![]() Whereas Hex has people very high up in the companies chain being hands on with development, but has had to go down the route of using a KickStarter community funded project to get the money they need, which they have done easily gaining $2.3 mill of the $300k they were after. When it comes to development Blizzard have a fifteen man team backing Hearthstone, some of which have some experience in playing Trading Card Games to some extent, and the money of the company to throw behind it. In comparison you have Cryptazoic who have never published a video game before, but are actually known for publishing comics, board games and physical TGC. ![]() ![]() In first place you have Blizzard who have decades of online game crafting experience and the huge World of Warcraft title to throw weight behind its Trading Card Game, but this is still the first Trading Card Game that has come from the studio. So before analizing each game lets weigh up the two companies and make some interesting observations. Now as a newbie there may be instant appeal to go with the simpler game and so this article may seem bias, but how accessible the more complex Hex:SoF has made itself to new players may be a major make or break factor in itself. The two games we’re taking a look at also seemingly differ in complexity Hearthstone the World of Warcraft themed TCG from Blizzard, and Hex: Shards of Fate from Cryptozoic, a more complex Trading Card Game. Secondly, we don’t actually have beta access to either of these games yet, so this is a general look and comparison of the available features and how accessible they are to a newbie such as I am. Now, it’s probably worth mentioning that I have never played a Trading Card Game, either physically or digitally, and so I don’t really know how these kind of games work. We also invite you to make us know what do you think about the article, either here or on facebook and twitter. Today we look at Hearthstone and HEX: Shards of Fate the two new upcoming TGC (Trading Card Games) that are still in testing and decided to do a comparison to see what a new player such as myself would be letting themselves in for.
