Eagle-eyed readers and fans of the work of SNK King of Fighters artist "Falcoon" have identified a number of striking similarities between character art from Humble Gaming's upcoming card battle game Arena 9, and character art from other games.
Pocket Gamer: There's a huge dilemma for trading card game designers.
Make it too simple and players will get bored. Make it too complex and not enough players will spend the time learning the system for it to be commercially viable.
Pocket Gamer:
I've been playing CDE Humble Gaming's trading card game Arena 9 since its release, but it's not been reviewed yet as the developers have been tweaking some elements.
The new update brings the freemium game to that state.
Pocket Gamer:
It's taken some time, but finally the in-app purchase element of trading card game Arena 9 has gone live.
The game itself is based around a relatively simple playing system.
Each of the five character cards in your hand has a number (one to nine) on each its four edges. Lay down a card with a higher number adjacent to your opponent's on the 3 by 3 grid and that card turns your colour.
iPad version on the way too.
