Shards of infinity the latest and greatest . on steam and we are here to showcase to you what it looks like how to play it and some potential strategy you can use in the game this is legendary tactics this . is our first head-to-head game i'm excited let's fire up oh yeah i'm totally . uh yeah this is this has been great i have i'm uh i haven't played a lot of this game but uh i , i came from the star realms venue yes which is in a similar kind of uh idea yeah yeah i've , been gathering i totally agree it's got some nice twists to it like it feels like star realms . with a twist you know and some different ideas so yeah they they they keep the different . sort of factions where you can um uh with color coordinated there so you sort of line that . up that way yeah and uh it's kind of neat that uh from that perspective yeah there's some some nice little actually bonuses i find in this game that uh that star realms doesn't have like a little . more a little more shields you know where you can have like shields in hand that will actually block damage yeah that's kind of a neat one um they also have that uh what it's called but you could basically have like a back a protector in the back yes the champions the champions yeah , that's kind of a neat thing but you can bypass the champions if you want to like they don't they don't protect you like outposts do in star realms um oh you're getting that you loved your focus , i actually i actually forgot my first my first round so that's gonna be that's not the end of the world i i i oh nice shield yeah it's good you know i like the shield mechanic . is kind of neat and uh you know the the mastery mechanic is neat um i now i'm still trying to beat the the hard ai in this and i've i've been able to to win fairly consistently against the heart ai . and star realms oh have you okay oh i guess in star realms okay yeah um the realms i find for . me is a toss-up when i play the hard ai it's it's probably 60 40 me but it's not a slam dunk , oh it's not a slam dunk it's uh but it but i can i can beat it i'm actually um you know i've . learned a lot from watching what the ai does actually it's there's some pretty neat kind of , ideas in there i'll probably cover that in a video upcoming uh because it's uh there's a lot of . neat stuff oh there you go had to burn my champion did you burn him out of there yeah big time out , of there what would you how would you compare that like would you say as far as star realms . versus shards is there one that you prefer or um yeah i i like them both for different reasons um . uh i think that this one is um i don't know it feels like the um it's tough to say because they . all kind of interact but this one feels like you um you have to make sure you're you've got a more , balanced kind of deck like i find that um you can really if if you know the synergies um and how they can all tie together oh my gosh you can do some really cool stuff you know yeah i feel like , there's a little more brain burn to this game yeah so far that's my like first blush and maybe just because i haven't played a lot of shards yet but uh that's yeah first first glance , i'd say you have to there's a there's a bit more on the bone here yes yeah that you , might be right on that um jeez yeah it's i'm definitely thinking though like one one strategy you want to keep to is like definitely staying to a color or one or two . max you don't want to yeah i think yeah this don't spread yourself too thin because i think by , doing that you're gonna weaken your overall deck yes i think that's much more of an issue in i mean , it's it's something that you should do to op like have optimal play in star realms but i don't feel this one i feel punished if i stray outside of my you know colors you know what i mean yeah yeah you're a faction that you're going for yeah it's like yeah it's it's it's something that you do yeah that's right you have to pick two colors and stick with it like i i just picked . up a uh uh an undergrowth a green and i'm like oh shoot maybe i i shouldn't have done that . you know because even though it was a decent card uh maybe i shouldn't have done that and i think that's the reason why they have the mercenary mechanic because it allows you to um , you know basically it allows you to re you know recruit a guy but not keep them in your deck so , if you if you like the the bonus part of it then um actually that speaking of which that are , you talking about that fast recruit option yeah the fast recruit because it doesn't that's a . really really neat mechanic in the game for sure yes but if you want to like take advantage of , someone like let's say there's none of your cut your cards abilities up there and you really really want to you know you know get that guy or whatever it's really just the only buy like so for . example i've got three crystal here um i actually have to recruit this guy um but i would normally choose a mercenary um because then i could um you know just you know get a one-time effect and you know make use of it and then but he doesn't you know dilute anything so i've got i've got a . a wraith in the deck and i'm like oh do i really maybe i shouldn't have got him i should have just . picked up a mercenary and like you yeah see see how you've done that you've just uh the eighth .

