Mixing competent RTS gameplay with the appeal of a CCG, BattleForge provides a new take on both genres. While you can get away without spending any extra money on additional cards, those who do will get the most out of the game. Understandably, it's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but for those who do take the plunge will find a fun, responsive hybrid game with a lot to offer. Even more so for those who enjoy the competitive side of things.
Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
