Editor's Review

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Waven, Ankama's attempt to blend tactical RPG with collectible card games. Think Wakfu (their previous mega-hit) had a baby with Hearthstone, but that baby was raised by a bunch of adorable, yet surprisingly strategic, hamsters. You control your hero on a small, hexagonal battlefield, slinging spells and whacking enemies with weapons and companions. The core gameplay loop involves building a deck of spells and equipment, which are your bread and butter for dealing damage, applying buffs, or messing with enemy positions. Each character has their own unique abilities and stats that influence how they play, so experimenting with different heroes is a must. Combat is turn-based, and positioning is KEY. Seriously, flanking and backstabbing make a huge difference, so don't just blindly rush in. You'll be collecting new spells and gear as you progress, constantly tweaking your deck to find the perfect synergy. And yeah, there's a gacha element to acquiring better gear, so prepare for some grinding... or, you know, opening your wallet if you're feeling particularly impatient (no judgement!). It's surprisingly deep and strategic, once you get past the initial learning curve.

Now, let's talk about what makes Waven actually worth your time, besides the promise of endless grind for that *perfect* legendary weapon. First off, the art style is undeniably charming. It's classic Ankama, all vibrant colors, quirky character designs, and beautifully animated spells. Even when you're getting utterly stomped by a particularly nasty boss, at least you're getting stomped in style. Secondly, the character customization is surprisingly robust. You can really build your hero to suit your preferred playstyle, whether you're a glass cannon mage, a tanky bruiser, or a sneaky rogue. The different islands you visit are varied and interesting, each with their own unique challenges and enemies. Plus, the multiplayer aspect is pretty solid. Teaming up with friends (or random strangers) to tackle dungeons is a blast, and the asynchronous PvP is a fun way to test your deckbuilding skills against other players. The community seems pretty chill so far, too – mostly people geeking out about their builds and helping each other out with tips. And finally, it’s free-to-play done relatively well. You CAN spend money, but you absolutely don't HAVE to. You can enjoy the game perfectly well without ever touching your credit card, which is a major win in my book.

So, who is Waven for, and is it worth your time? Well, if you're a fan of tactical RPGs, card games, or just anything with a cute, cartoony aesthetic, then Waven is definitely worth checking out. It’s especially good if you liked Wakfu or Dofus and are looking for a similar vibe but with a slightly different gameplay loop. However, if you're easily turned off by grinding, or if you absolutely hate gacha mechanics, then you might want to approach with caution. It's not *overly* grindy, but it's definitely there. Overall, Waven is a surprisingly addictive and engaging game. It's got its flaws, sure (cough gacha cough), but the core gameplay is solid, the art style is gorgeous, and the community is welcoming. Give it a try! You might just find your next free-to-play obsession. Just try not to rage too hard when you pull another useless common spell. We’ve all been there. Good luck and have fun!
