Altered TCG Review — We’re Going On An Adventure!

Altered is a fresh trading card game starting behind the more established behemoths in the TCG format. With a gorgeous art style full of diverse magical characters, and fleshed-out lore – it’s a welcoming beginning, but it remains unclear what will actually land for players. Once learned, the gameplay does feel new and rewarding but the emphasis on the print-on-demand side detracts from it’s bright beginning. While the digital integration has much potential, features like the foiler redemption process feel cumbersome, and the lack of traditional foil cards in starter decks and boosters is very disappointing. I am hopeful we’ll see more of Altered given this is a pretty strong start for the TCG but it will take some more time to win players over.
