Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft

A decade ago, no one would have thought that collectible card games would become popular with users. The mechanics were overwhelming, there were a lot of rules, and you had to at least buy a starter set. All of this put the player off. But in 2014, Blizzard Entertainment offered the player a new development called Hearthstone. This online game was able to breathe a second life into the genre, and since then there have been many projects.

Like any other project of this company, this one is based on the principle: easy to learn, but difficult to improve. The player has to collect his own pack of cards available and start a battle with the enemy.

In doing so, one must create a strategy and rely on the 9 classes available in the game. And each has its own unique set of creatures and spells, additional features and abilities.

Hearthstone has come a long way since its introduction, with optimization being the primary focus. Expansions now appear very quickly, and now the developer is experimenting boldly, remembering to listen to the audience.

The most successful add-ons evolve over time, while unpromising innovations are not considered further. And this approach gives a more in-depth approach to the gameplay already to the user. But on the other hand he needs to take his deck more seriously and train his skills in order to win.

Recently the manufacturer has been working separately on cards with random effects. They still appear in new expansions, but their influence is reduced. So there is more room for tactics and planning.

Game content

¬This is another aspect that the manufacturer has worked on extensively. Rewards have been reorganised or the list of available modes has become more extensive, making it possible to get new sets with maps much faster.  That is to say, in today’s realities, a newcomer has the opportunity to build themselves several competitive decks in a couple of weeks of play.

Special mention should be made of the competitive PvP mode, where cards are allowed exclusively or new additions, which gives the opportunity to keep the experience fresh for regular players.

At the same time, there is the opportunity to test yourself in the arena. The interest lies in the fact that the deck is formed from cards obtained at random. 

Those who prefer PvE content also have something to offer. For example, there are various campaigns with strong bosses, peculiar mechanics and so on.   And the list of missions gets longer as time goes on.

What’s worth waiting for?

The game is constantly evolving now, and there’s an understanding that it will continue to do so.  Regular updates or events within the game keep you from getting bored. With all this, the developer is in dialogue with the audience to understand what to emphasize. So this game will improve and attract the attention of more and more users.
