The play will literally throw their card of choice onto the battlefield. If the player has enough mana to cover the cost of the card, the cards enchantment will be cast.

Looks pretty awesome if you have your monster army to fight :-)Cant wait for Multiplayer to fight my friends in VR :P. No communication from dev, and no recent updates. Seems crazy because he's buying assets, supposedly, and not modeling the creatures himself. I had a lot of hope for this game, and I'm still holding out, but right now, seems like another shameless cash grab with no real interest in trying to finish the game. One could argue he's made no attempt to make the game at all.. this build is not even a demo all u can do is a single player match against one NPC with fixed decks of like 8 different cards havn't heard from the dev in a min. there is a difference between early access and a demo and for a demo this is lame calling this EA is false advertising and i wouldn't waste your time when there are better games out there. For fans of Magic, this is a must-have. You are literally *in* the game, which takes it to a whole new level.The gameplay is straightforward (but with lots of room for strategy), and the graphics are gorgeous!A very welcome change of pace from the countless zombie-killing games and wave shooters.. i love love love love this game. all i keep thinking about is MAGIC THE GATHERING ALL LIFE SIZE IN THIS . cant wait for that . now for this game i would say its game play is like both harth stone and mtg . with some of its own rules.i love it when you play a spell that are not creatures but a spell spells you your self are the one doing it like a arcan beam or fire arrows very cool idea since it depends on your aming skills . but ya very happy with it. cant wait for the full game.. This game has a lot of potential but due to a lack of spells IMO the experience is too short to be worth the price of admission.. It had a lot of potential but now it feels abandoned. It has been months since the last response from the dev and we only had one update which wasn't a major one. I hate to give it a negative review but at the current state I do not recommend it.. Great game with a great concept. The only problem here is getting a good solid amount of cards and the multiplayer and deck builder online. If you can do those things this game will be the most popular card game in vr and the only one of its kind.It's very promising and I hope the developer puts in the effort.. Let me first preface by introducing myself. I'm a Swedish card game enthusiast with 20+ years of MtG experience and been playing Hearthstone since beta. I also enjoy games such as Netrunner. Obviously, I also like VR. Especially the Vive.My take on this game is that it has a lot of potential. The basic system is very similar to Hearthstone. You have a deck of cards, a new mana crystal each turn and some abilities that are exactly the same as Hearthstone (charge for instance). The twist to the game as I experience it is in the unique VR features that differentiate ManaStorm from regular card games. Just like Hearthstone does things with RNG (such as summoning random minions) which just aren't possible with a paper card game, ManaStorm leverages the unique capabilities of virtual reality to add an extra layer to the game.Here are a few examples:* You start each game with a bow and a fire arrow (you can get more arrows through cards). This arrow can be used at any point in the game to deal one point of damage to an enemy minion, BUT only if you can hit it with your bow. This adds an element of dexterity and skill to your play.* One of the cards gives you a beam of searing light to wield for a turn. This beam spreads damage to anything you point it at for four seconds. There is currently a damage cap, but the idea of allowing the player's skill in handling this spell determine it's effectiveness is exciting to me.* You start each game with a shield, which can be triggered once to reduce damage. Currently it's a one-off and blocks every time you activate it. But adding an element of skill would be possible here as well. Timing your blocks to shield you from attacks and allowing critical blocks would be great gameplay.The creator of Manastorm has shown the ability to mix potions on the battlefield as a future feature. This also looks like an exciting feature if done correctly. The key to all of these features is to put the player under pressure to perform them. The way Hearthstone works is with a 90-second turn limit. If you're expected to play cards, assign attacks, shoot arrows and mix potions all in a minute and a half, I can see this being an exciting foundation for good game play.The game is now in it's early stages (pre-access that feels like early beta). And depending on how big the creators want to make it, their ambition might exceed their grasp. CCGs are very demanding in terms of content, balancing and gameplay. With a 3D model and voice lines for each card, that's a lot of work and the game is currently quite rudementary in comparison to other CCGs. I wish the very best for this game, and hope that they have the courage and tenacity to follow through on what they've set out to do. You have my $5 and my support. Let's make this happen!Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Daggasoft. I have not been given a review code or been incentivized in other ways to write this review.tldr; It's like Hearthstone but with fire arrows. I hope that the developer will continue with the development of this game.Please add a campaign, and multiplayer, and some achievements.Also i think the game price at the time is too low, to have the developer encouraged to continue his work.
