ARCANIUM Rise of Akhan Free Download GAMESPACK.NET In a genre filling up with more games every month, how can you stand out from the pack as a roguelike deck builder? That’s the question that more and more developers are having to ask themselves now, as the card-based genre gains popularity. I love building a deck to beat up hordes of monsters, so thought I’d see if Arcanium: Rise of Akhan did anything interesting to spice up the genre. In a tumultuous fantasy world full of animals, it’s up to you to select a team of three furry or feathered heroes to battle against evil. Arzu is a land in peril, and with the threat of Arkan the Calamity ever looming it’ll take all their skill to succeed. It’s a cool world, but don’t expect a whole bunch of story to guide you through here. You’ll be too busy upgrading your decks to care anyway. That’s right I said decks plural. Each member of your team has their own deck of up to fourteen ability cards, which are what you use when battling the evil monsters trying to ruin your day.

And are always against three enemies. Each turn your characters have a set amount of AP to spend on different cards, which all have plenty of different effects. Some of the more basic cards will simply deal or block damage, but even at the start of a run you’ll have cards that do things like Leech, Weaken or Burn. The number of different status effects is frankly overwhelming, and if this is your first deck builder you’ll likely struggle. Even after many hours of battles I’d be constantly right clicking to see what the hell all these confusing terms meant. Attack cards fall into a couple of categories, melee and ranged. A melee attack can only hit the enemy directly across from you, whereas ranged attacks can target any adjacent lane. You can also swap positions with the character next to you for the cost of a single AP, which is important when damage is coming your way and one of your characters didn’t draw any block. Although it’s fairly complex, a lot of this will sound at least somewhat familiar to deck building veterans.

PARTY OF THREE

Arcanium has plenty more to show off though, like the inclusion of minions. These summonable monsters have attack and health, and essentially serve as a wall to block incoming damage for as long as they survive while also chipping away at your foes. I was really surprised when this deck builder suddenly turned into Hearthstone, and immediately tried to choose the heroes with minion based decks. It’s pretty wild how different each selectable hero is. They all have totally different decks and wildly different ways to play effectively, which is impressive when you realise there are sixteen available at launch. Some characters deal massive damage if you can combo enough cards in a single turn, some focus on never taking damage with ultimate attacks that negate the pain in a pinch, and some try to summon a butt load of skeletons and explode them in an enemies’ face.

You only start with three so you’ll want to focus on unlocking a variety of them asap, because it’s so much more fun when you do. Outside of the actual battles, Arcanium takes place on a huge map made up of hexagon tiles. Each tile has some sort of event on it, ranging from different difficulties of battles to campfires and conversations which will lead to you upgrading your decks or heroes in some way. You’ll probably want to choose any and all tiles that contain upgrades early on, because the difficulty ramps up insanely quickly. Normal battles are hard enough, but the map of Arcanium has plenty of Elite battles and Shard battles to try and take on if you dare too. These fights always offer higher rewards, but will decimate your team if you aren’t on the ball. The difficulty on the whole is pretty intimidating, and even after reluctantly changing the difficulty to casual I got beaten up pretty consistently.

UNIQUE TURN-BASED COMBAT

Once you visit enough tiles the threat meter at the top of the screen will fill, and when it’s full you’re in deep trouble. At this point the map starts to rapidly fill up with boss tiles, and if you’re anything like me your run ends. Beating the bosses is incredibly difficult, with each having a unique strategy needed to overcome them. At least I assume that’s how it works, because I personally beat two in total. If you can’t be bothered with the hexagon board part of Arcanium and just want to card battle your life away, the arena mode is for you. This is all action all the time, with mini booster packs of cards to choose from between each fight. It’s nice that there’s the option to play the game both ways, I only wish there was a way to make either of them easier. Arcanium: Rise of Akhan is a good deck building game, but its extreme difficulty and overall complexity hold it back from being a great one. The Shadow of Yidhra

If you really put the effort in there’s a lot to enjoy, with some unique elements like minions and lanes, but if you’re not a deck building prodigy you should probably hone your skills elsewhere first. Players will find a dangerous and constantly changing world full of adventures, monsters and of course loot. The game allows you to freely move around the open map (to nearby cells), which consists of about 50 such cells. Behind each of them, there is an event or an object (town or shrine). You decide how you will get to the next boss – will you wait out the night in safe zones or go straight through the dangerous corrupted zones. Yes, the game has a change of day and night and your chances of winning the battles depend on it.As for the combat system, it is pretty clear and fairly simple. The player and his opponent take turns, and both have 3 units at their disposal.

You simultaneously control them and decide for yourself who plays which cards – the main thing is that there is enough AP (Action Points) for this. Each hero has his own deck and equipment, which makes him irreplaceable in battle. Now only three heroes are available, but soon there will be much more of them, which will allow you to form a party at your discretion. The system of cards and their properties itself is generally understandable and it will not be difficult to figure out what the skills are. The game also has very unobtrusive and understandable tutorials that will bring you up to date on what works and how. The game is divided into Chapters, each of which has its own main quest, monsters and lore. In case of defeat or failure of the task, you can try to complete it from the very beginning.

your heroes will gain experience, which will open access to new cards and equipment. So every adventure will bring you closer to victory.

The game is available on Steam and now you can go on an exciting adventure! You know how in most of these games, your deck consists of literally every single card you pick up throughout each run, causing the driving force to become finding ways to remove cards from your deck, lest it become a bloated mess with zero synergy? And once you realize that

you’ll usually pass on cool or interesting cards unless they fit 100% seamlessly into your current strategy? Does it ever start to feel a little disappointing when it seems like your entire deck plan for a run is determined by the first few cards you get, because of those design choices? Enter Arcanium. Here, you control three heroes each with their own deck (which are fairly small, so it never feels onerous to be managing three). Unlike other games in the genre, getting a reward card doesn’t mean you have to add it to your deck. You can instead just add it to your “collection” for that run, basically – or “sideboard” if you’ve played M:TG – and at any time outside of battle you can tinker with your deck at will, adding and removing cards as you see fit.
