So a few days ago I decided to spend some time and join the Battle Forge Open Beta for the PC. This game blends collectible card games like Magic the Gathering and RTS PC games like Command and Conquer. If you want to stop reading my article and start downloading the beta(it WILL take a while), CLICK HERE. You will need an EA account to play so get one before you do this or you will just have to go back and do it.
Getting back to the article... The game allows the player to choose a 20 card deck of any number of different types of cards from different factions. These currently are Nature, Shadow, Fire, and Frost. All of the factions have great cards and even your starter deck cards are good for most situations. The best part of the game that makes it very different from most RTS games. The population cap is very large and with only a small amount of management your power wells(which give you points to summon units) make it easy for anyone to build a descent army.
You can play against the computer in PVE mode or another player in PVP mode. Additionally in PVE you are able to play with/against four other people online. This is pretty awesome and fun.
There seems to be a large amount of international support for this title everyone from folks in Brazil to people in Germany seem to be excited over this title. With the lackluster amount of marketing that has been done on this game you might not have realized that this game comes out later this month.
Nothing I say will completely convince you to try Battle Forge. but I don't have to convince you. Head over to the site and play the game for free while you can. Then if you REALLY like it; go a head and pre-order it.
