A couple weeks ago, I hadn’t even heard of Shadowverse. Then all at once I found out about the card game, the video game, and the anime. I saw the video game for Switch a couple times at Gamestop and didn’t pay much attention to it but then I finally decided to give it a shot after looking into it.

Overall, I’m glad that I did because the game really made me think back to the days of me playing games like Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories as a child and those were good days. The price was a bit on the high end but I had a really good experience with the game and there were a few things about the game that I wanted to talk about.

GRAPHICS: 9/10

The only minor complaint that I had with the graphics of Shadowverse was the look of the cards when battling. I did most of the battling off of the TV and the text for many of the card ended up being very difficult to read. Sometimes I’d have to get up and move close to the screen just to read the card name or description. But that was the only issue with the graphics that I personally had and I think the rest was great.

For the most part, the game looked just great. There were a couple animated cutscenes here and there, the in game cutscenes were pretty good, and the semi open world full 3D environment was large, full of color, and tons of detail. All the buildings and character models looked pretty good.

There’s lots of background detail too. For instance, if you were to stand at the edge of the courtyard and just look past the fields, you’d see trees and mountains off in the distance and in the sky you would see the clouds moving across the screen. That’s a really nice detail though it’s a bit disappointing that all the clouds move in the same direction regardless of which way you’re facing.

Overall, I think the graphics kind of look like a cross between Pokemon Sword and Shield, and Persona 4 Golden. Other than the one issue that I have with the way the cards look, the graphics are really good.

SOUND: 9/10

Overall, I’m a big fan of the sound aspect for a number of reasons. I’m not too big on the regular sounds of the game but the voice acting and music is really good in my opinion. Depending on where you are, the game has some really nice, relaxing, and catchy music and a many of the characters are even fully voiced as well.

One aspect of sound that I really liked is that many of the cards have their own voices as well. When you play a certain card or attack with one, or when one is defeated, you’re going to hear a line and I thought that was a really nice touch.

The fact that you can change the volume of all three sound factors, music, SFX, and Voice, is a great thing to have. I didn’t like many of the regular sounds and thought that they were too loud at times so I was able to drop that slider a little bit so that the music and voice acting would be what stood out and that helped me enjoy the audio of Shadowverse much more. Overall, the game has some really good fun.

ADDICTIVENESS: 8/10

Maybe there are a few Shadowverse fans who are going to hate me for this, but when it comes to the gameplay mechanics and the actual card game itself, I didn’t think that it was more fun than a game like Yu-Gi-Oh or Slay the Spire. At its core, it basically felt like your standard card game with different cards and a few gameplay differences to make it different enough, But there are a few things that I want to point out.

Since it isn’t just a card game, that adds so much more to the game. I really enjoyed the whole RPG aspect and school life sim stuff going on in addition to the card games and that made it so much more than just a card game. I also didn’t get a chance to play online due to limitations and playing with your friends or competitively with people all over the world would make it much more fun.

So while the actual card game itself didn’t really stand out for me, the entire package as a whole was lots of fun and will be even more if you play online.

STORY: 8/10

Technically there isn’t that much of a story going on when you first start off. You’re this kid who doesn’t know anything about Shadowverse and you transfer to a new school where apparently everybody is in love with the game. Apparently it’s like the biggest thing in the world so how does a kid not know about it? I have no idea.

But you start at the school, you make some friends, they teach you how to play the game, and then you’re off to the races battling everyone you see. The single story mode is pretty massive which is one of the reasons why the game was a whole $50. It’s nine chapters that are really long in length. Though most of the time spent comes from exploring and long card games.

DEPTH: 10/10

Oh boy does the game throw a lot at you. I’m gonna break the depth section into six aspects. They are offline, online, battles, cards, exploration, and trophies.

Offline: I pretty much explained a bit of the offline campaign already. It’s pretty massive. There’s lots to explore when it comes to your school and the surrounding area. Heck, the school itself is pretty big. The campaign could easily last you 50 hours.

Online: Play with your friends. Play with random people. Compete. Like many games, once you go online, the doors to so much more begin to open.

Battles: The battle themselves try to stand out by having lots of features that you wouldn’t find in other card games. There’s lots of battle aspects that you get to figure out like play points, evolving, and guard.

Cards: There’s so many cards in the game to create your deck with. Plus there’s different kinds of decks with different strategy boosts. There’s lots of ways to get cards too. You can get some by winning matches but you can also find vendors that sell packs and individual cards and each vendor sells different items that change each game day.

Exploration: There’s so many places to explore. You got the school itself which has three floors that are all pretty big plus a courtyard. You got the area around the school, the shopping area, the park, and more. Lots of things to find too.

Trophies: Oh boy are there a ton of trophies for you to earn. More than 120 for doing a variety of different things. Normally there aren’t achievement systems for Switch games but not only is there one in Shadowverse, it’s massive.

DIFFICULTY: 3

If you’ve already played the actual card game in the past, then you should already know all of the rules by now and you should already be a pro by the time you’re done with the tutorial. The only thing that you might have some trouble with is the randomness of acquiring new cards so it might take some time to construct a quality deck but you’ll get there In time. If you’ve never played the game before and you’re a complete noob, you aren’t actually that far behind the pros.

The battle mechanic is pretty straightforward. Once you get past the tutorial, it will only take you a couple battles until you completely understand all of the rules and how to play and then once that time comes, you’ll be on the same page as the pros, so there isn’t much that you need to worry about.

OVERALL: 9/10

Shadowverse is not for everyone. The game does have a steep price tag at $50 and if you’ve never had any experience with the franchise or you don’t like card battling games in general, then it might not be for you. But for those of you who like card games and RPG’s, then the 100+ hours that you might get out of Shadowverse for $50 might sound like a great game.

Overall the game looks and sounds great and has a good battle system that together combines with the RPG and school life sim to create a game that’s lots of fun. Overall, Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle gets a 9/10 from me.
