Title: Tyrant
Post by: Aez on May 14, 2011, 08:41:04 AM
I'm having fun so far.

It's an improved Warstorm. A TCG where building your the deck is more important than playing the game.  Very gimmicky to get your cash through micro-transactions.  The worst part is the energy feature than limit your game per day.

I wasted 20$ on it to see if it would improve my playing experience and it didn't really made a difference.
Those who liked Elements a while back should give it a try. We could start a Bat Country faction if enough play.

I liked Elements a lot, but a key selling point of it was that you could be competitive without spending any money. I'll give this a shot though, assuming I can be decent for free.

I played a little more today, some precisions:
The energy feature is not that bad, it resets in an hour and an half - still annoying since you can't play more than 4 or 5 missions in a row
It seems you can access everything with out money (except cards from the most recent expansions)

Strategy wise :
The skill Strike is really good with no real counter (that I have met yet)

Finally gave it a shot. Ran into my first Raid; not sure what Request Help does but here's a link (http://www.kongregate.com/games/synapticon/tyrant?kv_joinraid=1037648) if you could lend me a hand.

It's pretty good so far; refilling the energy when you level up certainly helps.

Your raid was expired when I tried to help.  I did one so far and it only seems to boost faction standing. 

The energy refill as you level up is not that useful once you hit lvl 5 and progression slow down.

The counter to Strike is heal, especially the universal version.

I don't think I'll play this for more than a week, but I'm hooked at the moment.

Evade works too.

Heal, Evade and cards with lots of hit points.

I still play everyday.  It gets better has you get more cards.  I just got into a faction and it double the fun.  Don't apply to faction until you're lvl 15, they will reject your application.  Weak members give free points to the other faction in a war.

I'm with Kryptologic, a random faction I recently joined.  Here's the league if you want to join : http://www.kongregate.com/games/synapticon/tyrant?source=finv&kv_apply=426001 (http://www.kongregate.com/games/synapticon/tyrant?source=finv&kv_apply=426001)

I'd put this one down a week or so ago, but I hit up your link to start up again. I like the game, the mechanics are solid.

I'm not thrilled with how critical rare commanders are. Having a lower tier commander is hard as fuck to overcome in pvp.

Also the pvp ranks take tooooooo long a grind and it honestly is pretty boring to play since the stakes are non existent.

The stakes are in the faction ladder.  You lose ranks when you lose a war.  The regular pvp (arena) is completely useless.  It's so useless it doesn't even waste energy/stamina.
