Everyone wants to repeat Hearthstone’s success, but most new CCGs stick to fantasy setting, and the rest go for sci-fi. For people who can’t stomach either (or just prefer something more grounded in reality), KARDS will be a real treat.
[Issue#245, p.62]
KARDS is a great entry into the digital card game space that does just enough to make it worth trying for everyone, rather than just WWII buffs. While it doesn't revolutionize the genre, KARDS never really stumbles much either, and the amount of polish for a game that's only one base set and an expansion into its life cycle is remarkable. There's a lot of promise in KARDS that suggests it could get even better, too, so if it begins to feel a bit more daring in how it designs its card abilities, there's every chance this is the foundation of a real game-changer in the future.

This is the most fun I've had in a digital card game. I wish they'd print a physical version. If they started a kickstarter for a physical version, I'd back it.

Before I played KARDS - The WWII Card Game, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things haven't changed, but the game is pretty good.

If you like tactical card battles and are not opposed to the WWII setting, Kards delivers plentiful.
KARDS is a free to play WWII card battler that combines card battling with resource management. You'll need to think carefully about what cards you play and when if you want to succeed. There are some balance issues, but nothing that ruins the game entirely. Online matchmaking is the quickest I've ever seen.
The price point for entry feels quite reasonable. There is a one-time promotion for new players that provides ten packs for $4.95. From there, bundles of packs, a pre-order for an expansion, and an “Equipment” tab which offers cosmetics like card backs also become available. Compared to all the other online card games out there, this feels perfectly average in asking price, but growing a collection as a free-to-play player feels somewhat slow by comparison.
I have been playing this game since release now and can say that it is very addictive.
It is free to play and there is definitely no need to spend any money on it to enjoy it, so if you like collectible card games and WWII themed games then you will without a doubt like this one.

This game has surprisingly amazing graphics and sound design for a free game , as well as this , the deck building is fun and interesting . The gameplay itself is full of choices and feels extremely skill intensive . Despite this , the fact that some cards are so ridiculously overpowered compared to theirs is ridiculous and it can feel like the game starts in an unfair place .

Gameplay: From all the CCG games i played this one plays the best. Cards are quite hard to find but i think that with enough time you could do that. The absolute biggest problem that kills it without any doubt is the lack of players. You can wait 5 minutes in the queue only for the game to tell you "There is literally nobody here, you might as well play against AI". 3/7,5
Visuals: What can i say... looks super cool. 2,5/2,5
Story: no story needed, it's a CCG.

Kards is a CCG set in WW2. The atmosphere and card detail is very good. However, the game is plagued by constant power creep and pay-to-win mechanics.
You will have to shell out hundreds to compete in the top tiers of this game, as some cards are flat out better than others --- and very rare.
Do you have hundreds to shell out for rare and extremely powerful cards? A platinum credit line? Do you understand how to google the best decks in a CCG? Congratulations, you have what it takes to become one of the best KARDS players in the world!
You only get 1 gold every 3 wins -- and it you need 30 gold to get 1 special+ card, meaning you have to win 90 games just to get 1 chance at 1 good card.
And make sure to keep buying cards -- as each new expansion brings cards more powerful than those before it! You'll be on a credit card carousel!
The game has so much potential if only they'd stop being so very greedy.

1939's greediness is second to none. As a card game that has a pitifully small player base, Kards' pricing is ridiculously high. Maybe the only more expensive CCG alive is Komoney's Yugioh DL. And it does not even have rarity protection - you would get cards from packs that will be given to you through experience rewards anyway, you would get cards from packs that will be given to you in full from Theaters of War. This is totally absurd.
Considering that the artwork and music of this game are basically free to grab, 1939's game designers are pathetically incapable. The core mechanic is basically plagiarized from Hearthstone and yet the balance of the game is still a joke. Not sure where all the card pack money goes to but clearly not into this game.

Play as any of the major powers of WWII and participate in epic battles against other players, or as a single player against the cunning AI. Battles are won by cunning, tactics, experience and strategy.
