TheDukester’s quick review of Eternal:
Positives
- There’s many different game modes
- It’s fairly easy to earn new cards or card packs
- Card packs have 16 cards
- Interesting keywords
- There’s blocking! That’s right – no more making smoothies and watching Netflix when it’s not your turn. You’ve got to pay attention
- The storyline is not bad. It’s sixguns & sorcery
- Active online community. No waiting for a game.
- The UI is smooth. I can’t ever recall having a UI issue, either on my Mac or on the iPad.
Negatives
- Mana screw/mana flood. But there’s a lot of cards that will help prevent that from happening too often.
- Up to four copies of legendaries are allowed. So the shut-ins and the whales are always looking for game-breaking cards, then making decks with four of them. Thankfully, the decks are big enough that drawing killer cards is never a guarantee.
Final analysis
- Miles better than Hearthstone
- The keywords and the ability to block make every game seem different and challenging
- Get it
