I've never played Hearthstone or WoW. I'm downnloading Hearthstone now out of my game designer's curiosity. Can anyone tell me any games with similar or better gameplay that I can get for free on PC or iPhone? |
Magic Duels just came out which is the new digital platform for Magic the Gathering which is like the slower, more complex big brother of Hearthstone, but unfortunately Hearthstone beats it in every way when it comes to the digital version. Magic Duels has a wonky and confusing UI and it really takes a lot of getting used to, and the cards they included in the game don't really have enough diversity to make what I would consider to be a great deck. Maybe I just need to unlock more cards, but even just getting packs (if you are going F2P) takes a lot longer, because the packs cost more in game currency than in HS and require more games to be played and with longer games, that really adds up.
I love MTG, but the digital version just doesn't stack up to Hearthstone. Try it out if you are curious what obviously inspired Hearthstone, but if you aren't going to be playing with physical cards then it really isn't worth it.
