Even with years of development and refinement from Google and a market share that dwarfs that of Apple, Android gamers are often left waiting for months after their iOS brethren. For those looking for a different take on the card battling genre popularised by Blizzard’s Hearthstone, Earthcore: Shattered Elements has brought that wait to an end, releasing on Android today after half a year of iOS exclusivity, and boast cross-platform play to boot.
Jim took a look at the iOS version of the game a month or so ago, concluding:
At this moment in time, Earthcore is definitely my preferred virtual card game. Hearthstone may have the existing lore yet its gameplay is largely derivative of pre-existing TCGs such as Magic: The Gathering. There may be an initial learning curve to overcome, though, in the grand scheme of things, Earthcore is actually very approachable and doesn’t require a laborious amount of deck-building. If you have an iOS device and Hearthstone wasn’t your cup of tea then definitely give this a try.
I’m sure that you amend the final sentence to include Android…
