![]() ![]() Playing resources and certain other cards will build up charges over the course of each game. Each champion has a charge ability that they can use to affect the game, along with different starting life totals. Hex is also notable for having champions, special characters that represent you in a game. Finally, several cards have their own unique win conditions. You can also win if your opponent needs to draw a card and there are none left in their deck. ![]() You’ll use these to attempt to reduce your opponent’s life to 0 and win the game. You’ll play resource cards called “shards” to cast spells and summon troops. In a game of Hex, your starting life depends on which champion you pick (see below), with a fairly large range. If you’re familiar with Magic the Gathering, you should skip down to the second post and see the information for players moving over from Magic. So how does the game play? Hex uses many traditional CCG and LCG mechanics but innovates by doing things that can only be done in a digital space (modifying cards in your deck, creating new cards and shuffling them into your opponent’s deck). There was a lawsuit, but the parties settled out of court with very few changes to the game. I heard the game is being sued/shut down by Hasbro (Wizards of the Coast). Selling Platinum (the premium currency) for cash is frowned upon as well. You'll probably also see some Cardshark type site to facilitate selling to other users. I would expect to see retailers like MTGO Traders crop up. They've essentially said that they do not plan on regulating the secondary market, so they aren't going to clamp down on you for selling your cards. This is a legal nightmare and HXE doesn't want to mess with it. If I decide to cash out, can I sell my cards for real dollars on the AH? No. It will also be cheaper than keeping up with Magic. If you want to be super competitive Hex WILL cost you more cash than an LCG like Netrunner.

Hex has a couple things going for it on this front. I don’t care about the PvE stuff, is this game still for me? What’s wrong with you?! Well, the PvP is pretty comparable to Magic the Gathering, so if you want to play a game like Magic that is cheaper and takes better advantage of the digital space, you might find Hex to your liking.Īren't TCG's really expensive? They can be. Eventually, there will be Guild support, multi-person raids, and much more! There are a ton of features around these elements, and many will be discussed below. In PvE, you’ll go on mission chains with divergent paths, build you champions, and level your hero. So how is it an MMO? Good question! HXE is dividing gameplay into PvP and PvE play. ![]() They’re also been putting out more deck builders lately They make other games, like some licensed stuff that niche/hobby gamers usually don't care about, and a couple fun ones that they do like Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. It is made by Hex Entertainment (HXE, which is part of Cryptozoic Entertainment, notably the makers of the WoWTCG, which was probably the second most successful adult-focused TCG after Magic: The Gathering for quite some time.
