5/29/2023 0 Comments The duelyst spritesDuelyst has a deck size of 40 cards with a max of three copies of any card, including legendaries. That means you find 'rare' cards much more often than in most CCGs, but the flip side is you’ll need more of them. Each orb has five cards, one of which is guaranteed to be a rare or higher, while epics show up roughly once in every two orbs, and legendaries once in every four. More often than not, completing all of these only took a little over an hour and left me with enough gold for a Spirit Orb-Duelyst’s version of a pack of cards. For those with more money than time, you can also purchase Spirit Orbs with cold, hard cash, but I never felt behind the curve for not doing so.Ĭards come in four rarities: common, rare, epic, and legendary. You get gold for every two wins, bonus gold for your first win each day, and two daily quests that ask you to play four games as a certain faction, deal 40 damage in a game, or other things like that. Putting the C in CCGīuilding a collection in Duelyst is less daunting than in its competitors, as rarer cards have frequent drop rates and the game practically shovels gold at you. The Vetruvian faction builds structures that create temporary units at the start of each turn. ![]() Duelyst goes down a quieter, more cerebral path, and it works, just at the cost of exciting stories to tell my friends. It’s strange complaining about a lack of RNG given how often Hearthstone’s community whines about its prevalence, but after playing Duelyst I can understand why Blizzard chose the path it did: big, tweetable turns. There’s nothing like Hearthstone’s new legendary Yogg-Saron in Duelyst which, depending on who you talk to, could be a good thing or a bad thing. The cards are creative and unique, but also relatively straightforward. It’s not that every match plays out the same-far from it, as the decision-tree for any given match can branch wildly outward-but that there isn’t much opportunity for big unexpected plays. Short match times (8-10 minutes) and more consistent draws mean there’s little room for surprise. Still, despite that extra level of depth, I found myself occasionally missing the big “wow” moments I’ve come to expect from tense matches in games like Hearthstone or League of Legends. Falling behind on the board can be hard to come back from if you get surrounded, and the replace mechanic lets you draw into answers faster. This allows decks to be significantly more consistent, which is important to making Duelyst feel like a tactics game in addition to a card game. ![]() Once a turn, you can mulligan a card from your hand to draw a different one. This type of project is made possible via open source, albeit it is unclear whether Dream Sloth obtained a separate licence from Counterplay to create it.Another great change from the CCG formula is Duelyst’s 'Replace' mechanic. ![]() With ambitions to add to and modify the game, Duelyst 2, created by a different business named Dream Sloth Games, is essentially a re-release of the original Duelyst. If you saw the news a few weeks ago that Duelyst 2 is now available on Steam, that may add to the confusion. You might use the Duelyst sprite art into your own game or create something altogether new on top of the current codebase. Since the project is distributed under a Creative Commons Zero licence, both private and commercial use of all the components is permitted. Despite the fact that the actual repository was made available via GitHub a few months ago, Counterplay Games announced the change in this video. The code and artwork are both now accessible as open source and are free to use in other projects.īefore finally shutting down permanently back in 2020, it appears as though Duelyst spent some time trying to develop a successful business model.
