Been playing for a few months and, despite my initial misgivings, I'm hooked. True to the 40k universe lore, tons of factions to play as, great card illustrations, and you don't have to pay to be competitive. The first faction you unlock is one of the most powerful and easiest to play as. Even if you pay money its not a guarantee you'll have an objectively better deck as the gems required to purchase epic and legendary cards in the shop are not directly available for purchase - they're won when you pull a double of a card you already own out of a booster pack with random cards in it, and from playing ladder and event matches. Not that it's expensive to buy crates. You can get five crates of five cards for six bucks, each with one card guaranteed to be rare or better. I started out f2p but now I drop 25 bucks on the game every couple weeks to help fill out deck builds in fine tuning. Fans of hearthstone will catch on quickly Great game, would recommend to any fan of 40k or sci fi in general.
