Let me start by saying I was really thrilled to join the beta. But I got the notification on a holiday visiting my sister, so I haven't had the chance yet tot really get into the game. Obviously as soon asI get back, work will have to wait. Cardhunter first. That being said, I'll share my initial thoughts on my very, very short first session. -the start up process, creating an account and loading the game was unbelievably smooth. Nice job. -the look of the game is great. My sister remarked that it was "very cute". -I rushed through the opening texts, normally I wouldn't do that, but as I had only like five minutes I had to. This might be the reason the opening was a bit intimidating for me. Right away you get control over 3 guys, and face off against a group of bad gius. Now I really hate those games that start out with a tutorial that appears to be designed for someone who has never seen a computer before, but a slightly slower start might be nice. Start out with 1 adventurer, then after the first confrontation add 1 m, etc. -to counter the previous point: the controls were really intuitive and very straightforward. The controls barely need any tutorial at all. -since I kept up with the development journals I had some grasp as to the function of items, and the deck building proces. Now I don't know if this was explained in one of the messages I didn't read, but the first item you get seemed a bit out of the blue. -only played for a few minutes, but already can't wait to play again. And I hope to provide some better feedback.
Not sure if you even passed the first 2 battles, this is a "set-up" - game goes into more depth and starts you over with 1 char of your own after that. Also, use the first impression thread in the beta chat forum when you've had a more proper spin
My bad if I posted this in the wrong place. Only have a small amount of time before my girlfriend starts complaining that we're on vacation. And no I didn't play beyond the first two battles. Guess my feedback was a little premature. I'll definitely provide more feedback when I get the chance to properly play the game. Just wanted to provide any and all things I noticed. You never know what might be important.
All very valid, and I'm not even sure why the first impressions thread is in that sub-forum rather than this! That being said, just wanted to let you know your misgivings is actually an illusion - or a feint. Game used to go into the straight tutorial before they added the Greenfang bit as a "teaser" for new players before going into the proper game.
