IV Studio is back with another ambitious deck-building experience — Honor’s End. ⚔️ In this cooperative adventure, players build powerful decks, battle escalating enemies, and unlock new content through episodic campaigns. But does it capture the same spark that made Moonrakers a modern classic — or is it trying to be something entirely new?
In this video, I share my first impressions after several plays of Honor’s End, breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and whether IV Studio has truly evolved their signature deck-building formula.
🎯 Here’s What You’ll Learn:
✔️ How Honor’s End plays and what makes it different from Moonrakers
✔️ The cooperative mechanics and dual-use card system
✔️ What I liked — and what didn’t quite click yet
✔️ Balance concerns, pacing, and replayability
✔️ My honest thoughts after multiple playthroughs
