Donc c’est pas très fun de les voir déposer les meilleurs cartes du jeu à chaque tour :/ ### 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. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-06-26, version 1.7.20* This game is fine but I think it’s doing too much. Can we please just have Rage of Bahamut back please? ### 4/5 — Not bad *2026-06-01, version 1.7.10* This game is fine but I think it’s doing too much. Can we please just have Rage of Bahamut back please? ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-05-04, version 1.7.1* Worst game ever opponents decks are so over powered they basically have one shots most of your units and refill their side by one card combo? This card app is pay to win. To be honest it’s like the AI is cheating so hard in this game. ### 4/5 — Fix immediately *2026-05-03, version 1.7.1* The game consistently cheats for the cpu by never shuffling their deck but will give you the worst hand ever. Fix this bs ### 1/5 — Imagine your fighting same deck forever *2026-04-15, version 1.6.15* Card game is supposed to be creative. Every person try different strategies, different combinations of cards, and different types of winning. These are what should be ideal card game. But Shadowverse… it’s not. Every people are playing exact same decks. Same legendary, same deck, and same types of players. At first you try your best to beat them. But then in order to win, you have to copy the deck that you read from online, and conform to the norms. If this is the type of game you wanna play, go ahead. It costs your soul Also, what is the point of making new card pack when deck that you don’t use it is much better? Class has some issues. ### 1/5 — Nicht spielbar! *2026-04-07* Läss sich leider nicht spielen, hänge im Startbildschirm. ### 1/5 — Yeah… No. *2026-04-07, version 1.6.10* The game blatantly cheats on harder solo modes. They will never be handless and you’ll always have an empty field. Just net deck ### 1/5 — Too greedy *2026-03-29* This game so greed I can’t take just one deck , can’t play another… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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? ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — 게임 가챠 *2026-06-27* 진짜 불쾌하다는 한만디로 밖에 표현할수가없음...이게임하지마셈 폐암걸림... ### 1/5 — 垃圾遊戲 *2026-06-20, version 1.7.20* 動不動就斷線 不然就是卡死 工程師是香蕉請的是不是 爛到沒有媽的垃圾遊戲 倒一倒 ### 1/5 — New player can’t play *2026-06-05* The rank system is hideous, I am new I don’t have basic decks to compete with anyone, didn’t win once I’m beginner rank ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2026-05-17, version 1.7.3* I sometimes do daily games against my friends and this game literally crashes at least once per match, usually during the mulligan. It is so annoying. ### 1/5 — crashing *2026-05-12, version 1.7.3* fix ur game bruh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 5/5 — Complex in a good way *2026-06-28* While at first it seems overwhelming as a game the tutorial and single player missions/puzzles really teach you the game. The fact that there’s all these systems and effects actually make it so you have freedom in creating decks. I’m new but even with my limited cards I have board clears, single target elims, and close outs. Building the deck is the hardest part because there’s so much to choose from but at least you get a free daily pack, events and tournaments to get more card packs and crafting resources. Can’t wait for the new card set because it’ll put me more of an even playing field and according to a guild mate, new card sets come out every two or so months. ### 5/5 — I had a 1 star before *2026-06-20, version 1.7.20* I had a 1 star,but now I give it 5.no more crashing,good job.just continue with the stories. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-04-27* Nice game, more than what I expect. I hope this game will develop further. ### 5/5 — Great core game *2026-04-10, version 1.6.15* The core mechanics and gameplay are fun, however its quite a grind to become competitive. Playing daily and doing the practice missions helps learn and get resources, however I believe they should give new players enough resources to build one competitive deck off the start. ### 5/5 — Favorite card game *2026-03-12, version 1.6.5* Played the OG, and played this since day 1. You can build up a collection as long as you do dailies and the gameplay is still fun. ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-03-12, version 1.6.5* Made me a card game player ### 5/5 — i like the story *2026-03-12, version 1.6.5* The story was honestly super fun to watch and I’m not a big card game player so I can’t talk about that part but the story was nice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
