| Shadowverse

As collectible card games go, Shadowverse is pretty boss, and Cygames gave us the chance to show you guys three of the 104 cards coming in its newest card pack, Tempest of the Gods.

In case you haven't heard of it just yet, check out the trailer below for a pretty intense introduction to this fourth card pack. Shadowverse is about to kick it up a gear as Zeus and other god-tier cards join the running.

If you haven't been wooed by its dark fantasy/anime-like art style, perhaps you'll enjoy its ever-expanding story and action-rich card battles.

The basic idea is that you choose from seven classes, each with its own special set of cards. Card-wise there are three sorts: followers, spells, and amulets, and each card contains your usual cost (green), attack (blue), defence (red), and ability. Some cards also feature two forms - unevolved and evolved.


Without further ado, let's take a little look at what's coming.

Frozen Mammoth

  • Class - Neutral

  • Type - Amulet

  • Rarity - Silver

  • Ability - When you play a follower that costs at least seven play points, destroy this amulet. Last Words: Summon an Imperial Mammoth.

Elder Mage of Dragonlore - Unevolved and Evolved

  • Class - Runecraft

  • Type - Follower

  • Rarity - Gold

  • Ability (Standard/Evolved) - Fanfare: Summon a Dragon. Earth Rite: Summon a Windblast Dragon instead

Ouroboros - Unevolved and Evolved

  • Class - Dragoncraft

  • Type - Follower

  • Rarity - Legend

  • Ability (Unevolved) - Fanfare: Deal three damage to an enemy.
    Last Words: Restore three defence to your leader, then put an Ouroboros into your hand.

  • Ability (Evolved) - Last Words: Restore three defence to your leader, then put an Ouroboros into your hand

If you like the look of the game and have yet to give it a go, you can grab it free-to-play on the App Store, Google Play, or on Steam.
