- Gather card packs to make use of in strategic battles
- Uncover absolutely voiced narratives for every character
- Mingle with different battlers in Shadowverse Park
Card battlers are proper up there in my favorite genres of all time alongside roguelikes and narrative RPGs, so though I’ve completely no thought about Shadowverse’s lore, I do not want any convincing relating to giving Worlds Past a go.
The attractive visuals, flashy animations, and funky character designs are all very welcome, however truthfully, simply the truth that it is a CCG is sufficient to lure me in.
As anticipated, it is all very a lot Hearthstone-esque, not solely with the mechanics but in addition with the format of the battles. I completely beloved Blizzard’s flagship CCG, so I’ve no issues diving proper into Shadowverse’s counterparts – however what makes this one much more fascinating is that there is a actually deep (and absolutely voiced) narrative to uncover right here, particularly for the reason that characters are all so apparently designed.
It is nearly a criminal offense to say that the cardboard battles aren’t the primary focus right here, as a result of it’s also possible to simply wander round Shadowverse Park if you wish to – a social hub the place you may mingle with different gamers and gather goodies from limited-time occasions.
You have obtained a cute little avatar you may customise and a beautiful room you may spruce up too, which all provides to the distinct flavour of this isekai universe.
After all, the battles themselves are extraordinarily strategic, which I merely reside for in these kind of matches. The Evolution mechanic, particularly, allows you to increase your Minions – erm, Followers – with additional stats; plus, they’ll assault when deployed in the identical flip to provide the higher hand in opposition to your foe.
Card packs are nonetheless, as anticipated, principally gacha pulls, however the characters and lessons – and their backstories – are all so fascinating that it is simply so darn troublesome to withstand wanting to gather all of them.
All of it simply feels extremely polished, and with all the results jazzing up each card and each transfer, successful is immensely satisfying – should you can handle to drag the deck you need, that’s.
Shadowverse: Worlds Past is offered to obtain free of charge on iOS and Android, with in-app purchases you may select to spend money on should you’re curious.