ether breaker yeah big time you know yeah i've been doing that a lot more of this game actually , than ever before is the fast recruit yes just go in there burn them fast and uh and move on but now it does kind of you lose that crystal value but um over over the longevity of the game but um yeah yeah if you but if you have nothing else better to spend your money on um you know um see i've gone nine crystal dude that is that's hefty where uh nine crystal you've got n is nine , nine recruiting points no nine mastery oh night master okay okay see this guy i'll fast play because i don't want another undergrowth and that's where i think that that strategy . fits but i think there's synergies between the different you know some of the the cards and it's , it's based in color but i think it's also based in um you know there's also some cross uh things , you can do like across the different uh types of factions you know like you know there'd , be some like you know where you can draw fresh cards and then you get bonuses if you play another . undergrowth ally this turn and you know that kind of thing so right um right right right yeah yeah yeah so it's uh it's a it's it's a very sharp uh platform that i play on though i'm i'm really happy with it oh it's really slick yeah start around it plays really smooth yep star . realms is like this as well but this one seems this one feels zippier for sure and uh yeah it's a , lot of tough calls here because you've really gone in for undergrowth and uh homodeus and your one . oh nicely done oh yeah yeah i knew you'd grab him oh now i get to get him and he's got seven , health too that's pretty good that guy's good i gotta fast play this guy get two more cards play them yeah see see there's combos like that that you can look for and there's another one fast . play ham yep gain another mastery out of the bargain that's good and as your mastery gets up , there i i haven't played too many games where i get up to 30 mastery and then i'm able to you . know no i haven't seen that myself actually yeah 20 yes but 30 i have not uh so we're we're . actually dead locked here right 30 each see this i'm going to fast play that guy get some focus yeah but it's i feel my deck is a bit more diluted than yours and i think you you probably have some . pretty good cards like i i can't beat that uh that general decurian that's that's pretty powerful i gotta get my ah jeez i just have to buy this one banger yeah it seems like so sometimes i , would actually even pass on that yeah well that's what i'm saying like i i think that's kind of the point on something yeah like that i i did buy him but it's like oh it's a one banger purple that , i have no use for otherwise yeah the wreath ally it's like ah yeah like i've kind of built some some wraith cards up here but it's not really um ideal oh a good i can banish a couple cards i , think banishing feels a lot rarer in this game um compared to uh compared to um star realms where , you you know you just focus on the red faction and you can pretty much uh do you know was this game made completely in the mold of star realms because it really feels like there's yeah a lot of overlapping yeah i'm not sure i mean it's definitely inspired by it or it's part it's . part of the same genre for sure um oh you just got the general back again i just killed them off yes . nicely done oh you oh and you're fast playing that guy interesting oh yeah interesting i thought . you'd be i thought you were buying up the uh no he was a he was a green dude oh yeah i know but i thought you were actually going for those no i'm going for the uh like the beiji oh okay faction i really like this crypto fist monk oh yes the crypto fist yeah i've got my mastery's update once you get up to 15 some card abilities really start kicking in but i have a feeling , you're gonna probably start crushing me here you're you're right back up almost . to full health and i'm down to 25. so yeah it's all it's going to be tough i'd be very i'd be curious if there is actually a strategy where you race to get . 15 damage that one was punishing yeah oh boy i wonder if there's a strategy where you race to get to um 30 mastery and uh then you can um so you're at , uh 13 i'm at 14. i gotta kill him off it is uh it's tough to get to 30. i don't see i don't see a lot of games actually going to 30. yeah i'd be very surprised personally but yeah i mean must happen i mean it's it's probably . uh maybe it's more for beginners you know but i don't see that many people i any time i've played against the hard ai and everything it's been pretty much uh you know it's a pretty quick . game you don't get much past 10 mastery you know probably there's people that know our know this game much better watching us right now and they're like oh my gosh you could have ended . it like six turns ago and they're probably right right yeah yeah yeah yeah i got you down to ten i'm getting yeah you're close but for sure again maybe maybe i'm we apolo i apologize to the pros out there that have played this you know many times we're yeah working our way through but yeah . i think i i definitely think you want to stick to one one one faction if you can yeah i think

