Isso facilita a usabilidade em algumas ocasiões do jogo, eu particularmente parei de jogar por isso, gostaria da facilidade de jogar utilizando apenas uma mão. No mais, o jogo é excelente, fica a crítica construtiva. **Developer response:** Hello, we just updated new version of the game, with a lot of fixes and improvements! please give it a new try ;) Thank you ### 3/5 — Pas très clair *2026-08-13* J’ai énormément joué à Urban sur navigateur. Depuis quelques années je reviens jeter un oeil, mais la version mobile est franchement peu attrayante esthétiquement. Cependant, au delà du visuel, je trouve qu’il y a une réelle perte de clarté sur les cartes, la collection et les decks. J’ai voulu voir lesquels de mes decks étaient compatibles pour quel format en lobby, aucune info, juste : « votre deck n’est pas compatible ». Il faut aller voir une liste sur le net ?? En 2026 ? Pas d’info sur quelles cartes sont interdites dedans directement en visuel etc etc. On avait quand même une meilleure visibilité en 2008 sur une version navigateur. Faire progresser les animations et les moteurs graphiques bien sûr, mais certainement pas au prix de de la clarté et du trop plein visuel. Reprendre un jeu et rattraper la meta sur un TCG c’est déjà un investissement de la part d’un joueur revenant, mais ça ne donne pas envie avec l’outil à disposition. ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-04-25, version 1.46.1* I really enjoy this game! Progression is good, and its f2p friendly! I just miss the surveys to get credits. ### 5/5 — Great improvement *2026-04-25, version 1.46.1* Been playing since wayyy back, great improvement on the app, keep it up ### 5/5 — Old but gold! *2026-04-25* A game of the ages, hit its 20th anniversary last year, fantastic game with deep lore and great card design, the game play is simple yet effective and can be as competitive or as chilled out as you like. Active core fanbase from different nations with many players that are happy to help with even the smallest of problems. Join the family and play UR :) ### 5/5 — I still love this game! *2026-02-27, version 1.45.0* I recently came back to this game and I’m happy to see new life being breathed into it. I’ll continue to support it from here on… Long live UR!! ### 5/5 — Sugestão *2026-01-28* No final de cada round antigamente, ao invés da carta golpear pra tirar vida, a carta ficava parada e saia em direção a barra de vida do adversário uma especie de “munição” (digamos assim) cada clã tinha uma munição diferente para tirar a vida do adversário no final do round e isso era muito maneiro, voltem a fazer dessa forma porque do jeito que está fica esquisito a carta golpeando pra tirar vida no final do round, eu espero que tenham me entendido, se não assistam um vídeo do urban rivais de 2012 que vcs vão ver no final de cada round os hits, diferentes por clã ### 3/5 — Buggy *2026-01-18* Would be 5 stars but i cant play beacuse the characters i own it says i dont own and they arnt in my collection so yea. ### 5/5 — Play this game on the meta quest 3! Blow the screen up and thank me later! *2025-12-08* Timeless Game Endless cards and combinations. Paying won’t help you win and even having the best cards you still might lose. It’s pure PVP strategy!!!! Music is beautiful art and animation beautiful!!! I wish I could play this On my PS Vita!!! AND MY PlayStation 4 cross platform with PC and mobile players!!!! This game would take off way more!!!!!!!!!!!! This should be a E sports game! This game can create so many jobs content and revenue!!!!. I want to contribute to the musical production! **Developer response:** We're delighted that you're enjoying Urban Rivals! We'll keep working to make the game even better, as promised. Your support is valuable, and we hope you'll keep enjoying this amazing game. Have a great time! ### 5/5 — Make VR Mode & Keep This Game Alive Forever!!!!! *2025-10-08, version 1.41.0* Timeless Game Endless cards and combinations. Paying won’t help you win and even having the best cards you still might lose. It’s pure PVP strategy!!!! Music is beautiful art and animation beautiful!!! I wish I could play this On my PS Vita!!! AND MY PlayStation 4 cross platform with PC and mobile players!!!! This game would take off way more!!!!!!!!!!!! This should be a E sports game! This game can create so many jobs content and revenue!!!! ### 2/5 — not the same *2025-09-08, version 1.40.0* game is broken right now -player since 2015 . ### 5/5 — FANTÁSTICO *2025-09-05* Jogo desde 2007 e continuo me divertindo!! Um brinde aos Piratas do Atlântico. ### 5/5 — Great game, pretty nostalgic *2025-09-04* Great gameplay and lots os cool cards to collect. Even that singleplayer mode called "Rift" can be pretty fun sometimes. And the support is pretty good too, you can solve any problem by contacting them. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words and long-time support! 🙏 We’re thrilled to hear the game still feels true to its roots while offering something fresh. It’s players like you who keep Urban Rivals alive and evolving — thank you! ### 5/5 — Un jeu qui se bonifie avec le temps *2025-09-04* Ça fait maintenant 14 ans que je suis sur Urban Rivals, et je trouve que le dernier virage qu’a pris l’équipe est vraiment revigorant! Il m’a fait me remettre d’autant plus dans l’histoire de ClintCity. De plus, le nouveau système de missions de saisons apportent une vrai valeur ajoutée en terme de gratuité. En effet il y a possibilité de passer un très bon moment sur le jeu sans forcément débourser. Un grand merci à Acute! ### 5/5 — They do their job *2025-09-04, version 1.40.0* Reason this game has 10 plus years running ### 5/5 — Login screen *2025-09-03, version 1.40.0* After trying for 40 f… minutes. Yall can eat a desmesurable guebo gilipollas fix yall bug. UPDTE; Yall finally fix it so there’s your 5* ### 5/5 — Fair und nicht P2W *2025-09-02* UR ist ein sehr faires Spiel. Bleibt man am Ball und macht bei den Community Events mit schafft man schnell auch seltene Karten zu ergattern. Gute Karten müssen nicht unbedingt selten sein und somit sind sie leicht zu erhalten. ### 4/5 — Fun to be back *2025-09-02* Started playing again about two weeks