About This Game This is a smart, honest and deep hardcore game. A true intellectual challenge. I just got tired of cartoon casual card battlers, pay-to-win games, random focused game mechanics, timers, energy bars, speed-ups and other free-to-play crap. Together with my friend, various CG artists and game enthusiasts from all over the world we’ve made a game free of this annoying stuff. Play how you want and as much as you want.It’s originalRips of MTG and Hearthstone made by studios with huge marketing budgets have filled the market. Piece of cake: popular franchise + successful mechanics + $ = $$$. We’ve made an original title. We realize that it's a huge risk. I’m sure the question: “Damn, what’s just happened?” - will be a pretty popular thought. Skillful in another game? Forget your experience. It's not a rip. Mechanics are original but very logical. Don’t hurry. Read, examine, experiment. Enjoy discovering the layers of the game. We have almost forgotten this feeling.It’s honest. No pay-to-winThere are no paid advantages in PvP. Don’t wait for compromises or casual stuff. PvP is extremely intense. One mistake may cost you the victory. You can win or lose in a minute. Everything depends on your strategy. It’s a true fight of intellects. After the first 20 battles you will respect that guy on the top with 3000+ wins. I don’t know how he’s made it. Especially with the cards he had.The AI is uniqueThere is a lot of PvE content in the game. Feeling so powerful after victory in Elven Fist mission? Try challenges, limited time events, side quests and daily quests. You always have a possibility to grow. The AI is brilliant. He does not know your cards, so no cheating. He used to be so good that we had to make him dumber because he ruined the server. Still don’t wait for favors from him. He’s not as creative as you but he knows how all the cards work. Wanna a core fight? Only 20% can finish the story.It’s finely balancedNo strongest race, strongest card or warlord. The balance is perfect. There are no imba decks. You can suddenly lose from a weak bot. Though I hate random there is a luck factor in the game. Why? Because it’s a great balancing tool. It gives a chance to win like in real life. But fortune favors the prepared. Choose from the 300+ card pool, 18 warlords (with 3 skills each) and get ready for any surprise.It’s really variableRace tactics are different. Warlords are different. Some of the cards are pretty complicated. Use them as a scalpel not as a hammer. Gonna play as an assassin? Don’t pick up the dwarves, they are heavy, slow and prefer fortification. Your choice is the elves. Like meaty heavy rush? Don’t pick up the undead. They are controllers, have powerful spells. But ghosts and skeletons do not have a lot of health and it’s logical. Your choice is the orcs. Or mix them with other cards. A deadly stab in the opponent’s back by an elven assassin is a good start for the orcish rush. Now it’s role playing through strategy. You are your army. To me, role playing is not about spreading experience points or choosing who to sleep with virtually. It is your own unique battle style. The game gives you enough content for that. You can play as a mage or a warrior, an assassin or a tank, a necromancer or a paladin and more. To improve social interaction we’re already working on a huge update with clans, a global map with POI and a non-linear campaign. We need your support, guys, to make the game live on Steam. So what is Clash of Cards about? It’s about how intelligence wins. How intelligence gives us a chance to win the hardest battles.Who asked for a hardcore and honest old-school collectible card game?Here it is. Sincerely,Daizor 7aa9394dea Title: Azorian KingsGenre: Indie, StrategyDeveloper:Azorian, kron0s_alexey, Pavel_BalakinPublisher:Elina Faritovna BalakinaRelease Date: 21 Jun, 2018 Azorian Kings Verification Download I want this game to be good, but it just isn't. It's very difficult to tell what cards do based on their description, the balance is really weird (where one "tribe" of cards will have absurd hard counters like "kill all dwarves every turn" when you start with dwarves). It is difficult, and there are no mtx, so it has that going for it. But the interface\/balance\/design really hold the game back.. Edit, changed the review from negative to positive for now, but will further finalize my score once I play a handfull of both PvE and PvPPlayed a lot of card games, so I'll definetly give this one a proper go, once a proper tutorial gets implemented, I honestly tried to understand the game, but I simply can not.There are simply waaay too many things that are un-answered, like how exactly armor works and what does it get blocked by? Or why my cards sometimes do not deal any damage? I lost 3 of some "blue coins" by hiring and re-hiring some "lord" card and srsly I didn't even know what I was doing, because the game didn't really explain anything to me. I also wanted to change my starter deck, but I have absolutely no idea whether you can do it. Great art +++PS. Really needs some sort of a combat log and damage indicators, that would help a lot.. Although rather buggy at the time of writing this, when you can actually get a game going, this is a whole load of fun. I'm not a big card game buff but I thoroughly enjoyed this and had many laughs with my friends playing it, I can see it being another big card game franchise if the underlying bugs are fixed.. Developer is active on forums and supports the game frequently and listens to feedback.Product is early access and bugs and some missing stuff is present as you'd expect.That aside, the game is playable and there are different things to do:* campaign* AI duels* PvP duels (gets AI substitute opponent in the case of no player found within a short period)Cards can be crafted or summoned with ingame gold, there is no microtransaction system at all.Game mechanics are rather new, with an attack for player 1, with summoning phases for both players, and then an attack for player 2, with summoning phases for both players. If you're defending speed stat of the cards matter whether they counter-attack or not versus the speed of the attacker. You fight in facing slots and there's no summoning sickness.You can only play 1 card per attack/defense phase.Hands are large, you draw 3 cards until your hand is full.Individual games are rather quick/short, but there's nice tactical decisions in deckbuilding and what you