Nice game. beautiful graphics, the RTS/Cards gameplay is a success, lots of units - buildings - spells. Now the bad points about this game is.. there's absolutely no skill required. that's it, it is a fake RTS - there's no micro-managing to do, the better cards you have, the faster you will finish the missions. And forget about pvp if you dont have the expensives "For the win" cards. One another downside is the lack of end game content, you end up doing the same missions 40 times trying to upgrade your cards. BUT it will entertain you for a while, give it a try it, you won't regret it.

in-game gold is pretty usless its only use is upgrading cards and ill be suprised if you found anyone selling bfp i dont think anyone with bfp will ever need gold they realy have to make a shop for cards that is bought with gold that would be decent but i think ea is so cheap to do that they just want players to pay money to get cards besides here is some cons you didnt add con:reapeting quests is so booring becuase quests take so much time con:not alot of quests so if your not going to pay go play saga its more better cuz it have over 60 quests and while this cant even pass 35 and saga ingame gold is realy usful and can buy all cards with it

it is a really good game but Anonymous is right it is really fun until you start to play ranked matches becous then you need to spend Real money to get booster packs or you will have to spend weeks playing missons over and over again until you can afford some of the good cards from other players:)

This is probably one of the most interesting games that I have ever played. It is true that you have to spend some money to play but $20 will get you everything but the most expensive cards,which you dont really need anyway. Considering that it is a game with constant updates and the fact that its cheaper then a normal game I think its a good deal. The one problem I have with the game at the moment is the lack of card balance when dealing with 3 or 4 seriously overpowered cards but you can learn to deal with them if you practice enough. All in all one of the best games i've played in awhile I would recommend it to any RTS fans out there.

Battleforge is an innovative RTS game that uses a card system for summoning units, buildings and casting spells. It's kind of like playing Magic in real time. Resources are collected at a fixed rate per mine and then there are special capture points that count as tech levels. Capture more of these and you can summon higher tier units and spells. Because you are like an omnipotent god watching the battle from above and casting spells to summon units, units can be summoned almost anywhere as long as you have ground units nearby. This eliminates production buildings and adds a great dynamic aspect to the game. Although you suffer a 50% unit life penalty for summoning away from a building, it's a useful boost to be able to summon new units straight into a battle for an extra bit of support. The CCG (customizable card game) aspect of the game is interesting as well. Now the the game is downloadable for free and they make their revenue by having players buy expansion packs of cards for real money just like a real CCG. I haven't put up any money for it yet so I don't know what the exchange rate is but it is the only way to get new cards unless you can find a player that is willing to trade BF credits for gold. So, like a real CCG, there are common, uncommon, and rare cards which you have a probability of getting in your expansion packs. I found Battle Forge to be an entertaining game but I hate micro payment games that like to hook you in because it's very easy to end up spending more than you would on a standard payment game. I would be much happier shelling out $50 up front and having access to everything even if I have to grind for months to unlock everything. With that in mind, this is my view of the pay system. There are obviously limitations that you cannot surpass with the given cards at the start because they don't necessarily compliment each other well but you do have access to the "full" game. You are allowed to play any map and join any game, you just don't have a chance of winning some of them unless you are very good. While the randomness of the cards bought in expansion packs is "realistic" I don't care for that realism. If I pay money, I like to get something worth it. I always hated buying 5 packs of Magic cards as a kid at getting 2 or 3 packs of junk. It felt like such a waste and that was why I got out of it. I had horrible luck getting the good cards and there was nothing I could do about it except throw more money at it to get what I wanted which I thought was stupid. For that, I am disappointed with Battle Forge. It really does feel like a real CCG which some people will enjoy but I am not one of those people. So unless you've got some coin spend this is a long download (2.8G+ of updates) for a relatively short play of a cool game.
