Not sure what the problem is and I highly doubt every single card I own is a banned card,not to mention even if they were you’re telling me I can’t even use them in a practice match!? Nah this is garbage don’t get this stupid game ### 3/5 — Perfect! Except One Thing… *2024-09-03, version 4.6.1* The card game itself is amazing. I almost quit Yugioh over this. But, the problem sprouts from the fact I have more than one account. Each account has different decks, so if I want to play a certain deck I may need to switch accounts, but if you make too many attempts to switch accounts, it blocks that feature for a full hour, which is something Master Duel from Yugioh doesn’t do. I get why they did this, to stop people from logging into accounts that aren’t theirs, but I don’t see why making successful switches blocks you too. If they changed this, the game would literally be perfect. ### 3/5 — Unbalanced and everyone use same decks *2024-07-05, version 4.6.0* Fun game , lot potential but some decks are overly used…. Definitely the spell deck taking turn after turn … need to limited to one ### 2/5 — Are you even trying *2024-06-23* You need to actually redo portalcraft description or atleast follow it with the cards you make rn it’s like a natural deck without the benefits ### 3/5 — Pas de bouton pour les codes ?! *2024-03-13* Merci de corriger le problème d’interface en français car il n’y a pas de bouton pour utiliser les codes promo ! ce n’est pas normal ### 4/5 — Please add a global chat to make friends :( *2024-02-03, version 4.4.10* This game is very good! Only reason I gave 4 stars was not because it’s bad but it lacks a communication system. I wish this game had a chat :( ### 4/5 — Bon jeu mais… *2023-12-23* Excellent jeu qui a presque tout pour lui : des graphismes sympas, un bon narratif, plein de variétés de styles de jeu… Cependant les chargements sont trop longs. Et une bonne connexion internet, la fibre et ethernet n’y feront rien : j’ai désinstallé l’application car les mises à jour qui ne se font pas ne me permettent plus d’y jouer. ### 3/5 — Good *2023-12-17, version 4.3.32* But not very ### 3/5 — Getting silly *2023-10-24, version 4.3.10* I played a long time ago and invested a lot into nice cards and decks (those cards are long lost because years ago the devs wouldn’t/couldn’t let me re-access my now-lost account). I just redownloaded to get back into it and my old school ways are not much of a match against the new sets. The new cards are too powerful and it’s not fun watching the ai opponent do 50 things in one turn. The game is turning ridiculous. By the way, i’ll never get over the cards/decks that I lost a long time ago. ### 1/5 — Fan service, slow and annoying story line. *2023-09-12* Another game I won’t play because the dev can’t help but sexualise their Characters…On top of the that the story mode is hard and very annoying with many unskipable dialogues. ### 2/5 — Even with free cards can’t recommend. *2023-08-29, version 4.2.20* I’m going straight to the point if your not going to spend money on this game do not even play it. Even with 50 free card packs that’s right 50 packs it never feels like you can build anything worth really playing! I’ve used guides and played several different times on separate devices and I am being sincere IF YOU DON’T PAY YOU CAN’T PLAY, the alternative is an incredibly long slog to get what you need just to be good enough to play against other people that do. Just warning you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not fun and to fast paced now *2026-03-24, version 4.6.2* Played this game a few years back when it was fun. Came back and not fun at all. Even with some experience playing these type of games before, it's so fast paced now and very unfriendly to new players, there are just so many unexpected ways to lose. The daily missions don't even give rupees anymore which was how you were able to farm packs before. Game is not free to play friendly anymore. Seems like the game went downhill compared to when i 1st played it. Also, takes 15-20 minutes to get a match. Looks like the game is dead now. ### 1/5 — Not fun and to fast paced now *2026-03-04, version 4.6.2* Played this game a few years back when it was fun. Came back and not fun at all. Even with some experience playing these type of games before, it's so fast paced now and very unfriendly to new players, there are just so many unexpected ways to lose. The daily missions don't even give rupees anymore which was how you were able to farm packs before. Game is not free to play friendly anymore. Seems like the game went downhill compared to when i 1st played it. ### 1/5 — predatory tactics *2025-08-18, version 4.6.1* be smart, fold and do something actually fun ### 1/5 — Data wants to take 3 hours to Download *2025-01-01, version 4.6.1* Constantly having to reconnect during the download too. Gave up. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — TOS and Support IS HORRIBLE *2024-10-22* To get started, as a long time supporter of this game I’m highly disappointed. Where do I even start? In the TOS, usually I skim through and check it off. Nah don’t do that for this game, since one of the TOS policies state that the account that’s set up by the user doesn’t belong to the user. It belongs to the game and that the account is just a way the user can access the game. