### 3/5 — Le gros problème

*2026-08-25*

Le jeu est très beau, bravo aux artistes 
Mais malheureusement le système de ranked est vraiment pas bon, je suis en beginner, donc dans le rang le plus bas et je tombe déjà face à des joueurs whales qui dépensent des centaines d’euros pour avoir que des cartes légendaires dans leur deck. 
Donc c’est pas très fun de les voir déposer les meilleurs cartes du jeu à chaque tour :/

### 1/5 — A step backwards

*2026-08-20, version 1.8.11*

This is essentially just a worse version of shadowverse. There are quite literally less cards, and even one less deck type. You are supposed to add things to games not remove them. Why would I want to play a game that literally seems to have less in it than its predecessor?

### 5/5 — 5 out of 5

*2026-08-12, version 1.8.11*

Great game but they need to fix the shuffling system for the opponents there should be no way that the cpu starts off with a great hand while you get the worst one but other than that it’s a great game and experience

### 1/5 — First anni sucked

*2026-08-08, version 1.8.11*

Card game boring as hell while they throw a million cosmetics at you to make cash.

### 3/5 — Disappointed and Sad

*2026-07-29*

I played the OG Shadowverse since the year it came out and experienced all the bugs, the chaos, etc. and that’s not something that bothers me. What bothers me most is that they threw away a beautiful story with beautiful characters and just decided to make the game purely about battle passes and buying things and this sudden socialization thing with Shadowverse Park (something I find unnecessary). They hold your hand throughout every tutorial and battles are just boring if I’m being frank. Nothing is difficult anymore, nothing is creative. I’m still going to play because I really do love Shadowverse as an IP and I want that nostalgia kick, but they’ve got a long way to go if they want to keep any of their original player base, and that’s assuming they care about us. I’m not going to review bomb it because there are parts of it that are genuinely very good, but it would be crazy of me to say I don’t find a lot of problems with it.

### 1/5 — A dumb downed versions of shadowverse

*2026-07-20*

If you played the original you’ll be disappointed in this one, basically there is zero strategy and just meta decks… 9/10 people playing the same deck with the same strategy, the game is all about legendaries now which do too much in a turn, it’s all board wipes each round. Basically you play until round 5 to 10 then using a single card delete all opposing cards, summon 3 warded barrier summons, then super evolve and deal 20 damage to the opposing player winning

Putting any form of creativity in your deck will lose the game as the current balance doesn’t really allow for it as the cards won’t help your legendary

Game plays much faster but is essentially just flipping a coin with pretty colors flashing in front of your eyes

### 1/5 — Horrible cosmetic practices

*2026-07-15, version 1.8.5*

The game itself is f2p. But the cosmetics are predatory FOMO type lootboxes. Summer Eudie and Lilanthum are prime examples, and the Frieren collab was both disgusting. 

They also reused sv1 assets, and sold them as an increased proce too.

### 5/5 — 돈쓰지마셈

*2026-06-30*

돈안쓰고 30팩만에 수영장 라라안셈 뽑음 ㅋ 갓겜임

### 5/5 — 很好

*2026-06-29, version 1.8.0*

非常优秀的博弈游戏

### 1/5 — A disappointment of a follow up

*2026-06-28*

Shadowverse classic was one of my favourite card games ever but this has failed to live up to the original in every aspect. Poor monetisation, uninteresting card designs, slow story roll out. This game feels like an insult to every player of the original game.
