    The gameplay of Infinity Wars is characterized by its innovative simultaneous turn mechanic, which adds a layer of strategic depth and requires players to anticipate their opponent's moves. While many players appreciate the unique mechanics and the variety of factions, some express concerns about the game's balance and the presence of bugs that can detract from the experience. Overall, the gameplay is praised for its complexity and engaging mechanics, making it a standout in the digital trading card game genre, despite some criticisms regarding its execution and user interface.

    • “The gameplay itself is really solid too.”
    • “The simultaneous turn structure is pretty innovative, so if you are interested in trying out new gameplay patterns, definitely give this game a try.”
    • “The gameplay is unique, with intriguing mechanics and interactions.”
    • “The gameplay feels stale and like it didn't harmonize with the core mechanics.”
    • “Unfortunately, the devs took quite a few backwards steps including the revamp after revamp of the single player and the excessive convolution of gameplay and unlocking cards.”
    • “The gameplay was both somehow bland and overly complex.”
  • story
    218 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is generally viewed as underwhelming, often described as simplistic and lacking depth, serving primarily as a tutorial rather than a compelling narrative. While some players appreciate the campaign's structure and the potential for lore expansion, many criticize the execution, citing issues like poor voice acting, repetitive missions, and a lack of engaging content. Overall, the story is seen as a missed opportunity, with players expressing a desire for a more developed and immersive narrative experience.

    • “Infinity Wars is a great game, I've always loved card games but none of the online ones that I have played have had a great story mode to follow as well as a fun competitive atmosphere like Infinity Wars does.”
    • “The animated cards are fun and the idea behind them is really good; I like the story behind those dimensions with the same characters in different realms, it was really inspiring to play the campaign alone.”
    • “The single-player content still works, though the replay value isn't there and the story is... well, it's there.”
    • “What the game needed was expansions of cards and archetypes, and they wasted money on trying to fix the campaign storyline that did little but introduce you to the story and mechanics, which is all fine and important, but they wasted money and time revamping that and the revamp was pretty much garbage.”
    • “The campaign serves as less of a story and more as an extended tutorial to get you cards.”
  • graphics
    211 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the beautiful and animated artwork of the cards, which adds vibrancy and depth to the gameplay. However, some users criticize the overall visual quality, noting issues with the user interface and graphical glitches, particularly in the game's recent updates. While the art style is often described as unique and appealing, there are concerns about the game's performance and the lack of customization options for graphics settings.

    • “The artwork and animation - the artwork was always really well done and the coloring and style speaks to me.”
    • “The graphics of the cards really spice up the atmosphere, and the gameplay is solid and fun.”
    • “The animated artwork on the cards is beyond what I expected.”
    • “This game looked and played much better in 2014, which is insane to say. The new UI is terrible, the graphics are somehow worse, which I didn't think could happen after 7 years, but here we are. It's very pushy with the Patreon to get basic features, and there is no longer a tutorial available; to get a tutorial, you have to buy a separate $10 game from what I can tell.”
    • “In this reboot, they managed to suck out the life and magic of the original game, with a huge downgrade in graphics, generic to plain nonexistent animations, an ugly and clunky UI, and a just plain generic streamlined look and feel to the game.”
    • “The graphics are ugly, the menus are ugly, the graphics settings are locked to medium until God knows what part of the re-development pipeline, and so is Steam account linking.”
  • stability
    93 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting persistent bugs, glitches, and crashes that detract from the overall experience. While some players acknowledge that the developers are actively working to address these issues, many feel that the game remains unpolished and riddled with problems, making it difficult to recommend in its current state. Overall, the consensus is that while the gameplay has potential, the stability issues are a major barrier to enjoyment.

    • “That aside, the game isn't that buggy; usually, there are a few issues after a patch, but they tend to get resolved within a few weeks and aren't too major (things doing a little bit different than what the cards say, UI scrolling being a little off, etc).”
    • “Awesome game, well worth getting; not that buggy considering it's in beta.”
    • “This game has been plagued by bugs from the start, and a few tend to pop up every now and then after a new patch, but it's pretty much bug-free at the moment.”
    • “This game is an unpolished buggy mess.”
    • “The most buggy client I have ever used.”
    • “This game is not fit for release, do not pay money into it until you've played at least a few hours and experienced the many bugs and glitches the game has to offer.”
  • grinding
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a mixed experience with grinding in the game. While some players appreciate the relatively easy access to free cards and find the grinding manageable and rewarding, others criticize it as tedious and time-consuming, especially after reaching higher levels. Overall, the game offers a balance between free-to-play accessibility and the potential for grind-heavy gameplay, particularly for those aiming to compete at higher levels.

