updated ASAP as it’s getting boring playing the same mode over and over again. And it shouldn’t take a month to get rewards as it’s too long compared to games like asphalt 9 (1 week).Version: 1.3.5
✓ Lack of AI & Requires Connection at all Times, Spamming RewardsIt’s a really enjoyable game except for the requirement to have an internet connection at all times. It’s also littered with reward spam which is quite over the top. I’d love for a single player game mode to be added.Version: 1.8.1
