- Bloons Card Storm requires a lot more strategy than I’ve seen in many other games in the franchise.
- In Bloons Card Storm. you can form a deck and play against other players online.
- Complete quests to unlock new cards and various rewards.
As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must confess that I’ve seen my fair share of games. However, Bloons Card Storm has managed to surprise me with its strategic depth and CCG mechanics. Having defended countless towers against hordes of Bloons in the original series, it’s a delight to switch gears and play monkey versus monkey instead.
Following the conquest of bases and annihilation of countless foes, it’s now time to shift focus towards fellow players for an exciting head-to-head competition – monkey vs monkey (no pun necessary). In this round, you will engage in combat using the Yu-Gi-Oh! method, which involves a classic deck of cards and a variety of spells that complement one another.
A perfect fit with the other games in the franchise
In
Bloons TD 6
, you could defend your base against all sorts of unique Bloons that would swarm the sky – in Bloons Card Storm, the Bloons are still a thing, except now you can use them against other players.
If any game possessed all the necessary features to transform into a Collectible Card Game, it would undeniably be Bloons. The monkeys serve as the hero cards, each with distinct abilities and attack styles, while the different colors of Bloons function as primary weapons. Unique occurrences, if we can even call them that, act as spell cards in Bloons Card Storm, providing all the elements one might anticipate.
A lot of strategy and planning
In this game, a lot of strategising and planning will be involved. First, all the monkeys you know and love (like Quincy, Gwendolin, and Obyn Greenfoot) will act as the main
hero
of your deck. Based on their unique powers, you can form a deck, picking cards that have good synergy with each other and with the hero skills.
In this assortment, you have the option to choose several types of Bloons such as MOAB, Ceramic Bloon, BFB, Double Rainbow Bloon, and ZOMG, among others. Each one costs a different amount of Gold, so it’s essential to create a well-balanced deck to emerge victorious in every battle.
But the Bloons are only the first line of defence – there is also an arsenal of monkeys tasked with destroying the enemy Bloons and keeping your hero alive, which also requires some planning.
Each Monkey Card essentially serves a role similar to a Tower in Bloons TD 6. You’re allowed to field as many as five Monkey Cards, each with unique abilities. Some of these cards function like simple farms, producing Gold, while others can summon Bloons or enhance the team’s performance.
In terms of gameplay, Bloons Card Storm is what you might expect from a CCG. Of course, it looks different from Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra, but it is a CCG alright. The main goal is to defeat your opponent by destroying their hero (meaning it has to reach 0 HP).
The heroes in Bloons Card Storm are the same as in every other Bloons game, and they each have unique skills that can have good synergy with specific cards. When you build a deck, you can go about it two ways: you can either consider which cards you want to play and then pick a hero based on that, or pick the hero you want to play, and then fit some cards that can go well with it.
Essentially, you should start with a few affordable options, and later, aim for some high-impact, costlier ones if you’re planning to emerge victorious in any conflict.
Surprisingly complex for how it looks
Since Bloons Card Storm is set in the Bloons universe, the visuals follow suit. It doesn’t have some fancy animations taken out of a Pixar movie, but rather simpler, 2D and 3D animations that are similar to the other games in the franchise.
Although the graphics might seem basic, the gameplay is surprisingly intricate. It appears straightforward at first glance, but the strategies required are nothing short of extraordinary. The AI opponents are relentless, and if you’re not fully committed each time, you could find yourself defeated, even in tutorial sessions.
Although it may appear adorable at first glance, this game is actually a deep and strategic turn-based experience that demands careful planning. It’s an absolute joy for fans of card games, and for those particularly fond of the Bloons series, it offers even more delight.
