Read full description

ShutterForge turns the world around you into a card game. Take a photo of anything — your friends, your dog, your house, your shoe — and watch as AI transforms it into a one-of-a-kind collectible battle card with unique art, stats, and abilities. No two cards are ever the same. BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Every card belongs to one of six elements and five archetypes. Open packs to chase rares, forge new cards from everyday objects, and fill out a collection that's completely yours. BATTLE YOUR FRIENDS Challenge other players in Slam battles. Pick your best card, throw emotes, activate boosts, and see who built the better deck. Quick matches, real strategy. GO ON EXPEDITIONS Send your cards out into the world on expeditions to earn badges and discover new card powers. The further the journey, the bigger the payoff. BUILD YOUR OWN WORLDS Design custom worlds with their own element, terrain, and mood. Each world gets its own AI-generated art and changes how your cards perform inside it. FORGE YOUR STYLE Unlock tools, card skins, emotes, and cosmetics to make your collection stand out. Equip a Loaded Die to boost your odds, use the Magic Loupe to reveal hidden information, rename your cards, or reforge their element entirely. LEVEL UP WITH SLAM PASS Progress through the Slam Pass to unlock exclusive rewards all season long. The more you play, the more you earn. No two players will ever have the same collection. What you see in the real world shapes what you bring into the game. What will you forge?

On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
