If you like deck building games, this one is pretty good. The nice thing is that you can build decent decks, albeit slowly, for free just through daily rewards and tournament play. But if you want, you can also invest in buying cards, chests, and boosters to flesh out your options.
Game play is simple, but there are some nuances. To learn the symbols on the cards and the effect on the game you have to go to the SolForge web site. the tutorial will not teach you all of them.
To play you have to be on line. There is no stand alone play as near as I can tell. And the game makes server calls for everything. This means the game will eat through your battery very quickly, so stay plugged in when you can. The game will drop your connection and you will get bounced out of the store, the games, etc.
There are issues with performance I hope they fix soon. It can take as long as 30 seconds or more for content to load. Youll see loading spinners and empty card slots as you wait for data to download the from their servers. Sometimes I cannot even log in to my account. The game also randomly crashes all over the place, which is very annoying, although it seems that state is saved server side so you wont loose cards youve acquired or cahnges to decks, game status, etc.
