Where do I start best? First of all the material. The figures, which are indeed form the most central part really very, very nicely decorated and of good quality. The accompanying maps also. That's it then but also already. The rest of the material is under all sow. The markers are very poorly punched so that they can hardly be separated out without major mistakes. The individual parts of the boxes do not fit together and could only with much trouble, plenty of glue and etlichem rework ever be assembled. The game board is folded wrong and is not flat on the table. Such poor quality I've never seen from Pegasus. That's really steep for the price.
The game in itself is quite entertaining. The rules are well explained and learned after a few games. Also tactically, the game offers a lot. And then again the "but". But the figures ... Krosmaster thrives so that you collect figures. This is similar to Magic, Pokemon, Yu Gi-Oh and the rest of them. The figures come out in series and are different rare and correspondingly powerful. So if you want a particular figure I buy blinds and receives a random or need long deeper into their pockets on ebay. The problem then is that apart from the official store or dealer must be truly trustworthy. For what but Magic is hardly possible yet been made here is a light: it is balanced. The packages are weighed and because the characters are all different weigh a lot and this is clearly seen, can often quickly determine what is in the package. Many dealers will send vertickt expensive in the blinds then only the Commons during the Rare figures on Ebay. Really just to buy Help is a very expensive complete blister or buy from a dealer of his confidence. Collecting new figures moving with the times but quite well into the money, because after 10th
Other extensions, such as. Frigost, bringing with new fixtures and figures, which again seems quite reasonable but if the quality is not so underground, as here in the base game.
The online portal is .... at best, confusing. Korsmaster seems to rely on a lot of background information, which is then distributed to various websites. So all I have not looked through a complete novice there. I have indeed managed after some searching finally enter the product code but more than an indication that you have the basic figures I do not get. To start an online game, it seems to me that you have to buy (for real money) yet virtual characters. After all, but the basic rules are quite well explained in a tutorial.
Conclusion:
As a standalone game Krosmaster Arena is good, but nothing special and I would rate it with a maximum of 3 stars. The quality is largely just too bad and so badly much variety you do not get offered. That is to the game but not because he actual core and especially charm lies in collecting the figures and because it could show off properly. But unfortunately caution before shady dealers and it's also very fast right into the money. The online part is unclear and could not convince me.
Who can inspire the world of Krosmaster, knows a trusted dealer, enough money would be stuck in and the poor quality of the other components anything turns, which can take a look. Although I found the concept quite well and would have liked to play it on, the many negative points have deterred me. Very bad!
