![]() ![]() In these cases the game becomes more interesting. They are all pretty similar, up until the point when you get more than one opponent. Once in the scenario you just play to win. The single player missions are basically extended tutorials you get thrown into a combat scenario without any prior input from the user. The avatar can also be directly attacked by the enemy if they have made it all the way to your side of the map. ![]() When your minions die your avatar loses health. In essence when you summon your minions to the game they are spiritually linked to your avatar. Each game revolves around you trying to keep your “Avatar” alive. Each turn has a time limit which is predetermined and when you don’t use a turn and allow the timer to run out you lose one point of health. Discarding cards raises your mana based on their discard points. It accounts for how many minions you can summon and what cards you can use per round. The user can micro manage their armies, at the expense of Mana, the currency within the game. However, there is little RTS elements within the game. The development team say that this is a turn based game with elements of RTS. This isn’t every ones cup of tea but it is most definitely mine. That’s +500 atk! Their defence is still naff though. ![]() With the blitz rush deck you can make your kobolds unbelievably powerful if you have say fifty kobolds, you can make one of those kobolds have an amazing amount of attack by using a card that increases a single kobolds attack power by ten for each kobold that is already summoned. As well as their being the separate minions to summon in each faction you are able to enhance them. I preferred the blitz rush deck which uses cards from the Fantasy faction, as it allows the spam summoning of kobolds, which are very weak but you can have ridiculous amounts of them. Each faction is good for its own reasons. ![]() There are two separate factions, spread across different decks, Fantasy and Horror. #MINION MASTERS REVIEW HOW TO#There is also a tutorial on how to build your decks which can be accessed through the tutorials tab or on the first time opening of the deck builder tab from the main menu. The tutorials are simple enough to follow but offer enough knowledge to the player that they can build upon them. As a noob to table top gaming I felt it necessary to run through the tutorials, not only because I was reviewing the game. #MINION MASTERS REVIEW PATCH#The in-game tutorials that were added in the last patch are brilliant. You are not confronted with a lot of information as to what each deck is good for, but I play as a mage in other RPG’s so I will be true to what I am (virtually). I chose the Sorcery deck, as I prefer playing as something that I am not (I am always me). When getting the game you need to choose what kind of deck you are going to go for. I say they succeeded and created a brilliant game that has taken up a lot of my time, mainly from multiplayer battles and level creation. It supports up to 6 player co-op as well as versus matches.īitFlip games wanted to create a game that held true to the physical RPG board and card games but featured elements that could only be created virtually. Maps have a hexagonal based design which allow for front, back and diagonal attacks. The table top gaming elements from where the game draws its inspiration is shown through the figurines battling within the game. Minion Master combines Real time and Turn based strategy games. BitFlip claim to have spent lots of time developing the game and testing it, so it looks like they made an effort to find a target audience other than themselves. However sad but true this story is, the game is great, plays well and has tremendous scope for multiplayer battles with friends and strangers alike. Apparently they once tried to throw a party but only half of those invited turned up. Looking at the history of Minion Master, you get the feeling that it was created purely for the development team. BitFlip games have returned to games development with a flourish, their first medium sized game from their small sized company is Minion Master. ![]()
