Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond

I really wanted to give this game more chances than it deserved. Since its release, I've been watching this franchise go downhill and this has honestly been upsetting. Feels like CyGames stopped caring about Shadowverse as an actual card game and just turned it into a cash cow to milk before they eventually kill it off. First off, the cards are boring and uninspired. That was supposedly the whole point of the reboot, simpler gameplay and all, but its been nine expansions now and we're still getting cards that feel like they should have come out 3 or 4 sets ago. And a lot of these cards lean way too hard into non interaction, basically "I played this, nothing you can do about it, sorry." A lot of the retrains from the original game also completely lost the thing that made them cool in the first place, simplified to the point where playing them is just drop and forget, no thought required. On top of that, matchups feel way too one sided. Face the wrong class and the game turns into pure suffering, face the right one and it becomes boring since you already know how it ends before you even start playing. Doesn't leave much room to actually feel like your skill mattered either way. And…

Insanely pay to win. Doesnt let you disenchant cards, gives way less rupies to buy boosters, way less content per patch be it singleplayer or free rewards. Legit dumped 50hrs as a grandmaster player from the OG playing for a month and still cant afford a proper deck because every single one needs 15 legendaries and you gotta disenchant 20 gold cards to get the currency for it. Absolutely disgusting what cygames made out of this game. Super Evolve is beyond busted, almost every class just turns into braindead spam storm go face and oneshot opponent without any counterplay unless you play the same dog decks. HEAVY cashgrab for a much worse version of the original. Oh did I mention how the booster packs are obviously rigged aswell? every expansion pack refuses to give me any sword or shadow golds or legends. 0 legendaries for sword or shadow after around 300 packs? But the same 2-3 repeat nonstop in every pack, I had atleast 10 barren dragoncraft golds from the newest expansion pack while missing 80% of gold cards and would you look at that disenchanting a gold now only gives 1/4th of what a gold actually costs, every 4 times u get rawdogged u can now get a single card you want no…

Game design is just... bad. Card draws are not Poisson-distributed. If you go higher ranks, people will draw as if they are Yugi from Yugioh. I keep playing because there are no better alternatives.

Not for F2P

I don't understand why so much negativity. Seeing the negative reviews made me rethink my decision about downloading the game, but I eventualy decided to give it a try. After trying Hearthstone, Yu Gi Yo, and even Pokemon, I can tell you that this is the best TCG I have played, at least for me. And I am a free-to-play player !!! Though this game had me so hooked and addicted that I might even give them a couple $. Mechanics are cool, gameplay is not too simple but not too hard at the same time, it's fun, the card collecting and deck building aspect is addictive (even for a free-to-play player like me!). Haven't had any problem regarding raking plays, even though I'm usualy not of a big PVP fan, this game makes it really enjoyable and not too stressful for me for some reason. Stressful enough to care about games, without being too anxious about ranks and loosing. Honestly, if you're backing out because of the negative reviews, I encourage you to give it a try anyway. I did and I'm surely not regretting it ! (Playing on Mac M5 Pro w/ Crossover, perfect performance)

i love this game and hate it at the same time i give my life my time But i got regret
