Black Deck - Das Kartenspiel

Auf Android kosten die Sachen halb so viel wie auf ios.

Spiel hängt sich leider bereits im Tutorial auf. Nachdem mit 3 eigenen Karten angegriffen wurde erfolgt ein letzter generischer Angriff. Danach ist Schluss, nichts mehr anwählbar. Mehrfacher Neustart brachte keine Besserung. Schade drum.

I’ve been playing Black Deck for a long time, and I genuinely enjoy the game. That is exactly why I’m writing this review. I recently encountered a critical issue caused by inaccurate skill descriptions. I invested a huge amount of time, resources, and even real money into developing a unit whose actual mechanics do not match its description. The clearest example is Hell Guard and its ability “Reckless Hell.” The description clearly states that it deals damage equal to 5% of this unit’s Initial Power every turn. In reality, the effect only works during the first five turns and then stops completely. This is fundamentally different from what the description says. I built my entire strategy around this unit because I trusted the in-game description. As a result, I invested a significant amount of resources into a unit that does not work the way it is described. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. Throughout the game, the terms “Initial Power” and “Maximum Power” always represent exactly the same value. “Maximum Power” never includes temporary buffs gained during battle. It is always calculated only from the unit’s base stats at its current upgrade level plus artifacts, exactly like “Initial Power.” This is extremely misleading because these two different terms describe the same value while naturally implying different mechanics. Players expect “Maximum Power” to include every increase to a unit’s power during battle, but it never does. Players should never have to guess how abilities actually work. Skill descriptions should accurately reflect the game’s mechanics. Please either make the mechanics match the descriptions or rewrite the descriptions so they accurately explain how abilities are actually calculated. Accurate skill descriptions are essential for a strategy game.

The game keeps crashing on iPhone 7. Won’t start for several times in a row. No error message. Probably memory issues. Game is pay to play same as many other modern games nowadays. Too many months to play to get better cards… sad
