    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 in1939's greediness is second to none.

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.    … Expand

    Total piece of crap, developers are mediocre, support people are a-holes, basically copying and pasting Hearthstone and this game is still trash, unbelievable.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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 .

    Finally a good CCG that is not an over the top animation fantasy game. I am a big WWII fan and I think that the game really captures the genre, the frontline also provides a strategic element that makes the game more dynamic and fund. Overall, I think this is a well-designed game in terms of mechanics and I really like the artwork and illustrations in the game.

    Game itself is **** for a lot of reasons

    - Nations has no balance. there are couple of combinations with 99% win ratio on 4-5 turn - Pure dev team with really bad coding (this **** comes from EXAMPLE OF CARD game in unreal engine). they add some images about ww2 and some "new" mechanics which is totally broken due bad randomization. if u have about 10 orders in ur deck its almost 100%    Game itself is **** for a lot of reasons

    - if u play more than 2-3 hours a day after short a while u will loose any game cuz of RANDOMIZATION of starting cards. My record is 15 in a row
    - Matchmaking is not working properly.
    - Strongly pay 2 win strategy
    - huge amount of fake reviews of players with less than 2 hours on steam

    doesn't worth to play but there is no alternative on cards game for now    … Expand

    You can build a deck using your own initiative, test it out and just see what happens. The best part of the game is the presentation and artwork, which is truly excellent and authentic.

    The "Frontline" mechanic is a contested space between the players that introduces another layer of strategy. Very good!    … Expand

    This game is really fun, the art is great and the game plays well. There is a large collection of cards and a lot of variety. The game takes a little while to really get the hang of, but once you do and learn to play around the frontline and cost of operating units the game becomes the most enjoyable card game I have played.

    Love the vibe of the game, far from the fantasy style we usually see in the genre, the graphics and artworks bring a strong aesthetic. Also the concept of frontline adds a new level of strategy which is much appreciated!
    10/10!

    Very addictive and fun. Loving ww2 stuff is a bonus. Some benefits include easy to learn, but hars to master and provides beautifully drawn cards.

    Nice card game.
    Some weakness: I am sorry that its old times style makes cards blur.
    Short instructions.

    This is a card game with a very good card picture, and even better is the game's customer service staff. They try their best to solve the player's problems and meet the player's requirements. I think as a long-term update game, I will always encounter various All kinds of problems, but as long as there are patient customer service staff, these problems will eventually be solved

    Thomas paid me to endorse this game.

    Now jokes aside. It's a really, fun and addictive little Card Collecting Game and it's free! Why not try it on steam and see for yourself?!?

    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.

    If you like tactical card battles and are not opposed to the WWII setting, Kards delivers plentiful.
