5/25/2023 0 Comments Shadow era review![]() These physical cards were great, and perhaps I will review them one day, but they sent two whole sets of foil cards in addition to all that I ordered! And slowly but surely, I received even more stuff, both by mail and on my Shadow Era digital account. I ordered some of the physical cards last year….They had sort of a “kickstarter” thing going on, where you could pre-order the cards and you would get bonuses. So there you have it….You are confused already….But this game isn’t confusing. Your hero, in my case Majaya, can’t do much of anything except use Shadow Energy, which builds up every turn…. ![]() These creatures are called “allies,” and can attack. Boris, on the other hand must play Human creatures. The creatures you play in this game line up with their hero’s card type. Only certain cards go together, so Human and Wolf cards won’t share the same weapons and armor, etc. ![]() Basically, you have your cards, you draw a hand, make a sacrifice, which becomes your “mana pool” (to use a Magic term, Shadow Era calls it Resources) and you can play your cards with the resources you build up. You see, I can’t really explain this game without just talking about my experiences with it. What struck me the most was that they were still evolving the game as people were playing it! My favorite card then (and now!) is Majaya, but poor Majaya started out as too good of a card, then they weakened her too much, until finally finding the right balance…. Then, I would get knocked back down every time they updated the game. Before we knew it, I climbed the ratings ladder up to near 200. I mean, I read the rules, and sort of knew what to click…the game lights up the available cards, and in about two weeks I had it down. I jumped in apparently after the second big update was pushed out. I began to play Shadow Era, which was still in beta testing mode.
