I really enjoy playing this game. The actual card game is a blast to play once you learn the trickier rules that make up the VS. system. What made me give this game such a low score is the fact that to experience the online card battles you have to pay, as in REAL MONEY, for the cards you use. While this keeps the quotient of players with uber decks gained in the single player game low, it keeps other people from playing at all. Secondly, expect to mulligan your first hand and restart entire matches frequently in the beginning. The starter deck you are given has very few 1 cost characters to begin matches with and the CPU opponent has an entire army of them, once you lag behind in the beginning it can be downright frustrating to even try to catch up. Finally, the text is rather small and you cannot zoom in to see any of the card art, in my eyes really defeating the purpose of putting the card art in the game at all.
If you are willing to put in a good 2 hours to learn the game and beat the first couple of opponents (depending on your draws) its worth a rent. Definitely not a purchase because EA style microtransactions are ruining gaming today!
