Featuring iconic characters from the Magic The Gathering universe, Spellslingers is a brand new game with unique gameplay that will offer a pretty different card battle experience.
Today, Wizards of the Coast officially unveiled the soft launch of Spellslingers, a new spin-off from the Magic The Gathering franchise on PC and mobile. This new Magic The Gathering entry is still a card-based PvP game, but with quite a different set of rules compared to what you have experienced in the Magic The Gathering Arena.
Spellslingers introduces a hero-based deck system, where unlocking every new character, known as Spellslinger, will result in your access to 30 new cards based on the abilities of the unlocked Spellslinger.
Currently, the game features 16 playable Spellslingers across all platforms, but it’s yet to be seen whether it would be expanded in the future to more heroes or not.
The overall gameplay experience is much similar to Blizzard’s Hearthstone, which makes it a familiar game for veteran Hearthstone fans, but with the aesthetics of a Magic The Gathering title. That being said, you are going to face many challenges to find the deck that will suit your playstyle best.
Aside from its PvP game mode which is the core of Spellslingers, the game also features a Team section, where players can either form or join a team to share resources and decks, or trade cards for getting the necessary materials to build new cards. This already sounds like the Clan feature in Clash Royale, but there won’t be any team-based battles in Spellslingers.
Keep in mind that Spellslingers was already available for a limited amount of players, but today’s soft launch brings a polished version of the game with full content for the players on all platforms. You can download it for free from App Store, Google Play, or Steam.
You already have a long road ahead to grind for unlocking all the playable Spellslingers. So, if you feel like this is the game you are going to play for a long time, it’s better to start now!
