Game Review: Star Realms

[appstore id=”893447125″ style=”custombox1″]

 


Star Realms can be summarized in a single statement: Simple Drafting SciFi Card Game.

The gameplay of Star Realms is amazingly easy! You play cards which give you energy or combat points that you use to purchase more cards or damage your enemies. Where the game gets interesting is in the multiplayer online community. My win ratio only hovers around 50%, and I often get obliterated by other players. The game itself is not as robust as some of the other more notable card games on the app store, but it is one of the most enjoyable.

I hope that the developers continue to expand the game and add additional functionality to the app.

As a perk, when you purchase the game, you get universal access (iOS, Android, PC and Mac) to the Online Communities and advertisement free gameplay.

Summary

Star Realms is a good card game, but it leaves us hanging. I wish that it had more engaging and complete storylines and built upon the deck in expansions. The interface is easy to adopt and pick up, but the menus can be a bit hard to navigate. If this game only showed some signs of expansion and additional gameplay mechanics, I would rate it much higher.
