★★★★★ Incredibly Fun and Strategic
Sun Feb 13 2022 mimilinkIf you need a game to tickle that strategic itch, Creatures of Aether is an incredible choice. Games are relatively short, but each move carries massive amounts of potential weight. My only complaint is that Fleet’s tutorial in the challenge mode is currently unbeatable, as the ‘Pips’ she has left after playing all other creatures are only enough to tie the Cobbleclaw’s left number. (I assume this is an oversight that occured due to her numbers’ nerf.) Making it difficult to get a copy of the Rival. Still, even without fleet, the selection of Rivals, cards, and general strategies in this game makes it worth, at the very least, a try.
★★★★★ Great game, but micro transactions...
Wed Aug 11 2021 Passpartout himselfI love the core gameplay mechanics, but I think this game has a bit too many paywalls. I bought the season past for Guadua, and she’s a really fun and powerful rival, but it seems the only way to get her is with the pass. Also I think it’s a bit silly to put a limit on how much AP you can earn per day. Clash royale, which as a very similar monetary system doesn’t limit that kind of stuff, but keeps the pass rewards as well, still providing incentive to purchase the pass. I do think it’s easy enough to get new cards without paying so that’s good, but it’s hard to level them up because they cost thousands of coins to level up and it’s really hard to get coins. I know the game needs to make money but I don’t think you need to restrict that much stuff from the players who don’t buy the season pass. Also this isn’t the games fault but I spend a bit too much time waiting for matches and often face bots. Apart from the micro transactions, it’s a great game. It’s super satisfying to use a rival ability and completely change the match.
★★★★★ I Like and hate it
Sat Oct 03 2020 SapparuI like the game but I absolutely hate it at the same time. Creatures of Aether is very much like Tetra Master, a Final Fantasy mini-game but with a twist. Certain cards in Creatures of Aether have powers and the board does have elemental tiles that can give or remove stats. Although I did get a bit of nostalgia because it’s similar to Tetra Master, Creatures of Aether is not nearly as fun nor satisfying. Cards can level up if you have enough duplicates of the same card which means the game is pay to win. There is a total deck cost limitation meaning each card has a certain cost and if your deck is above the cost you cannot play the deck, I’d love to play all my strongest cards in a single deck but that would never happen. The elemental tiles are sometimes a pain to deal with because you can be forced to dump a card in an elemental tile that isn’t favorable for your cards element which means your card loses overall stats, there is a specific card that removes elemental tiles but if you didn’t pick that card as your starter, too bad. If you plan on trying the game, I do believe it can be fun but it is very much is pay to win.
★★★★★ Great game but needs updating
Tue Jan 26 2021 PurplePenguin53I love everything about this game from the concept to the gameplay but when it comes down to it, it still has a lot of bugs. When in game it takes a good chunk of time to find an opponent which is fine but when you get into a match with an opponent you glitch out 15% of the time, also there is a glitch in the reward ladder that doesn’t allow you to collect your rewards at a certain point but you can collect them before and after that point. Another thing it is way too time consuming to get more cards and resources, without a getting chests after every win the battle pass type system they have is fine but there needs to be something else besides micro transactions to keep people going. I’d absolutely love to see this game blow up but it’s simply not going to happen with all of these bugs and inconsistencies in play.
★★★★★ F2P Friendliness
Fri Oct 02 2020 Best_AppsBeen following this since the Rivals Direct. Happy to say it surpassed my expectations for enjoyment. It’s a nice breath of fresh air for PvP strategy games and the PvE feels better than I had hoped. So far the only thing that doesn’t feel as great is the economy. It may be due to the fact it’s new but there is a large disparity between the amount of gold earned from PvP compared and the amount needed to level up cards. I know mobile games need to reward players who spend money but when the most consistent F2P source of farming gives so little it doesn’t feel rewarding when I big brain someone 4 matches in a row and can’t even level up a rare card. I just wanna feel progress when I make big brain plays. Overall still love the game and am gonna keep playing!
★★★★★ Needs improvements
Sun Oct 18 2020 KoolmansamI really like the concept of this game. It was fun at first until I reached rank 4 or so and then started losing EVERY SINGLE match. Whether against IRL people or AI, regular or draft, it just doesnt matter. I can’t seem to win even a single game no matter how my deck is structured nor how I play out an individual game.
I dont understand what happened that has led to a HARD stop in the game for me. And the thing that makes it worse is there is very little you can do about it as F2P as a loss awards nothing but a couple coins which you need 100s and 1000s of to do pretty much anything in this game.
I was really enjoying this game and then all of a sudden something happened and it went from fun to nothing but losing 100% of the time and a feeling of there being nothing I can do about it :/
★★★★★ Like Chess With Power Ups
Wed Sep 30 2020 Tiger97613This is a really refreshing game. Unlike games like puzzles and dragons, this game really is a incredible game on its own even without being able to level up characters! The main “game” itself is super intricate and has tons of room for strategy. Even with the same deck, two players would likely play completely differently! There are so many different strategies it’s crazy! Also I love that this game does’t push the micro transactions too hard either! (One bug is tho that it doesnt show you how any purple orbs you get from mircotransactions. It onky shows the $ cost lol)
Overall great game and I can’t wait to pioneer new strats!
★★★★★ it’s amazing but there isn’t a lot of players anymore
Sat May 28 2022 OkumouraIn short this game is absolutely amazing it’s designed well it’s very well balanced the pvp matches are amazing and you don’t feel like ya got scammed when someone uses a money bought character! but then comes the problem there aren’t a lot of active players so about 98% of your matches will be against bots and I don’t mean player made bots I mean in game ai so it’s less annoying and more just that it’s way to easy…I want a challenge Dang it! LET ME FIGHT ANOTHER PLAYER PLEASE THIS GAME IS AMAZING BUT ITS DEAD!…well if you do download this game your first rival needs to be absa shes easily the most powerful of the four starters you can pick!
