Played a few hours so far and it's fun. Worth all the 0$ I payed for it <_<. But honestly it is really good. I suggest giving it a try while you can grab it for free.
I was one of people who downloaded the game way back in 2016 when it was in beta. It was mesmerizing. You had to think about so much more than in any other card game I've played - probably on par with MtG (that I've never played). You had to think about how you would create your own board and how to manage resources, as you could store unpsent mana to play larger cards and keep your units near mana wells which generate +1 income. But having to buy DLC to get more competetive saddens me.
Just realised it can't be played on mobile :(
This is a great game. Lots of strategy, low RNG. Devs are timely at balance changes and actually buff cards.
It is very unique and fun to play. Probably the most strategic digital card game in my opinion, but games can run long because of this.
Is this a good game to get?
I think it's great fun.
It's certainly worth trying out, in my opinion.
One difference with most other card games is that mana carries over from turn to turn, so you can play expensive cards earlier if you don't spend all your mana.
A more obvious difference is the hex-based game board: positioning is very important, not only for combat but also for getting more mana (from the wells on the side) or summoning creatures (only on your own land of the right color).
As in Magic, you can use as many colors per deck as you like, although typically one or two are used. There are also neutral (colorless) cards.
A super quick intro for Hearthstone players:
The business model is friendly to people on a small but non-zero budget: if you buy a DLC, you can then unlock all the cards within it through chests (packs) which you get by just playing the game for a little while. The chests will never give you duplicates, so when you have all the commons and rares of an expansion, you'll open chests full of epics and legendaries. There are some modes you can play without paying anything, but I don't think you can get everything without paying.
There are also some nice lethal puzzles, similar to what Hearthstone had with Boomsday.
For free, yes it is.
