PVZ Heroes: The PVZ... Card Game? (Review)

Ah yes, PVZ Heroes. You know, setting my bias aside, I actually really like the idea of Heroes. A Hearthstone-esc clone for a franchise like this might seem strange at first, but it can surprisingly work out really well! With that being said though, did PopCap do the idea justice, or did the game fall like the rest of them in recent years? Well, let's find out!

Also, I took some footage from @ArcadeGo to make this video, and I did a few 1v1s with @Dr.Shock12 to get some specific footage too! (Guess who won those? Hint: NOT ME.)

PvZH's actual gameplay is one of the most genuinely interesting card games I've played, having an asymmetrical multiplayer card game is an idea I've never seen before and in actual combat it does that super great. It's a shame how dog the progression is because I could've seen this game getting real big if it wasn't so hostile to new players.

Note: I'm pretty sure you used to get cards for playing the adventure and there's no exclusive cards as the crafting system... exists!

[Badatgamezdot]

Obscure pvz heroes trivia (atleast i think its a little obscure): Red stinger was added for the games for RED event on IOS, along with an exclusive mission where you play as rose with red stinger in your deck (which is out of class)

[solarknight]

To tell you how complex this game is, he didn’t even go into detail about how the combat cycles from left to right, meaning cards in the left-most lane can actually be stronger due to dealing damage first and potentially winning a game before all the rest of the opponent’s cards can attack. Yeah. Brugh. Too much.

[TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

The main reason why I remember that this game exists is thanks to Fry Em Up. The game is quite good on paper, but it just needed a little antra love to make it stand with the other PvZ greats.

[snakesmartyt]

Crazy how the last reference to the original Nightcap outside his debut game is a costume for Fume Shroom in PvZ2 and even then the shooter games Nightcap has been added to the game

[BlastMagic]

what captivates me to this game so much is how I keep thinking I've found the best deck in the game, and yet it always has some unexpected weakness. and yet, over time, I do feel like I'm making progress, and becoming a better player. the dream is that some day I'll enter a tournament and get 1st

[nadroji]

I was worried that your bias would influence your decisions on whether the game was good or not (something that happens a little too often IMO) & I appreciate that you can admit that you don't like the game, but that doesn't make it bad. Overall this was a pretty fair & comprehensive review, sp, great job!

11:21 same reason why unsupported shooter games are being played. Player with player interaction is unpredictable so you always get something new

[mrminemachine]

To me heroes is my second favorite in the franchies but to me falls flat as a pancake that they didnt make a physical game for it, it could have been great

[Call_Me_Cuda]

You have summoned the FryEmUp community.

[bluesailor]

Finally! Someone who doesn’t look at a game that doesn’t appeal to them and go “This game does not target me specifically, therefore it’s bad”
Thank you.

Plants vs. Zombies Heroes is a really amazing game. Flawed in too many aspects but still amazing

[POOTIS]

I always like randomly playing pvz heroes when I’m bored💀

[marwahchannel]

I'm not really big fan of pvz heroes (and never played it)But I'M OBSESSED with Professer Brainstorm.I really like his design

[rulerofasgard]

A weird thing I found out is that in the first mission set against chompzilla she has a wild berry in her deck which is (unless conjured) impossible.

[themario]

Hey @SylviaYSI, the reason that your opponent at about 13:33 had such cards at that time was because 1: Season resets also reset your arena level, while also giving you many packs. And 2: Event cards which you can get 1-2 of each week in the event mode (Frankentaur and Garg throwing imp are both event cards)

[TheONLYFeli]

Also, as a PvZ Heroes fan, this game is not a pay2win grindfest. You just have to.. actually be good at card games to have fun in the early game. Complete the quests, and you can easily get enough gems to buy packs to get cards. You can easily get legendary cards.

no wonder solar flare has kabloom she makes my pants explode

[teal]

I enjoy this game ALOT, mainly how the artstyle is great and that the entire premise of plants and zombies as heroes is in itself awesome, but what i hate is the absolute abysmal card balancing, there are moments where i don't even know how i lost only that they had a card that transforms other card on the field into a gargantuar 😭
