Marvel Snap’s Friendly Battles set a new bar for its post-launch support Marvel Snap road map reveals new competitive mode, token shop rework Marvel Snap is available now for Android, iOS, and PC. Even if you don’t typically play CCGs or mobile games, it’s a must-play that’s only gotten better in the year since its closed beta began. It’s consistently fun to play, and it has all of the proper progression systems to keep me playing for a year and not feeling like I’m getting bored grinding. It fully takes advantage of a great IP to create a CCG with a sense of familiarity as soon as you boot it up. It’s no secret that Marvel Snap is a good game, but for me, it’s one of the first mobile games I’ve genuinely fallen in love with. Plus, Marvel Snap‘s near-weekly updates and the addition of new modes keep giving me more reasons to come back. Recent Token Shop reworks have also made getting new cards easier than ever. I’ve also played enough where it’s only the high-end Series 4 and 5 cards I’m still obtaining. I’d rather earn cards at a slower pace for free than be required to spend real money for a random chance to get a card I want. The slow drip-feed of obtaining cards in Marvel Snap has been a contentious point for the game through the year I’ve played it, but it’s honestly not been much of an issue for me. The objectives are all achievable enough for those with good knowledge of the game’s systems and they reward ample credits so you typically can upgrade a card or move up a tier in the battle pass within a day. Daily and seasonal challenges exist to keep players coming back and they refresh often enough that it’s usually worth booting up Marvel Snap a couple of times a day whenever I have a break. The $100 offers in the store are eye-raising, but I don’t feel punished for not spending.Īnd unlike many mobile games, Marvel Snap’s progression is fair and engaging. Good cards also aren’t usually locked behind paywalls, but that’s not to say Marvel Snap’s microtransactions are perfect. This game also allows me to play with weirder, obscure characters - like Hell Cow, Orka, Aero, Darkhawk, or The Infinaut - that are extremely unlikely to ever appear in a more traditional video game. As a die-hard comics fan, though, I get excited each time I earn a new character in Marvel Snap. While I casually enjoy the worlds franchises like Warcraft and League of Legends occupy, I am less familiar with them than the Marvel Universe, and thus less excited when I pull a creature that I know nothing about. There’s also the fact that I have an inherent familiarity with the cards I use. Additionally, the number of recognizable characters turned in the cards encourages me to experiment with and use them. Even when certain decks dominate the high-level metagame, that doesn’t mean other types of decks aren’t viable. Neither are issues for me in Marvel Snap. ![]() discard-focused deck, a Collector/Devil Dinosaur one where the goal is to get as many cards into my hand as possible, and most recently, a High Evolutionary/Hazmat setup that unlocks the secret abilities of some cards and greatly debuffs the enemy.Īfter a while in Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra, I’d feel limited in the decks I could build and the viable enough strategies I could use. As developer Second Dinner continued to introduce new cards, I started to experiment with different types of decks, like a Morbius/M.O.D.O.K. ![]() For quite a long time, I was using a Patriot and Mystique deck that powered up cards with no abilities. That’s even the case if you’re using the same deck for a while. They can be fun, frustrating, and even funny. Couple that with all the potential deck builds that can be played and possible locations that can spawn during a game, and each Marvel Snap match feels very different from one another. This makes rounds enthralling across all six turns and quick enough that I never play only one battle when I boot Marvel Snap up. It’s much faster-paced than most card games, as it’s only six turns and both people in a match play cards at the same time. Marvel Snap has been praised a lot, especially after it saw a wider release in October 2022, and everything said about it is true.
