Card Wars - Adventure Time Card Game App Reviews

If you are a fan of Adventure Time and like card-based games such as Magic the Gathering you will love this game from Cartoon Network and the development team from D3. The theme of this iOS title is based on Season 4, Episode 14 of Adventure Time, when Finn agrees to play Jake at a game of Card Wars. The gameplay here is solid and you can tell the Developers at D3 put in a great deal of thought and time into the game mechanics. Rounds are sometimes imbalanced but that depends largely on your deck, the cards you acquire while playing (or crafting), and the randomness of your draw. If you are only looking at playing the occasional game while on the bus or at home you will likely enjoy this game experience. Where this game becomes awesomely competitive and disastrous at the same time (more on the latter in a moment) is in the Tournament play. In short, you are placed into a pool of 100 other Card Wars players for an opportunity to win the one-of-a-kind Black Card if you rank #1, a unique Tournament card if you place in the top 2-10, or an assortment of Gems and coins if you rank lower. Each tournament lasts 2-weeks. If you become an avid Card Wars player like I did (1-2+ hours a day) you quickly realize that Tournament Play is your calling. It’s an opportunity to play against other decks generated by other players. To save time, the Card Wars AI plays as your opponent. This is hugely rewarding as it pits you against some very challenging decks from around the world and helps you learn how to craft a better deck of your own. What’s hugely disappointing about Card Wars is that the game is riddled with bugs, particularly in tournament mode. Connection Errors, when they pop up, are relentless and they often happen during the last few hours of a tournament when you are battling against others to improve your ranking and receive a rare tournament card. The battle wheel will also occasionally lag (on my iPhone 6+) causing you to miss crucial attack and defensive opportunities. And what has become even worse is that now my deck hand often freezes so that I cannot place cards on the battlefield. I have lost at least a dozen battles these past 2-days alone due to my deck freezing. There are other smaller nuisances I have learned to adapt to but suffice to say the above are the most frustrating. I have attempted to contact D3’s support page on a couple of occasions to help them diagnose the issues but they seem rather clueless. The worst was the second and last bug report I submitted where I received the following: "Hello D3 Go! Customer, Thank you for contacting D3 Go! Customer Support. Your account has been automatically flagged by our system for exploiting Deck Wars. As such, we are unable to provide any assistance for this issue. Best Regards, D3 Go! Customer Support Team (EDG)” The above correspondence from D3 is what convinced me to throw in the towel. Despite having invested a modest but significant sum of $20 into this game I would have expected more than sheer dismissal from their support team and a completely ridiculous accusation by them. I don’t even know what it means. In summary? Save your money and do not support this title. The bugs make a potentially awesome card-based battle game not worth the frustration. Or play it with the caveat that it’s entertaining for a few moments here and there - and don’t subject yourself to the frustration of the Tournament Play. Or perhaps do, with fair warning of the bugs that you’ll encounter. And to the support team at D3? I would like to send you one rather sour smelling toot from Jake and a raspberry from Finn. :-P

The spin is rigged! I always get 5 hearts or 1000 coins + The calendar gave me 40 days to finish it and I got to the end and then it reset but it said it was cleared but the final day it said Yo! You still have 19 more days left. Would you like to spend 5 gems to get the grand prize... Please fix these things. I will give 5 star.

Addictive but crashes after every single battle and sometimes during.

its Great game and all but after some updates the game would always kick me off. hopefully the Halloween update fixes it because its a pain.

was an awesome game until its stopped working, iOS 9 compatible?

It crashs each time you win a battle proplem with iOS 9?

This game randomly crashes a lot. Dont waste your money on this game.

I have tons of gold cards including Dr death I also have Eye guy (black card) before it crashes when I win a game now it just wont open it just crashes FIX THIS

"Do you have any ICE bro?" No, but I cant quit out of a character selection menu before starting a game either because the side-challenge button covers the X to close the window! Cmon guys, do you even test the software before it goes out? --- Added complaints to reduce this to a 1 star: The battery draw is MASSIVE, even on my iPad Mini 2nd gen. There is a bug in the Dungeon of Doom that allows the computer to cast several cards on the first turn; its like they have zero-cost cards. Even if Ive gone first and cast Falling Stars to reduce their magic to zero, they can still play cards on their turn!?!? WTF Plenty of overlapping text items that dont disappear when moving between screens or views. Also, I completed every day of the calendar and never got the bonus - I came back the next day and the new calendar started on day 2???

The game is really fun but either it crashes while loading or it crashes in the middle of a battle or at the end of a battle. Every single time. Guys do something its obviously a very heavy game.

It works fine idiots so stop crying about it

The game is really good, I just got it and its good but so far I found that after every game you crash.

Reported two months ago that my deck is frozen. Followed up five times now with no resolution. Save your $. Its unplayable.

I have found this little annoying bug when I was playing theres this ice bag quest and when Im fighting cpus the ice bag covers up the x so I have to log out to look at other cpu battle plz fix

I cant play at this game after the last update, but before the update it was a great game.

Reminds me a lot of Yu-gi-oh, very addicting and a ton of fun. Would definitely recommend!

Deck wars freezes on turn 2, 75% of the time. I lose my hearts and streak points... Its impossible to play... Still!!!

If your game crashes update your phone to the latest ios 9.1(due to the ios 9 issue where you couldnt connect to game centre) or restart your phone. I play on my iPhone 4s it works but I get some crashes once awhile. Older versions: At first the app kept crashing. But I restarted my iPhone 4s and it stopped crashing but the Fiona and Cake demo doesnt work. Over all some issues needs to be fixed. lt would also be nice to duel my friends :).

I SPENT 30$ on tHIS GAME AND I WANT MY CARDS HEARTS AND LVLS BACK I AM IRATATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPEND 3 TIMES NOW AND I DONT WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE THIS GAME IS A DISASTER BUG

Please fix daily chance. I got way to much hearts then I actually need. Second. Please fix the spin wheel. Even if tap the screen and land of green it still says I missed.
