This helps each hero have a different feel. They each have unique abilities, deck cards, and health pools. What makes Hero Realms more unique from other card games is the heroes. Sounds simple but with the card synergies, the random market, and guards, the game always leaves the player with options. The game is decided when one hero loses all their health. There are coins used to buy from the market, and also attack which is used to stun champions and attack heroes. The card art is straight from the game, and as such is great.įor those not familiar with Hero Realms, it is a deck building game that uses a two-resource system. There is some design flourish but not as bad as other digital card games that I feel put too much effort into having an animated background when something like the above works great for me. Screenshots can also be found on the Kickstarter page. So let’s take a quick look first at the layout of the digital game. The project creators promise play will be available on iOS, Android, and Steam. Note, the project has already funded as of July 22 with seven days left in the campaign, and according to the Kickstarter page, backing the game now grants you Beta Access to start playing Hero Realms Digital in August before the game is available to the public.

It is easy to teach, plays quickly and appeals to a variety of gamers. If you are looking to add a deckbuilding game to your collection, Hero Realms should be on the list. With the base game and Hero packs, it is best with two players. You will want to try out all the Characters and see which play style you like best. I enjoy Star Realms, but the Character packs and fantasy theme make Hero Realms a better game. You can teach this to non-gamers and be playing in minutes. It makes a great introduction to the deckbuilding genre and can be enjoyed by a variety of ages. Hero Realms is a fun, streamlined deckbuilding game. The cleric heals themselves, the ranger scouts their deck, the fighter does damage, the thief forces their opponent to discard a card and the wizard draws a card. One special ability can be used once per game and the other cost two gold but may be used once each turn. The packs introduce thematic mechanics through the unique starting cards, different starting health and special ability cards. Currently there are five different classes cleric, ranger, fighter, thief, and wizard. Each Character pack includes a unique starting deck. You can also get Character packs for Hero Realms. Some cards’ special abilities only trigger if you play more than one card of the same faction. Each faction is represented by a different color and symbol. There are four different factions in Hero Realms. Defeated Champions go in your discard pile. If they have the guard ability your opponent cannot attack you until that Champion is defeated. Unlike other cards Champions stay in front of you until your opponent defeats them by doing damage equal to their health. They might replenish your health, force your opponent to discard a card, or let you draw a card. This goes on until someone loses all their health. Once you finish it is your opponent’s turn. Gold is spent to buy cards from the market and combat damages your opponent. You total all your gold and combat played for the turn. On your turn you draw five cards and play them in any order. You start Hero Realms with 10 starter cards and 50 health. It is not a straight reskin of the game, but they do share many similar mechanics. Hero Realms is closely related with Star Realms. You build your deck while trying to defeat your opponent. Hero Realms is a fantasy-themed, deckbuilding card game.
