So much so that my head is still spinning from trying to pick and choose which awesome features to include in this article. HEX: Shards of Fate looks to be an incredibly massive experience, and as such, there’s a ton of information to take in. On the back of each card, you’ll find three different achievements, such as “Deal 50 damage to opposing champion” or “Generate 100 copies of Pack Raptor,” that when completed, will transform your card into an “extended art” version and allow you to completely change up your strategy in the middle of a game. But for me, the coolest feature of the game lies in the transformation of your deck cards. The TCG features are just as extensive, with over 350 total cards in the first set alone, and some seriously awesome character abilities with names like Master Beast Rider and Claw of the Mountain God. The MMORPG aspects of HEX will include fully customizable champions across 6 classes and 8 different races, as well as millions of gear-based combos and strategies to collect and special bonuses will be awarded for equipping all three equipment pieces in a given set. From the fluid animations when a card is turned over, to the meticulous details in the card illustrations, there is some serious shine in here for a game that’s still so far from being finished. And I have to hand it to Cryptozoic: looking at the gameplay footage in that Kickstarter video, HEX is easily the most polished and prettiest TCG digital interface I’ve probably ever seen.

I’m not sure what this original storyline is about yet, but judging from the first released screenshots and concept art of stone-faced ogres and tomahawk-wielding tiger warriors, something tells me it’s going to be a good one.

In the game, players will find themselves unlocking new cards and treasures while developing their character in the throes of a compelling and completely original story.

From the official Kickstarter page: “ HEX combines community and storytelling aspects of an MMORPG with the collectable and strategic gameplay of a TCG.” The game has secretly been in development over the last two years by Cryptozoic Entertainment, whose past accolades include the hugely popular World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Hold onto your Booster Packs, Trading Card Game fans, because boy have we got the game for you! HEX: Shards of Fate is being touted as the first “real” MMO/Trading Card Game hybrid, and a “completely new gaming experience” in full.
