If you’re a fan of Hearthstone (Free), you will want to keep an eye on Nova Blitz from Dragon Foundry. I got to play a demo of the game on iPad at PAX South, and it revealed itself to be a very fast-paced take on the card battler. The game’s turns essentially tkae place simultaneously, as you have a few seconds to draw out cards from your deck, and then play your cards, and a match can be over in a few minutes thanks to the rapid pace of the game. There’s very little waiting around to do anything, you’re constantly engaged.
The game is planned to be multi-platform from the get-go, with the game being demoed on a series of iPads at their booth. You can give a PC demo a try at their website that was basically identical to what I played. The game’s currently in development, and a crowdfunding campaign is going on right now. The game is aiming to be free-to-play with card packs to buy, and there will be a drafting mode available. The speedy pace of the game should make it really fun for the impatient and people on the go, so keep an eye out for this one if you’re a CCG fan.
