[Hearthstone] Theorystone: What if Blizzard made an RPG Mode?
Blizzard makes many Solo Adventures, but I always wondered if they would outdo themselves. Maybe add a card editor/level editor, but that wouldn't make sense because then literally everyone could just make their own expansions (and they can't sell us stuff then). But what about pre-determined scenarios. Well, I made a "Choose your own Path" adventure video on a scenario like that (except blizzard could expand it to a massive level). Last thing I thought of was, RPG. Could you make Hearthstone into a Card based RPG (not like WoW but based off WoW [I actually don't know anything about the WoW universe]). Well, today, I made a little demo of some ideas of what a Warcraft game would like like in Hearthstone Form.
"Game Play Showed"
The ideas were to allow to purchase certain cards (better ones and high rarities cost more). Furthermore, you can upgrade them for a high cost. You can purchase upgrades to increase your starting max mana, total max health, and starting card amount.
The first scenes show the "New Game" mode and how you would start. The second part (second save file) shows what the game may look like in the mid//late game. The first encounter was resulted at a lower HP Valeera at 30/100 Health and then found a healing beacon to fight the boss (going back up to 100). Other things could also be implemented. Unfortunately, the game is only a fan theory, and doesn't actually exist and only looks like this due to video editing.
Additional Thoughts:
This video took a lot longer than I thought. I knew video editing would be a thing, but editing every single health point and reverting custom cards was a little more challenging than I thought (Final Boss, "Charge" and "Warsong Commander"). I also thought the battle system would take as long, but was still interesting to watch. The video editing probably took extra long just because it was lagging so much from the looping I did on the edits.
Thanks for Watching!
What do you guys think? Should Blizzard make a Card version of an RPG? Or naw, just an actual RPG? I think it would have a lot of potential, especially since they could add upgrades to cards like: Choose one - (+1 Spell Damage // +1/+1 stats // -1 Mana Cost). And special upgrades like unnerfed Warsong Commander, ect. Additionally, with 9 classes, there would be good replayability as well.
