  Collectible card games thrive over time due to additional content and this is long enough that I have to at least wonder what the future of Faeria is meant to be. Combining some fascinating mechanics I've never seen in a card game with a lot of variety, there's plenty to recommend Faeria.

  Faeria is packed with content without coming across bloated. It’s complex without ever feeling confusing or intimidating. Most importantly though it’s a fun and exciting time combining card and board game mechanics wonderfully.

  While Faeria’s base game offers a solid experience, we can’t help but feel that it’s an incomplete game. If you really want to get stuck in, you’ll eventually have to buy the expansions and be prepared that players on other platforms are years ahead of you. We would’ve preferred to see a “‘complete edition” package at a slightly higher price to mitigate the disadvantage Switch players start with, or at least the possibility for existing players to use their accounts from other platforms.

  Faeria is a thoroughly enjoyable strategic card battler that’s consistently fun to play. This multifaceted game feels like one you can play for the next few years and not get weary of it.

  Of the card games we've enjoyed on Switch, Faeria is easily the highlight of the bunch so far, and it deserves to do well. It's a full-featured package and stands out as an excellent card/board/strategy experience. If you want to play a fantasy card game on Switch, buy this one first.

  8.5

  From its singular mixture of card game and board game mechanics, to its wide variety of game modes and content (including online co-op, a real treat for a game in this genre), to its consumer-friendly progression system that eschews microtransactions, Faeria is attempting to stake out a special place in the pantheon of digital card games, and despite a handful of technical flaws it absolutely succeeds.
