From today, Marvel snap is giving away an awesome new Storm variant, put together a very pretty animated music video with music by Martin Garrix and JVKE, and paired it with a new in-game event called Hype the hero. It’s a pity that everything wasn’t implemented more clearly, but we’ve got your back.
Let’s put the video in right now. I have no idea who Garrix and JVKE are, besides being bad at spelling, but it’s great animation and has a lot of it snap‘s variant art in a really nice way. (Although, you know, drink every time you see a maid trope.)
The idea is that if you fight it, you’ll collect “records” as you create “HYPE” on a special screen, which in turn unlocks rewards. But you have to register via a link buried in the app. The game also doesn’t really tell you when you win those discs at the end of battles, or when you have enough to unlock rewards, and then, um, you can now also pay an extra $30 for… next to nothing?
What a fun old mess, and one with bad timing, given There is already a feeling of boredom after the honeymoon all about the excellent Card Battler. The good news here is that you can now grab some really nice variant art for one of the best cards in the game, Storm. To do this, open the game and either scroll through the main panel slides to “JOIN THE SHOW: HERO” and then click “Join Web Event”; or you can go to the news, scroll down to the very buried “Hype the Hero!” entry and tap on it.
When this is done, you will now earn records when you earn dice. Dice are the items that you “gamble” with when playing a round. snap, and as a base you get a record for a cube. However, each week for this labyrinthine event, playing certain cards in your deck doubles the number of records won. This week it’s Gambit and Rogue, which I don’t have in any of my decks, which sucks.

If you’re missing both, you can always pick them up at the new IAP! A purchase of just $30 gets you a variant of each, two very boring avatars of the same, all for a paltry 1,500 credits. To put this in context, buying 1,500 credits directly would cost you 1,200 gold, and you can buy 1,450 gold for $20. Even ignoring the fact that the game gives you armfuls of credits, and you can easy Get 1,500 in a day just by playing the game for free, that still kind of costs $10 for four jpegs that don’t make a significant difference to the game. Well, we clearly live in a world where People pay millions for JPEGs because we live in the worst timeline, but still this is the way it is awful.
Anyway, the new Storm map is free and way better than anything in the store, so grab it now. And then, hell, there’s free gold and credits to play exactly the way you wanted anyway: you just have to remember to claim them yourself, as the game isn’t for you.
