Hearthstone can be played on Microsoft Windows, OS X, iPad, iPhone and Android the audience for hearthstone is 7+ however because the game is created by the same company who created World of Warcraft, hearthstone makes references to World of Warcraft that fans of the series may enjoy which gives them a different audience that they could reach out to. Hearthstone at the moment is a single player game but with semi-regular updates a Multiplayer mode is something the company have said is a possible idea to reach out into. Hearthstone is a very strategy based game where players start at rank 25 and have to endure consecutive fights where each win will grant you a ‘star’ and a certain number of stars are required to move onto the next rank, as the higher up the ranks you go the more stars are needed to reach the next rank and also Hearthstone is a very heavy PVP game as the loser of the game will lose a star and in some cases lose ranks making the grind to rank 1 intense.