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. For two when you’re someone like me who has lost an old account and wonder if they can recover it. They require you delete your current one in order for them to start their “investigation” to find your old account. The catch? If they can’t verify that you’re the owner of said account they won’t be able to recover your game data. So not only do you not get your old account back but now the current one you deleted for them to start searching for your old one is now gone too. Not to mention that if you’re someone like me who doesn’t have much detail to give them when searching for said old account it’s even more frightening to hear such a careless policy. DO NOT BY ANY MEANS GET THIS GAME ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2024-09-29, version 4.6.1* After returning to check out the game. I am very disappointed. They stopped giving a decent starter pack. Which hurts the new player bad. They are forcing you to pay to play which shouldn’t be like that. I’m deleting the game and I suggest no one download the game. ### 1/5 — No goblins *2024-03-29, version 4.5.0* I loved this game when I was smaller, but all I wanted to do was make a viable goblin deck. Now I redownload the game years later to do just that and to find that: “Nope can’t do it” I’ve no real motivation to play this anymore ### 1/5 — Без доната никуда *2024-03-09* Абсолютно не сбалансированная игра, нацеленная на ваш кошелек. Это не голословное заявление — я 20 лет играю в МТГ, hs с беты и рунтерру. Искал что—то новенькое… Начнем с того, что чтобы собрать вменяемую колоду нужны ресурсы, которых по умолчанию дают крохи. Далее — ежедневные миссии. Они требуют побед в рейтинговых играх, где после звания новичка уже на Д0 ожидают противники с метовыми деками и кучей легендарок. Замкнутый круг, в общем. А жаль — сделана игра не плохо и начало было интригующим. ### 1/5 — Xtrawdktra 2179 *2024-03-09, version 4.4.30* I’m a dragon human MRI and I am always being a grandma heart try thanks go to matter what people Trece mean zing the guys Roger fusion Contac, using call dad Eugene Condad avengers, or a new friends are waiting for us at the jungle guy, a planet candy bar friend way I wanna use that new ebrandon Noushad new fusion new idea I can’t now and skeleton horse died ### 1/5 — Rage of bahamut better in my opinion. *2024-02-19* I don’t know why they decided to close down the Rage of bahamut game years before this game came out. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please keep it up *2026-07-10, version 4.7.0* I absolutely love it, especially when I’ve been playing in a few days and I just really like it and it’s fun to play so I am sad that it is no longer running, but I hope it will be opened back up in the future ### 5/5 — Best Orchestra concert ever *2025-11-01, version 4.6.2* I love this orchestra concert on Anime Expo. ### 5/5 — Under appreciated game; Worth giving it a shot *2025-06-13, version 4.6.1* A GOOD ENTRY AND MAINSTAY FOR CARD GAME ENTHUSIASTS/PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN GETTING INTO CARD GAMES Has good balance with how the meta is. Different playstyles for anyone who dives in. Great overall story, with lots of easy ways to make currency. Art style is amazing with voice acting to boot!! Definitely a game that has surpassed the timespan of most mobile games Anyone before me who left a review, giving it a 1 ⭐️, are people who either had the impatience to let the entire game download or are unwilling to read the text in front of them to figure out why “said problem” is happening ### 5/5 — SIMPLESMENTE HISTÓRIA! *2025-06-01* SHADOWVERSE, VOCÊ FEZ HISTÓRIA! ### 5/5 — Completely addicted *2024-10-26* I have played enough of this game that I can essentially build campaign decks from collection. Story is interesting with Iceschillendrig an Belphomet arcs paving the way 10/10 VA’s deserve bonus. Easy 7/10 for me other arcs. Great villains and deck building options, expect cheese everywhere though. Speaking of 🧀, devs, please fix crystal cannon. It bugs out if the enemy has creatures out on the field and you are able to multi-proc Crystal Cannon to hit the creatures but then animation glitch the remaining procs. 🙏🏼🫡 PvP is fun would recommend taking on the grind. Early tiers people genuinely experiment and a lot of the games swing because honestly, gamers be creative. Once you break into mid tiers by gods the 🧀 strats. You either get lucky or 🧀 to victory. The few times you come across a true equal though? My god the vibes of that battle. 9/10 for varying builds keeping it fresh. Magecraft and their spell that gives another turn lost y’all us a point. Too many of y’all around. Overall Pretty Freakin Fun if you like card games that challenge you. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2024-01-06, version 4.4.0* I am a dragon main 🇻🇳 ### 5/5 — Great game! *2023-12-05, version 4.3.30* To be honest, I first got here from the Shadowverse anime like some recent ones, but definitely did not disappoint! There are a lot of cards and the starter gifts are very generous, allowing 10 card pulls for each existing set+more! The mechanics of each class is very unique and interesting, plus for rotation the deck always changes so you don't really get bored. And next, the story is really good! I highly recommend this game! (Do the first chapter first so u can experiment with all the card classes and find the one you like!) -Forestcraft player, out! ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2023-09-30* I used to play this game when it came out it had fair bit of bugs but it was fun then I lost my account because I wiped my IPad with out making a backup my bad. Then I came back to this game recently and it still as fun and enjoyable I love the story voice actors and art design, also the story is interesting it self. I recommend to everyone who has patience but the game is way better to confirm no bugs when I load the game and also the doesn’t close my game so yea love. This game very much hope it keeps on going forever. The developers should be proud of this game ### 5/5 — This is a really good game *2023-08-17, version 4.2.20* I like how there are different leaders for different cards ### 5/5 — Portuguese brazilian support *2023-04-28* We need pt-br language ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
