The core mechanic in SolForge is leveling. Whenever you play a card, that card levels up into a new, more powerful version. As the game progresses, you level up, and gain access to your more powerful higher level cards. Some cards start off weak and level up into powerhouses, while others start off strong and don't improve much as they level, presenting strategic and tactical choices that will challenge even the most seasoned gaming veterans.
With hundreds of cards that each transform as you play, SolForge is a game unlike any other. Try it free today!

Dead game, doesn't work anymore, won't connect to servers.
I have had an account since the early release days. I played often for a long time. The mechanics and cards make this game a blast to play. But mistakes were made and the game mostly died. The thing that made me quit was when everything was converted into costing gold. I used to use silver to buy event tickets and sometimes splurge on a legendary chest when I was feeling impulsive. Then the cost of boosters went from 5000 silver per pack to 7500 and everything else had to use gold(which can only be acquired by paying money for it). That pretty much did it for me. The greed was real. I paid $20 for this game while it was still an early release game. The only uses that silver has now is buying the solforge booster pack, buying deckslots, and forging cards. I really like this game but can't recommend it. It still has the issues of a few people paying to be at the top while the grinders are left losing early and often to these superior bought decks. I guess that I'm in the middle of the road. It is a good game but has many flaws.
A pay to win game that loads slowly if it desides to load at all. I remember how much fun it was to play during Beta when we had to pay for a beta ticket. The new single player campaign is fun like the early days but was too short.
This is my favorit CCG. Easy to pick up, but the winning curve is steep. Nothing else like it out there with leveling cards. Great depth in card combo and mixing factions. It makes other CCG's seem juvenile... and its FREE! If you have a sensitive ego, you will be crushed - You WILL lose ALOT! The campaign will take you through various playing styles, and how the factions fair. If you get discouraged, maybe knowing that I lost over 20 - 30 times before finding a suitable deck to beat some of the mid - late levels. Daily quests, draft, and packs are given quite generously. You can easily rack up 10+ packs in a couple days. Drafts are awesome since you keep the cards (to a point). The battle mechanics are what makes this game - engaging, evolving, and dynamic.

Review:
F2P CCG with somewhat unique rules, utilizing 5 board lanes, forced combat, evolving cards, player level-ups, turn-replacing hands, indefinite deck reshuffling; along with couple interesting card mechanics. Conflux setting here is a mix of faeries, robots, mages, tanks, zombies, drones, dinosaurs, nano technologies, elementals, protomans, mechs, demigods etc., all divided into 4 factions by interests, without neutrals.
Deckbuilding: 30 decksize / 3 copies / 1-2 factions; no other limits and no resourses.
Draft system, constructed tournaments, "Weekend Warrior" tournaments with new rules every week. Competitive ladder and casual mode. Timed and untimed turn queues. Pass-and-play mode, to play with ur friend on 1 device. And even "asynchronous turn-based" mode, reminiscent of ancient play-by-email games, when both players do their turns independently (though, sequentially) whenever they come online. And.. "Play Random Deck" button, dammit seriously, how often do you see it in card games, think about it?? :D
Half of the features above were unreasonably cut on later stages. Or reasonably; does it matter though?.. (find me reason to cut "Play Random Deck" function btw)
SolForge spent in beta ridiculously huge period of time - playable state was around 2012 afaik, so 4 years after kickstarter finished, at least. (If this isn't obvious hint, than what?..)
Card art is wonderful and 300% deserves permanent place on my harddrive. Looks very professional, especially among hoards of these Hearthstone-wannabes. To remind, conflux arts require separate talents, at the very least 1 for each setting. All creatures here are drawn in 3 evolution levels (or 4, if OP :D), like your pokemons, normal->Cooler->SUPERCOOL. Girls are hot, undead are sadistic, mechs are heavy, giants are brutal, etc.
It will be remembered by me personally as a card game with most generous business model ever seen. For long time they were giving 2 boosters + currency + tickets EVERY day - just for playing couple games vs AI. After huge game rework, daily boosters were reduced to 1 (with small chance of getting 10) and AI games were no longer counted, but still. I heard veterans talking about tournament rewards being overgenerous as well. The fact should speak for itself: without giving a penny or actually playing ANYTHING except dailies, ever - my collection as of today contains: playsets of everything except last 2 rarities | 5/7 expansions with playsets of penultimate rarity | at least 1 of each ultimate rarity, 2/3 of them are playsets or 2 of. In the game with 7 sets and ~770 cards of 4 rarities total. I don't have a single alt art card for bragging though, for reason above (most aa don't even look cool though -.-). Regularly (once in couple monthes), a special version of draft mode was made available - 'Guaranteed Legendary Draft': with entry fee of 7 tickets you were given 1 booster full of legendaries to choose from. And a booster as a compensation prize at the end as usual :D. With 3 tickets given as daily rewards, it sounds like 1 free ultimate rarity card in ~2 days.. and not even random, you could choose it like in marketplace :D. No wonder people were hoarding tons of tickets just for this event. Huge business model mistake, if you ask me.
