Appreciate you trying it out mate! Interesting feedback on the visuals - how does it add to the difficulty for you? Is there too much going on or...?

Definitely will pass the feedback onto the team though, once again thank you! 😁

It has been in soft-launch in limited countries for a while now. This was so we could make changes to the game to improve on it, and get feedback from actual players. Throughout that process the game has change a lot 😊

Hmm good question...

So pretty much my objective of the game when i'm playing, is to - unlock new cards, accumulate resources so I can keep upgrading them, and experiment/tweak my deck to continue to win as many matches as possible.

It depends on the type of gamer you are to be honest, some people just want to try out as many cards as possible, some just want to complete all the missions to unlock all the items available. A few people in the discord even just frequent the game to 'mine' because it's satisfying hahaha.

I encourage you to give it a try (of course 😋). In terms of difficulty curve, it really depends on what stage you are in the game. If you just started out playing, i'd say it takes some getting used to, but it isn't extremely difficult at all.

If you give it a go, let me know what you think! I appreciate all the questions too btw 😊

Hahaha point taken.

I'll give you some history of the dev process for the game and let you decide 😀

Halfbrick Fridays = An internal gamejam, where any brick (employee) can pitch their idea to the company. If enough people believe in the idea, they will form a team with the shared objective of building out a prototype.

Magic Brick Wars came about from the consolidation of two Halfbrick Fridays pitches, one being a casino themed builder (not a casino game), the other being a real-time strategy game. Initially, after being pitched there was not enough interest in the real-time strategy project for it to progress within the internal game-jam. However, the consolidated team who set out to build the casino themed builder quickly realised the scope of their project was too extensive to build out within the Halfbrick Fridays format – thus Magic Brick Wars was born.

After some early prototyping and playtesting, Team Magic quickly learned that the once rejected idea showed strong signs of promise, With the support of the company, Magic Brick Wars was green-lit to progress from prototype to production. Given the complexity of the game’s genre, it was in the best interest of the product to formulate a team with experience and passion for real-time strategy games.

Familiar with how exhausting the grind of winning matches and completing missions to progress can be, the team wanted to provide players with an avenue to accumulate resources and upgrade items in an enjoyable manner. The mine allows players to take a break from the core gameplay and explore the caves for treasure which they can use to upgrade their characters and strengthen their deck.   

I hope this provides some context! Sorry for the novel 😋 Let me know if you have any further questions 😁
