Bravery Network Online
-
“Ok, I have the advantage here. My Digital Attack is strong against the fighter they have out right now…”
-
“If they notice this, they will probably tag out into their other fighter with a high Digital Defense stat, meaning I won’t do much damage and they will have the advantage again…”
-
“If I predict their switch, and switch to my other fighter in the back with the high Physical Attack stat, I’ll keep my advantage and then be able to set up the win”
If you like this sort of turn based, mind games type combat, then you’ll love Bravery Network Online (BNO) !! It has a good selection of available fighters (with more on the way) - all with their own pools of possible attacks and tricks they can use. You can build up your team of 5 fighters and fight online against other people in both casual and ranked matchmaking. There are some story and single player elements, but BNO is mostly designed around PvP and playing online - at least at this point in early access.

I wrote my first review when I only played 5.8 hours of the game, and even then, I had a blast with the game. Now, with 195 hours in and getting 3rd place in a community run tournament, and running a tournament myself, I came back to revise my review.
The gameplay is much like competitive pokemon, you and your opponent bring in a fighter, and you select a move without knowing the opponent’s selected move. However, what I find most interesting in this game is that it does not have the random effects that can happen in pokemon. Statuses are not applied by chance, a critical hit is not random, and neither are misses, which are parries in this game. However, other reviews will talk about this at length, so I’d like to focus on another side of the game.

Shadowverse CCG
I come from a very strict family, and I always like card games, especially the Japanese ones.
But, my parents always get angry at me for wasting my money at these real form card games.
Not after this game was Introduced to me few months later from a feed on my social media where some weebs shown off their legendary card gacha pack.
I was intrigued by it and search it from google, and I found this hidden gem. The moment after passing the tutorial, I already fallen in love with the game.
But I was a bit too late, since it’s already on Darkness Evolved expansion pack and I’m missing many free stuffs. Nevertheless, I still enjoy playing the game until this day..

This CCG has its own cancer deck(s) of course, but it’s still good enough to recommend, since my experience is: a tiny bit of frustration, which quickly goes away, and a whole bunch of fun, that you won’t forget any time soon. Most of the following is very subjective, so that’s an other reason to try the game, but of course reading different opinions might help you decide if the game is for you, so here we go! (I’ll try to stay objective, where I can. Tl;dr: check the “OVERVIEW” part.)

So long story short: Stay as far away as you can. All the devs care for is quick ways to grab money. The recent “fixes” all did one thing- they made the game harder and impossible for anyone not spending a fortune (and I’m talking 5 digits here) in the long term. You will have some early success and than you will hit a brick wall, that gets higher and higher and higher.
When I started the game, it was already pay to win, but in a fair kind of way. You had lots of activities to participate in- sure without spending reaching the top is nearly impossible, but you could enjoy the game.

DO NOT PLAY THE STEAM VERSION!
If you want to play the game, do so on the Kongregate website. (I am not discussing the P2W aspect here).
I have 2 accounts, Steam and Kongregate, I started both on the same day, both are Rank 45 and League 13, I have spent equal ammount of money on both. The ammount of rewards, events and deals the Kongregate account gets compared to the Steam account is ridiculous!
The Kongregate Account got 4 days ago the “incredible summon” event, buy 10 chests and you get a legendary chest (containing best cards in game) for free, today again the same event. The Steam account didn’t get such an event at all.