Another reason for remembering - the record amount of boosters I opened at once - 1111. Not in one sit, accumulated amount was opened in 3 days with pauses. Could be little more, but yeah, for the cool number. And anyway I don't think I will ever reach that number in any other game, physical or digital. Total amount of SolForge boosters was ~1500, plus couple "Legendary Chests" - big boosters with guaranteed ultimate + penultimate rarities inside.
And the last reason, I will remember it as a game I used to continuously collect, and never got to actually play it, even once. Except for campaign and AI skirmishes =D
SolForge is OPD as of today, January 31, 2017.
..and... Nope! Good Guys at Grinding Gear Games ('Path Of Exile' developers) heard about the tragedy and saved the day by willing to maintain server costs! The game is still playable and some standout fans with the lead of 'kaelari' took development in their hands now. Wishing them best.

Great game design, horrible client. Delayed releasing the new client for about half a year, then came out with a client that didn't work, only fixing it to be a bad client that does somewhat work a week after their release.
Making daily quests only doable against real opponents also made it virtually impossible for newer players to complete their dailies. If you're very patient and don't mind grinding for years, there is a good game hidden underneath all these problems, but I can't recommend this.
I've played this game lots and lots. Put some money it is. Very worthwhile all that time.
Well, until the update / overhaul happened.
I played the PC version and iOS version.
And both are so down graded visually, but also the UI.
There are a few improvements that are good (timer etc).
But overall, they just killed the game for me.
SolForge was my favorite CCG. Then they updated it into an ugly mess. The store page says "battle against the computer" but they removed rewards from ai battles. I have a large collection and used to love playing Random decks vs ai, but random is no longer an option. Gameplay feels slow and clunky due to the new ui. A great core game that is weighed down by terrible design choices.
Unplayable since the update. If the servers don't stabilize by the week's end, I'll be quitting. I feel sorry for those starting Solforge without having played the beta. Awesome beta, simple yet gave you everything you wanted in a CCG. Just look at the hours I've spent in this game. But the new update has destroyed the game and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the player base gave up on the game.
design wise, a better online ccg than even hearthstone. though it's not perfect, i find it rewards good play more than hearthstone does (AKA less RNG causing wins/losses).
implementation wise it needs a retooling of the store and probably a few more play modes. (it currently has a single player campaign, pvp casual, and limited and constructed tournaments.)
I do log in frequently and find myself designing decks in my mind when away from the computer- always a good sign for a card game!
Quick simple and fast paced. You can build decks and play an AI that has reasonable skill. SolForge has a depth that can really only be directed by the player. You can play with a simple deck or delve into a hidden depth with the deck-builder. I like SolForge because its a fun TcG that doesn't need to overwhelm the player to be enjoyed but offers the option of engrossing the player in creating custom decks and strategies. I can speak from experience when I say that earning new cards without investing lots of money like a tabletop TcG is another great feature. I try not to compare SolForge with games like MtG because it's not and it doesn't try to be and I can enjoy it equally.
I didn't like the Tier four cards they added, they are very unbalanced and ruined what was a decent casual TCG.
Great card game, I like the fusion between deck-building/ Strategy Card game... but no trading means it is not a TCG (Trading Card Game). Interface has a lot of bugs, apart from that cool game and will hook you for a while.
Given a string of recent changes, I can once again recommend this game. It is still borders on pay to win, but you can grind out the cards needed to play in the competative enviroment. My only mechanics complaint is the sheer reliance on RNGesus. If you hit level 2 or level 3 and you are unlucky enough to not draw your leveled cards... chances are you just lost.
It's a good concept and would be a lot of fun, but it's pay to win. The heroic and legendary cards completely overwelm the other cards by a drastic amount. Even after months of rewards you won't be able to compete with someone who paid. In ranked play decks may be filled with over half of these types of cards. If you have a decent amount of money to throw at it then get it, but if you're just a casual gamer then it will cause you a great amount of anti-fun.
