I don't know how many of you have played this game here, but I for one find the game really hard! For example... you'll play the Tutorial level, and after that, the game'll hand your Ass to you on a platter! Here's where I'm stuck... you start out with a couple "hero's"; no matter what you do, and how slow or fast you do it... there's a level six enemy waiting for you, or approaching your castle to conquer it. The trouble is, even on Easy, you are only 3 level at MOST. Basically the game can be finished within a few turns if I was my opponent, but when I try to work my way up the ranks, there's no chance. The only way I can see winning this game, is through trial and error... which really sucks. I don't want to have to load and reload to win...

I want to win on my own merit. Having to first encounter the enemy to "know" or anticipate his hand is ludichrist! I suppose now, since I know what the incoming enemy will always have in his hand, I can figure out a combo to defeat him, and this is half the game, but on the second map I have to do this?! Hmmm... That doesn't sound like too much fun if I have to do this EACH AND EVERY map from here on out. My default "decks" sould be able to dish out more than what I can... People reviewing this game relate it to Heroes of Might and Magic... What does anyone think of that game? Or Disciples, or that other one that is similar (sorry forgot the name)? War... something maybe? I dunno... I'm gonna give this a try one more time... but for now, including the voice acting, it's really hard, bothersome, and it tends to suck without some guidance.
