## What is Legends of Runeterra?

A LEAGUE OF LEGENDS™ ROGUELITE ADVENTURE
Runeterra calls! Choose your champion and pick your path to power: a single-player roguelite romp through the world of League of Legends and Arcane, or a ranked card battler where strategy reigns supreme. Unlock and level up dozens of characters in a hand-crafted love letter to fans of hero collectors and card games alike. 

THE STORY SO FAR
From the back alleys of Zaun to celestial Mt. Targon, forces small and large threaten to forever shift the balance of power—if not unravel the world itself! Star-forging dragon Aurelion Sol plots his cataclysmic revenge, while Lissandra, an even greater menace, lurks in the frozen north.

Only champions of Runeterra can follow the path that has been set—alone or as one—with YOU at the helm.

CHOOSE YOUR CHAMPION
Play as Jinx, Warwick, Caitlyn, Vi, Ambessa, or any of a growing cast of 65+ champions. The many legends of League are yours to collect, evolve, and master as you traverse the map of Runeterra.

Each champion brings unique, awe-inspiring powers and loyal followers to the fray. Whether you freeze your opponents where they stand (Ashe), plant fungal surprises for sneaky victories (Teemo), build an elaborate combo engine for a spectacular finish (Heimerdinger), no two champions play the same.

ADAPT & EVOLVE 
Every run is a canvas for your creativity, offering new cards, powers, and relics to augment your strategy and topple menacing foes. But choose wisely! Challenges increase in difficulty over the course of a run, and from one World Adventure to the next.

Each champion can be upgraded with Star Powers—permanent augments you can unlock between runs. Completing a champion’s Constellation yields immense power—and all new strategies—for you to command.

TOPPLE MIGHTY FOES
Test your mettle against iconic villains in World Adventures and Weekly Nightmares that set the stage for your spectacular displays of strategy and skill.

Beating the odds against the likes of Lissandra and Aurelion Sol will take experimentation, ingenuity, and maybe a touch of luck. Of course, the tougher the opponent, the sweeter the victory—and the richer the rewards!

UNCOVER NEW LEGENDS
Delve into the deep lore and rich, ever-expanding universe treasured by players of League of Legends and fans of the Emmy-winning series Arcane. With exclusive characters, story-driven adventures, breathtaking card art, and a staggering cast of new and familiar faces, there’s no better way to experience the breadth and depth of Runeterra.

### 3/5 — Game died

*2026-08-21, version 7.8*

I liked the game it was great for lore when it came out but now it’s no longer supported and the lore team has become so bad after arcane season 2that I can’t even be base invested in league of legends itself it’s a decent past time but I don’t spent the whale money I use too in this or base league after the baffling changes and decisions and I specifically season 2 cause 1 was great

### 3/5 — Miss the game

*2026-08-20, version 7.8*

Used to be such an incredible game. Unfortunately it’s kind of abandon ware now.

### 5/5 — ReviveRuneterra

*2026-08-19, version 7.8*

Still the best card game I’ve ever played. #ReviveRuneterra

### 5/5 — fine but

*2026-08-15, version 7.8*

stop having level up animation when hp is at 0

### 5/5 — Best single player card game I’ve ever played.

*2026-08-13, version 7.8*

This is without a doubt the best single player digital card game that I have ever played. I have played many others, but none quite satisfy the way LoR:PoC does. For one, the world is fantastic and the art is gorgeous. I am so glad you can zoom in on just the art and take it all in. I’ve done that for literally every card in the game. Gameplay wise, the bot isn’t the most clever, but the game devs are. The advantages they give the bot are fun and engaging and challenging. The ability to unlock champions and grow them with both the leveling progression and the constellation progression is fantastic. I feel like I am always moving forward, never just stuck on a dull minded grind. The free rewards are the most well distributed and generous I have ever seen in a game, and the paid rewards have always been worth the money to me. Definitely give this game a try, especially if you are looking for a single player card game. This one is worth your time.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-02, version 7.7*

This is the best card game I’ve ever played!

### 1/5 — so sad

*2026-07-29, version 7.7*

this game had potential but it takes forever to level up. pvp is trash and by that i mean a hot mess. there is no way a new player should be going against a master player. delete. uninstall. sucks i wasted time on this

### 1/5 — Mess of a Trash Game

*2026-07-27, version 7.7*

Dont waste your time or money. Its grossly imbalanced, they have zero clue what they are doing. Its just trash...way too many animations and video to cover up the garbage mechanics and imbalance

### 5/5 — Visual thing

*2026-07-24*

The spell icons for burst and focus spells in deck editor and when inspecting opponents deck looks like fast spell’s. Please update them

### 2/5 — Could be so good

*2026-07-21, version 7.7*

If you’re looking for the best PvP card based RPG, this is it. If you’re looking for the best single player card based RPG, this is also it. This is better than hearthstone. This is better than marvel snap. This game is incredible. 

BUT. It is a trainwreck to play. It can’t connect to servers half the time. You’ll constantly face infinite loading screens. You’ll have to hard restart the game, renavigate the menus, sit through a couple loading screens, select a mission, and then you’ll probably get another infinite load. Then you’ll do it all over again. If you’re lucky, you will actually be able to play a match about 1 out of every 3 times. 

It’s really a shame that Epic has pulled support for this game. It could be the best.
