Earth, once bountiful, was nearly depleted of its ability to sustain life. Humankind grew increasingly desperate to find an unlimited source of energy to rely upon. Brilliant minds around the world assembled for the sake of Earth's salvation. At a loss for alternatives, they began experimenting with fission augmented by anti-matter. In their haste, they unleashed catastrophe on an unprecedented scale. Fleeing certain death, the mass exodus of Earth began. This course led to the inception of five parallel streams.
The Earthen, a civilization of those left behind, remained and cultivated a thriving society through patience and perseverance. Protect the earth with unrivaled defensive capabilities. Enforce peace, or use the strength gifted by the cataclysmic priming to dictate the flow of battle.
The Kathari developed groundbreaking enhancements to the human genome deep below the frigid surface of Jupiter's moon, Europa. Copy and clone your way to victory with overwhelming numbers. Field cutting edge genetic science to unleash a whole host of symbiotic units.
The Marcolians, in pursuit of absolute supremacy rose and promptly laid claim to the entire red planet of Mars. Wield lightning fast aggression as well as a plethora of devastating fire support and armored vehicles in your relentless assault.
The Augencore found refuge on their foundry ship Caine-1, augmenting themselves for deep space travel. Utilize the iconic war machines of the Augencore. Pilot mechs into combat or bionically enhance your units through upgrades until none can withstand.
The Shroud, a mysterious presence in the universe– whereabouts currently unknown. Devastate those who oppose through manipulating the battlefield and unleashing powerful late game units.
For 10,000 years each Parallel would advance their way of life far beyond the constraints of Earth. New homes that were once considered fiction, became reality. However, at last, the spark that humankind had kindled on Earth those millennia ago has ignited into the unlimited power source that was promised, calling each Parallel back home. This energy-rich invitation brings new conflict, as each Parallel believes Earth is theirs to claim.

awful to new players, making it impossible to win. Getting matched up with high ranked players with all the cards vs my starter deck. Real fun.... F tier game. No story mode or anything to solo to get more cards, just play ranked and lose to people that already have fully functional decks with strategies.1 found this helpful
Game could be good if it had real game designers and developpers to nerf/buff the meta when it is needed. When a deck/card is op, they wait 1,5+ month until nerfing it, which makes free-elo for everyone playing this kind of broken deck, and the devs don't care at all : they could just remove the card until they fix it, but no, they keep creating frustration and destroying the game update after update, expansion after expansion. They should really just do their job : fixing the game, being reactive, but they never did. Stay away from the game, most of the playerbase is just here to earn money, if the team removes the money earned, the game would be at 0 player.
Great TCG. Love how complex the deckbuilding can get. The Art and Lore are some of the best I've seen.

It feels really premium for a free too play card game. The Sci-fi setting and art is very tastefully done. The game itself has a tried and true ruleset that many will find familiar. Reminds me of good old "Duel Masters", my childhood obsession.
I've been deep in the Parallel TCG rabbit hole for a while now and I think this game deserves way more attention than it gets, especially from TCG players who haven't tried it yet. The art and presentation are legitimately world-class. Every card feels like it belongs in a sci-fi art gallery. The five factions all have distinct visual identities and the lore behind them actually holds up, this isn't just flavor text slapped on cards, there's a real universe here worth exploring. The gameplay has real depth. If you're coming from Magic or Hearthstone you'll find the strategic ceiling here is high. Deck building around the five Parallels gives you a ton of variety, and matches rarely feel like coinflips, good plays are rewarded. The audio/visual in-client experience is surprisingly polished for a game still finding its footing. Cards are voice-acted, animations are clean, and the overall vibe during a match feels premium. Overall though if you love TCGs and sci-fi worldbuilding, Parallel is absolutely worth your time. The core game is genuinely fun independent of all the blockchain stuff, and the team has been actively improving the game month over month with each release. Hope…