play.Forums have extra rules explained that are currently not in the tutorial (Wrath of Orr the most important at the moment).I rather like it, but it does need more work (again, it's early access so that's to be expected). Especially in terms of ease-of-use of the UI and it could use some more fluidity in playing the cards.If you start playing now, beware that you cannot change your faction, so I am stuck with elves now. Dev has responded to player feedback and has said he has thought of a way and will make it possible to play any faction you want.Card art is very nice.I recommend the game, but it's a careful recommendation: check out gameplay videos, read the forums and you'd better be a fan of the genre and you should be fine with a bit rough UI and some level of uncertainty about the final product.I was really on the fence about trying this because the price is currently €32 and slated to double after early access but then got the game for free. At the current price I'd only reccommend it for real fans of these kinds of games and if you keep the 2-hour refund time in mind just in case. I personally find it fun and interesting so far but I'm also prudent and will have to see how it is after early access and how it evolves.. Edit- Still fun but the same things are still in need of attention, unfortunately I can no longer recommend this game until they are fixed: Can't progress beyond the mission 'Unknown Order'. It never loads Solo time limit is anti-casual and a really bad idea imo, especially with card abilities being so common and card-art to enjoyUI is shaky and still has basic errors with confusing words/spellings e.g. barracsNo proper tips or guides for making a deck. Lots of cool cards but it's all a bit unorganisedA general but severe lack of explanation, clear mechanics and cohesionThe game is still cool and I was initially very intruiged but, since I can't progress and things haven't moved along yet, can't say it's anywhere near worth the money.. Before purchasing the game, I have looked into the game itself by youtube videos and some blogs on Reddit, this game has something that caught my eye from the very beginning, so I decided to buy this game. It was on sale so it was a double pleasure to purchase the game, when it was downloading I couldn't wait to play the game. When it finally downloaded, I have opened it and the soundtrack from the beginning made the conclusion that this game has a future. It is at the very beginning but it will expand if the developers will still upload new updates for its players, because as I can see from dev blog developments there are plenty of the updates, which are made mostly for the gamers. Nowadays most of the card games are just to make money and making rich the developers. This game is completely different compared to its competitors. This makes this game stand out for me and I think for most of the people that bought or willing to buy this game. Things that I can say about the game itself that it has wonderful graphics and soundtracks. Throughout the time I have played the game I haven't found any glitches or lags. Which simply says about the good optimization of the game.. That a great game guys, i was a bit lost for start, time to get to know the cards. But after all if you take a little time to play and learn on the way is a good game to spend time on. I definitly recommand this game to all people who like cards games. I m curious to see the chapter2 as i would like to keeping the adventure futher.enjoy.....

Which simply says about the good optimization of the game.. A very fun card game I reviewed on a site almost a year ago. It is a great game without any of the card game draw backs. I recommend this if you enjoy the genre but don't want to do loot boxes and stuff like that. Level 20 is cleared!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjscWNQ6oFIDespite an issue with visual effects VcTT (http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197967860356) killed the boss! Here is the video :)He played the demon deck.. A new gameplay video!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg6EUmTYHwkI have uploaded a short gameplay video. It shows the very beginning of the game :). Sketch for a new card (UPD: and the final version): It will be a cavalry orc. Work in progress.UPD: the card in the game:. Introducing the Clans: Vendors' Guild & Lovaudor: Lovaudor - a warlord of Vendors' Guild. "The castle gates will always open for gold-laden donkeys". Vendors can buy/sell materials and cards. Vendors' Guild - is an absolutely neutral clan. So the main character point for them - moral character point "Neutral". The second character point - "Balanced". And the tactic character point is a "Universal".. Steam Achievements work!: If you started the game earlier they would be given during your next game session.. Zoultash UPDATED: Woodcarver combo: I have tuned the second Zoultash skill to make him more playable. Now the Woodcarver build works perfectly :) I am working on two additional totem poles, so, when they come in the game Woodcarver combo will be very dangerous for an unprepared opponent.. UPCOMING a new card + rebalancing of the Damballa's witches: It looks even scarier than I expected :) I have not decided what the final stats of this cards should be. I want to separate the succubuses and Damballa's witches lines. This card will be rare. A player will be able to make it from Damballa's Claws. So the line will be: Possessed - Damballa's Claws - Damballa's Eyes - ??? - Damballa's Priestess. The succubus line will be: Tiny Witch - ??? - Red Witch - Succubus - ???.This card must be not too overpowered, make the witches more playable, and show the demonic nature of the Damballa's witches.Any ideas?. Introducing the Clans: Free Men of Tortuga: Captain Grace O'Walley - a warlord of Tortuga. The main bonus is a possibility to rob the other players. They are fast, they are aggressive and have no rules in the Clan. Don't wait for support - every man for himself. Mercenaries' League - is an evil clan. But the main character point for them - "Chaotic". The third one is - "Warrior".. Clash of Cards is available on Steam!: Hi everyone! The Early Access version of Clash of Cards will be available on Steam in two weeks!It is a smart, honest and deep hardcore collectible card game free of annoying free-2-play restrictions. NO pay-to-win NO timers NO "energy bars" A pure intellectual challenge.Best regards,Daizor
