Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond

★☆☆☆☆

Cannot recommend this game. The story mode is exactly that - text upon text with little to no gameplay. Tried multiple times to do an Unranked battle, and got timed out every time. No one's playing at the Beginner level, and I don't gain anything from battling the computer - especially not when I set the encounter, thus knowing what I'd be facing. The general consensus I've seen from long standing fans is that this game has fallen from what it was. Honestly, don't bother; I wasted my time.

★★☆☆☆

I enjoy the game, but it's hard to recommend it. Art's great, strategy is interesting, and there's enough to do, but don't invest any money or emotional energy. Cygames has done very little in response to the community's outcry for balance, and have shown time and time again that their main concern is making money, not making a good game that rewards and cherishes all players of all levels. As a result, the environment is becoming increasingly toxic in many forms. Try to have fun, but be wary...

It can take a while for a new player to get a decent amount of resources on their account, and the game gives far less than the previous one. There are only a few good ways for low spenders to catch up a bit faster, mostly just the battlepass. Expect to spend the first two months playing casually and not worrying about getting ranks until you can make more than one good working deck from the shadowversewins list per expansion. Don't be afraid to take a break if you don't like the current meta.

★★☆☆☆

I love shadowverse as a card game. I've been playing ever since middle school. To be very direct this game's issue is the connectivity. The game crashes every one to two matches or every match depending on the area I'm in. Even with factoring my phone it is still frustrating and unreasonable for it to stop working so often. Especially for the space it requires, which is not much compared to other games. I have all of my settings in low and still find it impossible to avoid the crashing and lag.
