Although I dislike the artificial inflation of prices typical in collectible games, I must admit that some of them, notably MtG, is extremely well made. So, this game’s concept, collectible cards to be used for RTS style battles, piqued by interest ever I heard about the beta, but somehow I never got around to trying it, beta, demo, or otherwise.
Now, the game is free, which means it’s revenue will rely on micro-transactions (buying “cards”), almost similar to MtGO (except you really have to buy an online starter to start playing MtGO, unless that’s changed since the last time I played, which is admittedly quite a whiles [sic] ago). All restricted content from the demo is now accessible, you get 2 “decks”, but you’ll have to reach certain levels in PvE (4) or PvP (10) to trade/auction cards. Not bad for free content.
After installing, the game will download around 2.7gb worth of content. After that, then I’ll see for myself how the collectible card concept works in practice for RTS genre.
