So I found this game on my bargain newsletter as the it's been given out for free on Steam until 6 April 2017.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/489520

I started playing it with no expectation whatsoever, but I found it to be charming. It has deck building, card crafting (similar to a typical card game) mixed with RTS, with a touch of tower defense and MOBA.

I'm still a complete newbie, Rank 5 Bronze. Anyone else here playing it?

Napalm is great if you enjoy hot and spicy foods. I personally enjoy some liquid nitrogen.

Well, it's in the budget in terms of dollars, but maybe not in hours. Worth claiming anyway I guess.

I'll take a look-see. It's the right price, certainly.

It looks like a reskinned clash royale. What sets it apart?

Isn't clash royale just an android game? There's no download or purchase link on the website.

It'll be F2P in the future, so this seems like a transparent marketing gimmick.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Yeah lots of complaints saying it's already pay to win - at £3.99 it's already going to be a P2W game, and this is just a cheap marketing gimmick.

I hate the business model of these kinda games utterly and completely, so hope it fails miserably.

With enough work and polish, it could have been a forgettable flash game on Kongregate.

That's kinda my point. It's literally a reskinned android game being presented as a full fat desktop game.

It's as much a reskinned Clash Royale as Hearthstone is a reskinned Magic the Gathering or Quake is a reskinned Doom.

I'd have tried them both to compare, but android-only stuff is stuff I can't try.