that's uh you know maybe you know complement it with a with another one um but yeah definitely , you want to uh to stick with one because yeah it's definitely a i think it's the way forward um . right you know but that's where all the mercenary abilities you know where you know where you interact with them i don't know it's it's a smart it's smart game it's really well put , together you know i oh yeah oh yeah for sure i um you gotta start actually you know as this . game starts winding down realizing what you're where your cards are at and what you got to try and do to you get a lot of guys up there i know i did have a lot of only two damage oh boy i know you i think you may have been able to finish me off couldn't you before you know what i think i misplayed yeah it's , okay trust me you're in good shape i'm actually beginning to get uh some decent um vanishing , underway though with getting some good uh some good runs it was all those shields i i i . spent my money crashing you had you had a bunch of shields up that i took out yes i think if i had . if i hadn't wasted my money on those i think i had yeah but yeah then i'm at 20 minutes some reason , i thought i had to take you yes 20 mastery is not anything to sneeze at really um but yeah what do i buy here uh if i fast play this guy oh um i guess i'll buy him amadeus champion , there's another one of my one of my dudes i need that's good yes it may not matter at this point no well it depends on how much damage you uh you get yeah you're not quite at 20 . mastery which is where uh general jakurian really uh oh only one damage oh man oh no i'm getting a little bit nervous here to be honest , with you yeah i may have destroyed him for free and why is that the green faction is one , faction i actually really enjoy playing they're they're kind of a neat which faction is that the the green one yeah oh no greens are undergrowth ally there yeah they're cool yeah undergrowth ally they're very good uh well fast play this dude . sure we'll grab him for once and destroy that champion you're up to 20 health again i know my gosh i know it's i battled back a , bit from the brink here but you just need one big turn and you can crush me yeah well let's hope that . happens no let's hope it doesn't yeah but you've you've that's the one the undergrowth is really good about for healing that's a really good way to you know sorry 13 . shield teen shield yeah that's holy that's the power of the uh of the uh the blues as they've got a lot of shields and that's that's the main faction i was focused on and now they've kind of run dry in my i've had to go in other directions oh my gosh and now you're . actually starting to like creep up on me you know what . i've i've kind of got some uh i've gotten all my crappy cards out of the uh , mix now so oh now you're into this it's only good cards now in my yeah my mix so i don't know . may come back here we'll see i'm a little anxious because my next hand is not very strong so you see i'm only picking up great great cards more or less i still have a few crystals kicking around but but if i if my shields hold up or whatever then there's some good potential and you're . only eight uh hit points ahead of me now so minus one that now oh man this could be bad yeah we'll have to see here this could be a bad turn oh boy all right seven 11 damage not good oh this . kind of makes it interesting i'm at 30 mastery you've hit it i have i just did it all i need is . that card and i do infinite damage just as we were talking about hey this never never happened . so i know all i need is that card now oh boy this is looking pretty bad this could be , really bad you heal up as much as you like and you're ways away from it too oh man i'm surprised actually i did not think that i would be uh 25 18. i've just stalled i've just stalled , yeah you were you were really just dominating i i i hearkened back to about four turns ago . where i just i think i misplayed yeah maybe yeah and that uh maybe i mean it's tough to . tough to say i guess i'll take him yeah oh there it is the infinity shark infinity damage oh well done yeah well hey that's cool we actually got to get that into action and play and it's so , funny because he said oh you know that'll never happen but i saw there was a fast recruit blue card there it says gain five mastery i'm like no way all right grab it five masters and and that boosted me to 30 and then it was just a matter of time until the uh the infinity shard turned up so well hey well done yeah well done great game that was good yeah thanks very much , and hope uh our viewers enjoyed watching it too yes indeed you got to see the uh infinity blast happen so that's good absolutely so thank you so much for watching and . please like and subscribe all the usual stuff and we will see you next time . this has been legendary tactics