ago after playing off and on for years. Found the app by complete accident and was excited to try again. Only negative I have is that the economy of the market has shifted with crazy inflation, but with a bit of patience and time you’ll get enough currency to be able to build a deck in like a day and a half. Overall, the art style is still charming and the pillz mechanic is still fun. Would recommend 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Clunky and outdated *2026-04-09* This game in the past was 5* easy, its a shame how the actual app has such poor navigation, everything feels messy and not user friendly, it is sad to see, badly needs and update, feels unplayable on phone ### 1/5 — Why..? *2025-10-15, version 1.41.0* Been trying to make an elo deck with Piranas. the deck has 8 cards with 25 stars. No card in the deck has the symbol for being restricted in elo and yet IT WILL NOT LET ME USE THE DECK! Like it literally makes no sense. Enjoyed playing this game as a kid. Sadly, seems broken now. ### 1/5 — Sehr schlechtes update fürs handy *2025-08-20* Also das neue update fürs handy macht alles total umständlich und unnötig kompliziert, unübersichtlich **Developer response:** Wir verstehen die Reaktion, aber die neue Version bietet tatsächlich mehr Möglichkeiten als die alte. Ein wenig Eingewöhnung reicht, um die Vorteile zu voir. ### 1/5 — Want to play *2025-08-13, version 11.39.Zero* Won’t let me make an account ### 1/5 — Can’t even sign up *2025-08-12, version 11.39.Zero* Tried making an apple account and it says authentication successful you close and login on the app and it just stays on the login or play as guest screen. Tried the same on the website and successfully created an account and the game just stays on login screen. Just garbage. Deleted. ### 1/5 — I can't log into my account *2025-08-11* After the last update, you can't log in to your account, the "Login" button works, but after entering the data and confirming the account, it asks you to enter the data again, but allows you to enter the game as a new player. Correct the error. **Developer response:** Thanks for reporting. This login loop has been fixed in v1.40.0. Please update the app and try again. If it still happens, email moderator@urban-rivals.com with your device and player ID so we can check. ### 1/5 — Came back *2025-08-11, version 11.39.Zero* Game looks bad, character on cards blurry mess. Even on newer phones and turn things off and on and settings. I would recommend playing Pokémon trading card game pocket wish gives 2 free packs a day. Or even digimon card game if it comes out and they give free packs a day to. Anything probably better than this game. Looks like Ai art they trying to get you to spend ones one up. ### 1/5 — Can’t create an account to login *2025-08-11* I couldn’t create an account at first which was weird. Once I started the game I was able to find where the account creation was. I created an account but had to redownload the game just to be able to press a login button. Once I put my info in and pressed login it took me back to the main page where I was stuck in a loop of not being able to log in. If you are fine with the risk of losing your account then by all means play the game. I won’t be playing until this is fixed. I’ll just go play some Pokémon tcg instead. Or even Dokkan :) **Developer response:** That login loop has already been fixed in update 1.40.0. Please update the app and you’ll be able to log in normally without reinstalling. ### 1/5 — Are you crazy?? *2025-08-09* The worst update **Developer response:** We hear you — but many issues were fixed in version 1.40.0, making the game more stable and enjoyable. Give it a try. ### 1/5 — Can’t create account *2025-08-08, version 11.39.Zero* I will change review once this is fixed. I create an account and then when I login it says “address not found” tried everything. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Never Fails! *2026-06-12, version 1.47.1* Ive played this since i was a kid on dialup, can always pick it back up after long breaks and watch all my old cards increase in value. Also good for learning quick math. ### 5/5 — Been playing for over a decade, keep coming back *2026-05-03* I have been playing Urban Rivals for over 10 years and it still gives me reason to keep coming back, it’s reinvented itself many times over the years which keeps it exciting time and time again. ### 5/5 — Classic *2026-04-30* This game may be old but it’s still a banger ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-04-26, version 1.46.1* Been playing since 2009 still super fun and addicting. IGN Creeptid ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-04-26* Jeu très chouette et assez addictif. Bon game play et grosse communauté. Grosse multitude de cartes et de missions afférentes. Seul bémol, difficile de gagner des cartes. Mais ça reste top. ### 5/5 — Бессмертная классика *2026-04-26* Я играю в эту игру ещё со времен рекламы браузерок... Собственно так я на неё и наткнулся. Спустя много лет игра сильно менялась, перерабатывалась карточная система, раритетность, добавились новые режимы. Но в своей основе это всё тот же старый добрый UR. ### 5/5 — This game is 20 years old!!! *2026-04-26, version 1.46.1* I’ve been playing this game for 17 years. So ask yourself, how good must a game be for someone to play it for 17 years? Come find out. Download and join the fun! 👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing updates *2026-04-25* The devs have done an amazing job updating the UI of the app and making it feel more streamlined. I couldn’t be happier with the changes they made to improve the user experience. It is now very comparable to the website version! ### 5/5 — Unglaublich vielseitiges TCG *2026-04-25* Egal, ob nur sammeln taktisches spielen oder stundenlanger Grind. In diesem Spiel ist alles möglich und jeder der TCG mag sollte es definitiv mal ausprobieren. ### 5/5 — Bewertung als Creator *2026-04-25* Also als Content Creator kann ich nur sagen, dass die Community stabil ist. Das Team lässt manchmal zu wünschen übrig, aber im großen und ganzen ein geiles spiel. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
