Blizzard have not always been on top in the online gaming world but when they are called up the always are sure to dominate the opposition. RTS became the rage so Blizzard created the world famous Warcraft and Sancraft. When Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) started to become massively popular, Blizzard created the brilliantly amazing MMORPG, World of Warcraft.
Free-to-play games are becoming launched around the world Blizzard finally announced their first attempt to fully jump in to the thick of it.
Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft by Blizzard is now an online collectible card game which will eventually come to iPads, PCs and Macs.
The 3D presentation of Hearthstone is very animated, with plenty of icons, animations, and imagery bringing the tabletop game to life. It also appears to move quickly -- Blizzard demonstrated a 1v1 duel with a shoutcaster commentating on the events, strategy, card types, and effects of each card. Blizzard created a new team of 15 developers, and describes them as fast and experimental. It was conceived to cook up different styles of games, smaller scale but in line with the "epic Blizard" style.
Card crafting allows players to consolidate duplicate cards of various types. This feeds into the deck-building system, which is as automatic or micro-management heavy as you desire. You'll build your deck around your class, such as a rogue, both in terms of the kinds of skills and buffs you bring into battle, and the class-specific cards you're able to use. A medal ranking system categorizes duelists by skill, similar to Starcraft II. Hearthstone is coming to PC and Mac in addition to iPad, which will release later, though feature and networking parity remains to be seen. The current goal is to release Hearthstone in the same territories World of Warcraft is currently available.
