Truly a really fun game. Easily one of my favorite party games. But there are.. some things really holding this game back from becoming an easy go to. Actually there's really one real issue... The online playerbase.... You see, due to the limited amount of players, matchmaking can be rough. Not just in wait times but skill gaps. You'll likely find the majority of your matches to be up against very experienced players who are committed to the game. Making it nearly impossible for new players to stay for long as it gets demeaning from loss after loss. This makes it very difficult for this game to grow its community without a balanced experience for casual players, who will likely find themselves only playing in private matches. Thats by far the biggest issue. But I do have a few other nit picks. 1. Why can't you see other players in your party/hubworld? It's a game about playing with your friends, having this as a feature should be a given. It really takes away the life of the game with such a small thing. There's even a waving feature. Who are you going to be waving at, the bots?? 2. Hub music. I know there's a jukebox to change the song but whats the point if its limited to the one room. The parking lot never changes its tune and it can really get annoying after a while. 3. Cosmetics.. they're really grindy. Normally I wouldn't complain in a game like this as it has a great gameplay loop, but completing any quests are a complete chore if you don't have a personal lobby with friends. Meaning you need to play in the online lobbys (you already know how that'll go) putting you in a painful uphill battle using non optimal decks because of quest requirements. Only to get a completely random cosmetic. It kills the drive fast. And this is coming from someone who has already bought all of the dlc 4. PEASEEE add a map workshop.. this alone would carry the game. The maps are very limited and can get stale very quickly. 5. This is actually a very niche issue that has to do with the controls. The game only takes inputs from controller or keyboard at a time. Not both at once. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, unless you're on something like. Perhaps. A steamdeck. Typically I would be content with the standard setup on controller but due to the amount of sweat in the online lobbies im required to customize my controls for even a chance at winning. And any time I do accidentally use both at once, it flings my camera into the stratosphere leaving me to readjust mid match. I truly do love this game and really want to play it more on my own time without needing a whole planned get together. But this makes it so much harder to have fun without one.
This game seems to have a lot of potential, but it's obvious why the player count is so low. It's because the balance is non-existent, and some cards are incredibly frustrating to fight against. Not only that, but there's plenty of instant win combinations of cards that have very little counter-play. The problem is exponentially worse when you're a new player, who will start an incredibly weak starter deck; a starter deck which cannot meaningfully answer any options players with significant play time have. You will just lose to better cards- not players, CARDS, and there's nothing you can do about it. Eventually, if you level up enough, and get good cards too, you can be the player doing the stomping, or you'll just have a fighting chance now. If you match with similarly leveled players, you'll have a very fun time, but this will rarely happen because the player count is so low, and whatever players are left, are either new players who bought it on sale, or sweats who have maxxed out cards. To nobody's surprise though, the game is incredibly fun with friends. That's why I'm leaving a positive review. The game is lovely. The gameplay is smooth, the art is pretty, and the music is always welcome. It's just a few poor development decisions combined with a low playerbase that harms the new player experience so significantly that they'll leave.
The game is pretty fun!! But the online is horrible. There's no skill/level based matchmaking, so as a new player I got shoved into matches with people who only ever had maxed out cards. And any mode that's not 1v1, is "spam all your cards immediately" and its just obnoxious. There's no rules or limits or penalties for playing this way so almost every 2v2 and 3v3 match is the exact same. Thankfully even with the "newbie vs pro" issues with the cards, 1v1's are USUALLY still winnable off of skill or strategy. (Which is how the whole game should be, but, whatever.) And if you keep playing and getting better cards, 2v2s become more bearable. But you're usually still screwed and can die in seconds if you're paired against diehards. Overall its okay. The game itself is a bunch of fun and I really love the style, (the style is the main reason I keep playing), but the players just ruin it and abuse the mechanics. I GUESS I cant blame the devs for the player base, but I can blame them for not doing anything to prevent or fix the behavior. This is about as fun as a decently made Roblox game, and unless you're playing with friends, its only fun for a few hours. I wish there was an in-between option for reviews because this is definitely that. Get it on a sale, especially with the playerbase kinda dying off.
This is an extremely fast-paced game that I have had hundreds of hours of fun playing with my friends. It's incredibly fun, well-designed, the graphics are superb, and the card & character designs are really-well thought out. The cards are (mostly) balanced, as well as the characters, so there's not one weapon or card that's extremely OP or unbalanced compared to the others. You can play with anyone across the world, from East Asia to Europe, and Africa to the United States. You can also play with your console friends, as they now sell this game. HOWEVER, despite all the good things I've said, the game is extremely inactive right now, with less than a dozen people currently in-que online at any given time. This is mostly due to the fact that this game hasn't received an update (discounting crossplay to consoles) in nearly THREE YEARS. Unless you have a group of friends you can play with, good luck leveling up or actually progressing through the game. There's also a bunch of "seasoned veterans" who've been playing the game for hundreds to thousands of hours, so even if you DO go online, be prepared to get steamrolled. The game's progression system also needs work; Friends V.S Friends doesn't really give you any reason to prestige or continue playing except to get these ALT skins for the characters (most of them don't even look that cool and are just terrible overall) If you do want to play online though, the best places to look are the Europe and American servers during evenings and nights. If the devs would actually UPDATE this game, it would draw more people close to it. I can't even imagine the potential this game has if it would just be UPDATED.
