    Legends of Runeterra has a lot to offer as it enters the digital card game ring. Exploring the League of Legends universe in card form is enjoyable and addictive, and slicing an opponent down with a Fiora flourish or a Thresh-hooked hero is a blast. [Beta review score = 83]

    Runeterra might not be packed with interesting decisions, but it is loaded with charm. It’s nice. It’s soothing. That’s enough.

    Game is really beautiful and feels really good to play as expected from riot and i quite enjoyed the tutorial section which is really showingGame is really beautiful and feels really good to play as expected from riot and i quite enjoyed the tutorial section which is really showing you all the different mechanics of the game.

    However this game really needs to be more balanced, and not by just adding more cards to outperform the previously op ones.

    Then i'm also quite disappointed by the way you get cards, you can get a lot of cards early in the game just by following the tutorials but they're just basic cards. If you really want good cards you have to level up all the different factions, and doing so takes a long time and you will most likely end up against player you won't be able to counter because of the balance problem mixed with your lack of cards.

    I would also mention that i was expecting a better shop to get cards. Getting the rarity you want is a thing, but the cost is ridiculous for only one random card.

    TL;DR Game is beautiful, as of today i only came across one bug but i think it is only on it's way to becoming a cool card game but i hope Riot finds a way to fix it as a card game should be and not as League of Legends is fixed.    … Full Review »

    Nice game, good art, for me the best card game i had played and its worth the time if you are one of those competitive players.

    With the rewards you can have a lot of cards, but its a little slow because you need to invest some time to get the cards. i have played the beta a few days and when it was out i played almost everyday and i can say that with 2 o 3 months you can have almost all the card if you do the daily mission and if you win like 3-5 match per day. (i have like 95-97% of the cards including the ones in the last expansion (rising tides)
    The game still need some bug fixes because there are a few that are annoying and only 1 bug make me lose in one match, it was patched later. but some of the little annoying bugs are still there, so it needs polish and a some new mecanics that could make this a better game.    … Full Review »
