Eternal Card Game

The art style is incredible. The game mechanics are unique and fun. And the lore is deep, sophisticated, and intriguing. But the draw rates are one of the WORST in all of mobile gaming history. I cannot comprehend the logic behind the draw rates. Either the developers believed having an influx of too much mana or too many monsters could constitute “difficulty,” or there has been a serious lack of judgement of what makes a game fun. I played several games in which I draw over 14 sigils one after another in one match. Then I tried to create a new deck and again drew an absurd amount of monsters one after another (about 9) without any sigils; and then played a new game where I drew 11 sigils one after another without monsters. The algorithm used to “randomize” decks is a joke. I tried to go online and create decks based on the suggestions of other players. And still, the algorithm makes the draw rates hilariously bad. One just cannot have a “balanced” deck in this game at all, no matter what one does. I tried to reduce the number of cards in my deck; I tried to increase it. I added more sigils, reduced sigils, added more spells, reduced spells, etc. NOTHING WORKS. Playing against other players becomes impossible, and the AI will ALWAYS win in PVE. These imbalances make it so that players continue to believe that there is a thin possibility of beating this algorithm; which then gives incentive to spend more time making decks; which inevitably leads to wanting to purchase packs; which then leads to spending money. I highly recommend NOT downloading this game. The draw rates are very bad, the AI is rigged against you all the time, and no matter what you do for however long, you will always end up drawing too many monsters at a time or too many sigils. You cannot win at any event or match with this game. Other games exist that have better randomized algorithms for balanced draw rates. Yugioh Duel Links, while with its own meta problems, is descent. There is a reason why games like that continue to evolve with constant new updates whereas this one just stagnates. It’s a shame. This game has amazing potential, and the artwork is very cool. I really like the different characters and stories as well, and I could see this becoming a Netflix show or a YouTube series. But the fact that players cannot even properly play or draw cards to a deck they created makes me want to uninstall this game and just look at the artwork on my own time online. Download if you don’t want to take this game seriously. Avoid if you want to have fun.
