   You unlock all cards with one-time-purchases, and then collect them ingame. Which alone is a HUGE advantage over all the other pay2becompetitive card games, and makes playing the game a LOT cheaper in the long run!
   
   Quality-wise, Faeria is bursting with content, that can be played alone, vs players and cooperatively, and keep you busy for a long time.
   The mechanics are deep and clever, and deep thinking and optimal play are highly rewarded.
   And finally, there still is an active online community, that you can play with and against.
   
   This is my favourite card game, and i recommend it whole-heartedly!… Expand

Highly strategic gameplay with nice graphics and music and a non-toxic community. Microtransactions are purely cosmetic.… Expand

   After playing this game extensively and enjoying it quite a bit, I ultimately decided to uninstall it.
   
   At first glance, Faeria is a beautiful card battling game that is "F2P" and doesn't require you to pay anything to access any of its features. However, the game does have microtransactions, and they are primarily of the "pay to save time" sort.
   
   GAMEPLAY
   Since the game is relatively new, there aren't that many cards out, so you will come across a ton of repeats. Because many of the cards have their own animations and effects, expansions take a while to release.
   
   The game doesn't only feature card battling; there is a small field control strategy mechanic as well which gives the player a bit more to do and differentiates it from other card games.
   
   The number one issue with the game is that it is a massive unrewarding grind where most of the cards you receive are pretty much garbage. The only things actually worth spending currency on are the expensive unlockables.
   
   Overall, the gameplay itself is fine and it's nice to spend some free time playing Faerie on the side.
   
   MULTIPLAYER
   There isn't really any multiplayer in the game besides battling against random people on the Internet. I haven't tried it out yet myself (I enjoy playing against the AI more), but I assume everyone who is battling probably has the best decks in the game already. (Which you won't get for a very long time.)
   
   Co-op does exist, but it's so, so minor that you can pretty much assume it doesn't exist.
   
   "PANDORA"
   There is a unique mode in this game called "Pandora" which is very enjoyable to play and is pretty much the only reason why I've managed to convince myself that the game isn't just a cash cow.
   
   Essentially, Pandora is a "roulette" card battling system. You're given random cards to form a deck and you play against "waves" of enemies who get progressively harder with each win. This tests your ability to figure out strategies on the spot using unfamiliar cards.
   
   Unfortunately, Pandora is also placed behind a paywall where you're only limited to one sample run each day (three wins at most) unless you pay currency for it. A full run is limited to nine wins, which also sucks since you can't keep playing after that. Meh.
   
   SUMMARY
   In summary, my score of 7/10 isn't because the game is bad per se, but because of all the paywalls that exist which force you to either spend dozens of hours grinding currency or spend significant amount of real money (easily the cost of an AAA game at release) to unlock extra features. If the developers made it easier to farm currency, I would give this game an 8 or maybe 9 instead.
   
   At its current state, it's pretty much an Early Access game. It's "finished," yes, but the lack of content doesn't warrant a recommendation. I highly suggest holding off for a year or so until the game has matured and the developers have made it easier to grind currency.… Expand

   Cons:
   -Loot crates
   -Crashes
   -Trashy freemium style microtransactions
   -Attempts to capitalize on cosmetic items too much, too soon (at least Hearthstone has done this over time, and in a restrained way)
   -Battle music almost non-existent, even when turned all the way up
   -Lack of battle sound effects
   -Recruitment system is not explained anywhere, and encourages players to post their in-game name on sites like this.
   
   At least when it crashes, it saves single player battles, not sure about multiplayer.… Expand
