I have been with this game for over a year and a half now (joined at rage of bahamut) at first like many players I got destroyed, but I started to get the feel of it as I played more and more. The game itself is very fun and gives you a huge range of cards and architectures to try! I've noticed that as the time progressed and new card expansions released that many cards are now broken. Usually they are fixed quite quickly but now things such as reanimate plague ranked matches and are pretty much instant death. Other balancing issues stem from the fact that most of the new card expansions release weaker cards that rage of bahamut and the older expansions, making the top decks very expensive. At the time you could buy one legendary and decimate the board but now you may need to buy 3 of à legends for the same effectiveness ( likes of protobahamut). Over all I love this game and would recommend it to any card game players out their! Just be ready to dedicate some time in order to get used to the mechanics. Now my account has been deleted and I can't claim it back so pls helpIt’s been 3 months and customer service refuses to talk to me which really annoys me as I spent money on this game and now I can’t get my account back

Shadowverse honestly doesn’t get as much praise as it really should, the amount of cards, options, strategies, and outcomes is amazing to me. I’ve looked for a game that visually looks amazing (except a few attack animations that can be touched upon) and feels true to a card strategy to me, I honestly made a new account on my phone maybe a month and a half ago? And I have enough cards to make quite a few decks deemed as tier 1 or at least 2, they give away so much packs and allow me to never feel I need to pay for cards, thanks shadowverse and I can honestly say I’m as excited as can be for the future(2018)You guys have done it I swear, this expansion brought every bit of the old magic in a new light and man it’s amazing, still as generous as can be and now even more fun, keep this new mentality, new ways to play, unique cards that can help others and supply their own, thanks Cygames, keep up the amazing work

For a game that's been out for over a year, I find it surprising that the matchups in PvP and PvC (story mode) is so unbalanced. After doing mission 8 in the story mode, it is difficult to win with the default deck. I feel that I should mention that the game gives you a a bit of free packs to work with. However, even with a few gold and legendary cards now if your deck, your chances of winning isn't much better. I decided the logical step would then be to try out PvP. I got thoroughly destroyed. I can tell that the opponent has collected many, many cards and played an equal amount of games from the cards rarity and synergy. Despite having a great draw, in my opinion, I was unable to keep anything on the field for more than the turn they were played. At this point, I called it quits. Aside from the matchup, I find the game's interface to be cluttered, having too many buttons and tabs on the screen at once, as well as redundant, requiring the player to pass through several loading screens. The story is very generic and the translation (I'm playing with Japanese voice acting and English subtitles) is inaccurate at best. As for the "evolve" feature, I feel that it gives the second player too much of an advantage. On top of having one extra use, the second player can "evolve" cards one turn earlier. Coupled with having an extra card drawn at turn one, it's pretty much a curse for me to go first.

So I have to admit the gameplay itself is just not balanced... like at all. From matching you up to someone your same rank. Some deck themes have heavy advantages over others. To the fact that some cards are practically invincible if player. It has some pros. I have drawn legendary cards without spending insane amounts of money. They give plenty of free packs and content to help everyone have a chance to have fun, and its not so much a pay to win Kinda game. But if you plan on doing any pvp prepare to just never win or have fun. I’ve played since the beginning because I loved rage of Bahamut so much. I redoenload this game because the artstyle lives on and it’s beautiful. All pvp types of games like this run into balancing issues. And honestly, if you just stick to computer battles or don’t mind the fact that your pvps will be just extremely unfair you will enjoy the game. Hahaha and honestly I just enjoy collecting and reading the cards and playing the story. But anytime I even think of pvp it takes 3 matches to remind me how unfair the system is. I’m giving one star because honestly at this point they should have balancing solved out a bit more. But other than that like I said. It’s honestly a gorgeous and well made game. Just not fun to play competitively at the moment or with the way things are going in the forseeable future.
