    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice game to play on switch, not the current meta, but it has some nice original game cards. The only thing is that you have to make a superior deck in chapter 7,8 where you are playing in the dark arena. It is truly a hell if you are not prepared enough.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not bad, but I still don't recommend it.
    What didn't convince me about the game?
    - Anonymous main character.
    - Too many "Master" characters around the map. This is a rank seen as a peak, where most professional players manage to reach such a rank, and then some children or random npc (with no history or anything) around the map are at their same level.
    - Ridiculous final boss. There is only one GM in the game, definitely a cool duelist, well no. The final boss is a cheater. Sure the fight has a twist, but it's ridiculous that the creator of the game takes advantage of these things to win. Beatable, but still the worst ending the game could do. Leon could very well be the final boss of the Shadow Arena and I was never going to complain, cheats made sense at least.
    - The whole club must necessarily win, the same goes for the "Masters".
    - Poorly balanced, classes that are much stronger than others.    … Expand

    Playing through this game brought me back to my childhood, when I played the Pokémon Trading Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards on my old Game Boys. We haven't seen many collectible card games like those on the Switch in recent years, but Shadowverse: Champion's Battle fits their mold well. So, if you're longing for that anime card game experience, give it a try and get ready to duel! [Issue #55 – October 2021, p. 71]

    Shadowverse is a solid effort from the people at Cygames, a CCG with an original story, a long campaign and intuitive mechanics. There's also a copious amount of content in both single and multiplayer.

    Shadowverse: Champion's Battle is one of those games that are simple to get but hard to master. It has a simple story, strategic diversity and great care in the production makes for tens (or hundreds) of fun hours of gameplay, especially if the online competition gets hot.
