    I quite like this game. It can be really fun without having to constantly be on it. I'd appreciate it if you use my referral code BK67613 which will give both of us a good cards to start out with.

    Great game, I like the card designs, I tried the new Magic game but I prefer the faster pace of this one. Use this code when you first start out to get really good cards and a head start.

    The good:
    A card game that kept me entertained with its mechanics until the day it closed. "There were no silver bullets" there were no foolproof winning combinations or cards that stood out above the rest for a long time since its rate of updates kept releasing new cards, new zones and new characters. He had several collaborations with Final Fantasy in which we could use monsters from    The good:
    A card game that kept me entertained with its mechanics until the day it closed. "There were no silver bullets" there were no foolproof winning combinations or cards that stood out above the rest for a long time since its rate of updates kept releasing new cards, new zones and new characters. He had several collaborations with Final Fantasy in which we could use monsters from the classic FF (1-6), Guardian Forces, Summons, elementals, and events from FFXII, FFXIII, FFXIV. The card hunting minigame was a first person game in which silhouettes of creatures roamed the map and with a coldown rifle we hunted down the creatures that turned into cards. There were spring events, new year, summer, Halloween, hunting silver slimes, Trivia, exploring fortresses, defeating evil clowns…

    The bad:
    The game closed its servers and with the IOs updates it is no longer playable. Only the Wallpapers App remains in IOs, which stores some of the best illustrations of the 5 Star cards. The story was very generic. Events brought more and more zones, more and more cards, more and more recoloring, on a growing map but the story didn't move forward. Little customization for your character which made him a genetic hero "just because"
    The Meh!:
    The game failed to keep up with the public and tried to get players to switch to another App to a more turn-based RPG game with 3D models of familiar but very poorly made characters and painful designs. Before its closure, I tried to take all the possible captures of interesting cards and characters, but many models were already lost in time.    … Expand

    Guardian Cross mixes up Japanese RPG elements with western card games and sets it in a Sqaure-Enix-like world. Being free-to-play might be a problem for many players, but we believe it's special and it's worth a try.

    A dull collecting system and a dull combat phase are just two of the many problems in what is a shallow but good-looking Trading Card Game.

    Guardian Cross presents itself like a strategic card battler mixed with a classic JRPG, but it lacks any of the depth necessary to pull such a thing off.