I really enjoy this FTP card game. The daily rewards give more than enough cards for now, and its nice to open packs every day without having to shell out real cash. I have gotten multiple legendary cards without having to buy a single pack. The game is very simple to learn, but there are a good amount of subtle strategy the more time a person invests.
SolForge is another entry into the recently-full group of Collectible Card Games, but it takes a fresh and unique approach to the otherwise-tired genre. Gone are the typical Magic:the Gathering clone features -- it removes the single card draw at the start of the turn, the 60 card deck slot, and even the concept of a graveyard. Instead, you get an incredibly deep, strategic system that demands you plan ahead, but flexibly (since RNG is still going to determine which cards you see).
The most interesting part of the game is also its core: the cards you play level up each time you play them, to a maximum of level 3. Each time you level a card, it gets more powerful, sometimes exponentially so. But what makes this more strategic is that every 4 turns you reshuffle your played or discarded cards back into your deck. Since you draw 5 cards a turn, you're seeing 2/3 of your 30-card deck every 4 turns. It adds an insane level of consistency to your draws, if you plan accordingly.
All in all, it's a game that's got a lot more depth than your typical CCG, and it is entirely Free-to-Play if you're willing to take a beating at first. (It takes about a month to really build the card pool based on the current daily rewards, but they're working to improve that too.) Definitely worth looking into!
It hurts how much I wanted to like this game, and in my first few hours it was very novel and fun. At this point I just log on to do some dailies and log off without ever versing a human player. And some days I don't even bother with that. Sadly the developers just aren't putting out updates and balance fixes at a quick enough rate. A shame, Ascension was a lot of fun, and proves they have the know-how to make this work...
Perhaps a year from now the game will be worth revisiting, but for now I have a hard time recommending this to anyone.
SolForge is an interesting take on the digital card genre. It's a fairly simplistic card game, but with a suprising amount of depth / theorycrafting to your decks once you've unlocked some cards. It has the unique aspect of your cards levelling up as you play them; adding a depth of strategy that other card games haven't really explored. Not only do you have to think about what card to play right now, in order to damage your opponent, or save yourself from damage, but you also have to think about the future - and which cards you'll want then and how your deck will evolve compared to their deck.
The starter decks are playable, but I would strongly advise you to buy some packs (you can use silver which you can get from logging on daily and from winning matches) and get a custom deck going. You will get your ass kicked taking your cheap/free decks into PvP, but you can win your silver rewards playing against the AI - which is beatable on all difficulties with the starter decks, although the higher difficulties will be a challenge. If you do use real money to purchase packs, you will have a higher chance of getting the best cards, ultimately people should remember that card games are about spending money and RNG, but overall this is very playable as a free player too.
One of the big advantages of this game right now to me is that the Ipad app is extremely fluid and responsive. You can play untimed games with friends and the push notifications are accurate - meaning if you have a lazy day with 5 minutes to spare here and there, you can have a good duel with your friend from anywhere. (Untimed) games save despite the application being shut down; and you can start a game on the ipad and continue it on the PC, or have the game running in two locations at once if you so desire. A lot of digital card games right now have promised this sort of cross platform interactivity, but few have competently provided it yet. The android app is sadly not out yet so I can't comment on that - but they have said there'll be one in the future.
I'm pretty happy with it overall and would recommend.
Whenever it goes free-to-play, try it. From what I can gather, it's like Magic: The Gathering you can play without sitting in a hot room filled with sweaty people.
Edit: It was a good start at first, but then it started to get overwhelming.
The concept was good, the balance was acceptable, and it was just fun to spend a few hours to play it. Simple and effective.
But you look away for one day and suddenly: Boom! Another expansion or more cards show up and you just can't catch up with the power creep and you just give up.
That's what it feels like to me, anyway.
First of all, I should say I really like the way this game plays. The rules and cards are interesting and unique.
However, I would not recommend it for most. The only players left are running around with the same 3 netdecks. Without a huge amount of money or time, you have no chance. With a huge amount of money or time, you're stuck using one of those 3 netdecks to compete.
There is a ranking system, however the player base is so small that it doesn't really seem to find matches based on anything.
I really enjoyed this game when it first came out, but then I couldn't keep up and got tired of getting stomped by the same decks with 70% legendary cards.
Bottom Line: This game isn't friendly to new players, and is slowly losing old players. It's a shame.