    • “Truly a nice game to play. It takes a bit of time, but it's not too grindy like other games I've played. The cards are fun to use as you slowly build your deck. The gameplay and the art style are nice, and you can tell they love the game. The animations on the cards are great to look at, and the art is so well polished. Gameplay is hard at times, but the campaign is almost perfect so far. Some fights require you to play your best, know your deck well, and just have fun. This is a good game to take your time with.”
    • “The fact that you must create an account only inside the game and not on their website (there's no option to make an account on their website nor to log in), extremely long training (took me 2 hours to complete it, with fails), tedious leveling and infinity points (IP) grinding, predictable AI.”
    • “You get rewards up to a certain level, but after that, it's endless grinding for IP to buy more packs.”
    • “The game's currency grinding is at a ridiculously slow rate and is halved if you lose; assuming you play perfectly and win every single game in the shortest amount of time, it would take you around 2-3 hours or 4 minutes per game to get enough to buy a single pack.”
  • music
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players praising the original soundtrack for its fitting and immersive qualities that enhance the gameplay experience. While some users find the music beautiful and captivating, others criticize it for lacking variety and being somewhat distracting at times. Overall, the soundtrack is generally regarded as a strong aspect of the game, contributing positively to its atmosphere and enjoyment.

    • “The music - when I loaded this up today and the music started, I got goosebumps.”
    • “Each faction has their own unique, wonderful soundtracks that you won't get sick of easily and are worth listening to outside the game.”
    • “The soundtrack for this game is absolutely amazing and fits the game really well.”
    • “The music is pretty bad though.”
    • “The music and sound effects are not exactly brilliant, but you will probably not notice them anyway, as anything too distracting would've been detrimental to the game.”
    • “But there's a sort of disconnect between the game: whether it be the UI, gameplay, music, art design, etc., everything is at odds with each other.”
  • monetization
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating that it is not pay-to-win, while others criticize the prominent presence of microtransactions and lootboxes that can give the impression of a cash grab. Many users express frustration over the necessity of spending real money for certain content, especially in light of previous promises from developers, leading to concerns about the game's future and overall balance. Despite these issues, some players acknowledge that the microtransactions do not significantly disrupt gameplay, making it a tolerable aspect of the free-to-play model.

    • “The monetization system where you only pay for card art is phenomenal.”
    • “I love this game for one huge reason: it's free to play. Yeah, there are microtransactions, but they do not cause any major balance issues.”
    • “Good game, microtransactions are not disruptive nor annoying.”
    • “The developers use not being pay-to-win as a major selling point, only to have microtransactions and loot boxes front and center that look like pay-to-win at first glance. Even though they are simply cosmetic and have no actual bearing on gameplay, it left a nasty taste in my mouth.”
    • “Don't know how, but they made this worse. You can't get your old cards unless you actually pay, and you can't even play multiplayer like they're advertising on YouTube. At best, this is a demo; at worst, it's a waste of 2GB downloaded. Don't touch it until they fix their massive mistake.”
    • “It's a simplified version of the previous game, designed with a mobile market cash grab in mind, as most mobile games are.”
  • replayability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is a mixed bag; while some players praise its variety, customization, and online deck options for offering significant replay value, others criticize the single-player content and matchmaking issues that limit long-term engagement. Overall, the potential for replayability exists, particularly in online modes, but many feel it is hampered by current bugs and a lack of compelling single-player content.

    • “This game is amazing, the variation and replayability is off the charts.”
    • “The cool thing about online is that you can use any deck you want (as long as it is legal) so there is unlimited replayability.”
    • “Great game, has lots of replay value, and although it says animated card game it is overall just a very good card game, with or without animations.”
    • “The single-player content still works, though the replay value isn't there and the story is... well, it's there.”
    • “Replayability: 2/10. This is a big sticking point with me.”
    • “So the replay value after the campaign mode is questionable.”
  • humor
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding the gameplay and animations amusing, particularly during AI battles and tutorial missions. While some elements, like the quirky artwork and animated cards, successfully convey humor, others fall flat, leaving players divided on the overall comedic effectiveness. Overall, the game features a blend of funny moments and missed opportunities, contributing to its unique charm.

    • “The gameplay is unparalleled, which is funny because it's got parallel turns.”
    • “Tutorial missions are funny and nicely done without being too boring.”
    • “Some of the animations (timely strike) are hilarious, and all of them are well done.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization remains a significant issue, with users reporting poor performance in the standalone launcher and frequent frame rate drops, even on high-end systems. Many players express a desire for better rewards and easier card acquisition, alongside a smoother gameplay experience, especially as the game is still in beta and lacks necessary optimizations.

    • “Better rewards and an easier way to earn cards, not to mention the game finally runs smoothly.”
    • “You won't run into performance issues running the game.”
    • “Since the game rewards you based on your performance.”
    • “After several years, it still lacks optimizations everywhere.”
    • “Most of my time has been in the standalone launcher (around one hundred hours), which is very poor in terms of performance.”
    • “I'm looking at you, Tera, with random warp barrier cancelling and atrocious optimization that leads to single-digit FPS on high-end systems.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the combination of these elements fosters a fun and competitive atmosphere that resonates well with players.

    • “This game gets a big thumbs up from me for a few reasons: lore, game atmosphere, captivating music, lots of science-fiction elements tied in with naturalism, and even tech-undead, which is really cool.”
    • “The animated cards are the best I have seen in this type of game; they are gorgeous, atmospheric, and fun pieces that do a lot to bring the player into the world, and they justify the time spent building decks.”
    • “Plays quickly enough and has a more mature atmosphere than Hearthstone.”
    • “And the animation is pretty nice; it has its distinct feel and fits this sci-fi atmosphere.”
