President Cory Jones boasts about another unique aspect cards have sockets! Socketing gems “fundamentally changes” the cards. Upon viewing many of the game play videos I found it looked and acted more like a TCG than Hearthstone ever has. Hex will have both PvP and PvE aspects, an auction house to trade cards, guilds and quests. So what is the difference between this and Hearthstone? Hex’s gameplay makes Hearthstone look like small potatoes. Luckily, Cory didn’t have to resort to those tactics, in a mere thirty days, 17,765 backers raised $2,278,255 (yes, you read that correctly!) With that amount of cash the game didn’t just launch into Alpha stage, it exploded. At the top of the Kickstarter page is a video featuring Cryptozoic’s President Cory Jones in a comical attempt to raise money for the game (like robbing a bank or selling his kidney) while discussing the game. To this very day, the wizard lives in this most hostile place, waiting for someone to challenge him and his minions in the Frost Ring Arena.It began with a Kickstarter campaign in May of 2013 which aimed for $300,000 to jumpstart BETA. One thousand years later the renegade Hogarth managed to pin down the exact location of this long forgotten arena, which cast a spell over the curious and inquisitive, and surrounded him with arcane secrets of all kinds. After the Hex meteorite impact which rocked civilisation to its very foundations, this once flourishing land faded into obscurity. The icy theatre is found in the northernmost reaches of the Hyperborean Mountains, an inhospitable, sparsely populated corner of the world of Entrath. With the release of the Frost Ring Arena, the story surrounding the world of HEX: Shards of Fate enters the focus of events for the first time. To make it easier to manage decks, the interface now offers additional areas for players to put together their PvE and PvP decks. Certain cards, for instance, earn a higher damage value with each victorious duel. The new PvE cards are exclusive to bouts against the AI and differ in the way they work from the regular PvP troops and spells. If the player manages to complete a challenge during a duel, they will earn themselves a bonus for the subsequent rounds, such as an extra unit or the ability to continue to the next level despite having already lost three rounds.
In this case Hogarth, Lord of the Arena, appears in person and lays down a specific challenge to the players, such as to win a duel without taking more than five points of damage. Depending on how far the player has managed to progress, they will receive rewards in the form of rare items, cards and gold.ĭuring a tournament in the arena, there’s a certain random element which can crop up to add a little extra flavour. If a player loses three rounds in the ring, the attempt to run the arena is a failure. In addition, the duels against the AI opponents differ in their composition from the previously seen PvP bouts, in such that certain creatures make exclusive use of cards of a specific category, for instance, or draw heavily on countermagic. To guarantee replayability, the adversaries are randomly chosen at each start from a pool of a total 30 normal AIs and 7 bosses. The Frost Ring Arena is divided into four wings, each consisting of four regular opponents and one boss. The trailer offering a preview of the contents can be watched here. The Frost Ring Arena will have players duelling against various AI opponents as part of an overarching storyline, with newly introduced PvE cards expanding the repertoire of playable effects, spells and troops to over 700. Karlsruhe, – Gameforge and HEX Entertainment are expanding the beta of the digital TCG HEX: Shards of Fate with the first single-player content.
