Onmyoji: The Card Game

Platforms: Android, iOS

Developed by NetEase in 2021, Onmyoji: The Card Game delivers a unique 2D strategic turn-based card duel PvP gameplay experience. The game is free-to-play and available on Google’s Play Store as well as Apple’s AppStore.

Onmyoji: The Card Game ditches the traditional class concept in assembling your card deck. The deck assembling system is replaced by Shikigamis. You build your deck with 4 Shikigamis. Shikigamis are in-game live 2D characters that wield 8 cards each. This gives players a total of 32 cards per deck.

The 8-card distribution system ensures that there are 4 Rare cards, 3 Super Rare cards, and 1 Super Super Rare card with each Shikigami. Moreover, players cannot put any number of ‘same’ cards into their decks. The limit is up to 2 cards of the same kind.

The cards themselves differ in their natures. Onmyoji contains the following 4 card types: Form, Evolution, Combat, and Spell.

The Form card, as its name suggests, adds an additional ability besides the basic ability to a Shikigami, altering its attack and health statistics. Evolution cards, on the contrary, evolve a Shikigami completely and replace its stats with something else entirely different. On the other hand, Combat cards beef up the attack statistics of a Shikigami or grant additional effects. Lastly, Spell cards are there for extra buffs/heal for Shikigamis.

As if this was not enough for strategic battles and tactful PvP matches, Onmyoji: The Card Game includes a unique special ability for each Shikigami. And to hype the intensity, there are 100+ Shikigamis in the game, enabling players to carry out an almost infinite number of possibilities of mind-gaming and cunning gameplays while filling their deck with Shikigamis!

In Onmyoji: The Card Game, can you make a deck that no one has ever made? Can you form the most lethal team capable of defeating everyone in PvP matches? Let’s find out!

Shadowverse

Platforms: Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Mac OS

Shadowverse is a state-of-the-art fantasy-inspired turn-based strategic card game developed by CyGames in 2016. The free-to-play card duel app is available on Google’s Play Store as well as Apple’s AppStore. Moreover, support for Windows and macOS is also available on Steam.

Shadowverse delivers jaw-dropping aesthetic visuals and an intuitive soundtrack meticulously made to intensify matches in PvP arenas. In the game, players have unlimited freedom in establishing their very own customized deck.

With thousands of stunning cards at your disposal, with each being unique in its own way, belonging to 8 vastly different classes, Shadowverse promises its users an unparallel level of gameplay experience!

The 8 classes are Forestcraft, Swordcraft, Runecraft, Dragoncraft, Shadowcraft, Bloodcraft, Havencraft, and Portalcraft. Each class specializes in one particular aspect. For instance, Forestcraft specializes in making combos while Swordcraft specializes in dealing with massive damages. How effectively you use each class makes all the difference in winning and losing card duels.

Moreover, while each class has its own set of unique cards, there are a further 3 types of cards in each class. The 3 types are Followers, Spell, and Amulets.

Followers are the most basic cards that do the fighting against the opposing team. They have their own set of unique attacks, defenses, costs, and abilities. Moreover, Follower cards can be evolved a number of times that, when done the right way, can even turn the tide of card battles in PvP matches. Next comes the Spell card whose function is to buff or de-buff effects and can only be used once. Amulets, on the other hand, possess assisting properties that aid you in card duels and potentially help you win losing battles.

With new cards and an ever-expanding game storyline, can you become the ultimate master of Shadowverse? Can you pull off some of the first-time card moves that no one has ever witnessed before? Let’s find out!
