Munchkin - A Quick Game Review

Munchkin is a strategy card battle mobile game with lots of gaming modes and varieties of cards. I was quite shocked to see a lot of different cards that were shuffled into my deck that usually never repeated. And to my surprise and amazement, all cards were very strategical in nature and would be very powerful if played correctly at correct time! I found the game to be very challenging as well due to a lot of factors in the game like 5 card limit, player assist, card trade, player intervention and so much more! Honestly, I had never experienced such an advanced card game before.

In the gameplay, first you will be dealt a handful of cards and you will have to use the usable cards. You can equip some and you can carry some. You can equip gear type cards to provide you the stats boost. You can use the class/race cards to be of certain race like being dwarf or warrior or both.

Equipment are sensitive to the race of the character. Now these complicated and interlinked card system got my eyes wide open with excitement right away! There are various technical ways on how you can use your cards to be on advantageous side. And when you are done with managing your cards, then you game starts against other players who are definitely not going to go easy on you as they are opportunistic and they will backstab you whenever they get chance!

In the battle, you can defeat an enemy easily who has lesser strength points than you and you will get beaten by the enemy with higher strength. So the battle logic is very simple that is solely based on the strength of a party.  You can use various tactical cards to make the battle on your favor even if you are at an disadvantage. If you don't have proper cards then you can even ask for help from other players to aid you in the battle! But you will have to offer them your treasures and cards in return! WOW! Isn't that amazing? This complicated player to player interaction in the game gave me a great thrill and excitement as you can even work together with other player (who is supposed to be your competitor enemy) to stay in the game and possibly win the game in long run!

On the other hand, I was quite surprised to see that you can even backstab your competitors by empowering the enemy with your cards at hand which gives extra stats boost to the enemy. When a player dies, that player will lose all of his/her cards and the cards will be given away to the surviving players like a loot from a dead body! So we have to know when to butt in as an helper or backstabber to make our path clear to our victory! Backstabbing may sound reasonable but helping your competitor player can award you will lots of amazing cards and treasures as well. Anyways, a player who reaches to level 10 first will win the game.

Overall, I found this game to be profound, intricate and thrilling. I highly recommend you guys tor try this game out! Yes, it does cost $9.99 USD but I think its totally worth it! You can even play this game with other online players to try your skills out! You can even play against AI in different settings and in various modes! What I really loved is the detailed tutorial for starters in this game where every kind of tactics are clearly illustrated in the game! Try it out!
