With more than 50 Million downloads, Shadowverse the Digital CCG is easily at the top of Japan's card battle game genre. It is developed by Cygames, the creators of the renowned RPG games Granblue Fantasy ⚓ and Rage of the Bahamut 🐉.

What sets Shadowverse from other card games is it's exclusive Evolution mechanic that players can choose to activate on their fourth turn. Evolving a card will unleash it's upgraded version with more powerful stats and even gain extra abilities. Wisely evolving your cards at the right moment is crucial and can mean victory or defeat in battle.

There are 8 heroes that represent the powers and factions in the game. Choose the one that suits your playstyle the most!

Forestcraft - powered by nature, Forest cards gain bonuses the more you play cards during your turn. Quickly overwhelm your enemy with quick cast creatures like fairies and elves. Arisa the Warden is your hero.
Swordcraft - focused on military might and strategy, call forth soldiers, mercenaries, ninjas and commanders in battle. Gain bonuses if you have both commander and officer type cards in the play field. Erika the Royal Bodyguard is your hero.

Runecraft - the craft of the Mage's Guild specializes in direct damage spells and conjuring magical creatures and golems in combat. Runecraft's Spellboost ability will empower specific cards everytime you cast spells during your turn. Isabelle the Conjurer is your hero.
Dragoncraft - summon gigantic dragons, vicious lizards and dragon riders to your side. Dragoncraft can quickly gain play points to activate it's Overflow ability that makes it's spells and dragons even more powerful. Rowen the Dragon Commander is your hero.
Shadowcraft - necromancy is the specialty of Shadowcraft. Gain Shadow points as you summon skeletons, zombies, ghosts and spooks or when they leave the play field and spend the points to make your spells and creatures even more dangerous. Luna the Mysterious Child is your hero.

Bloodcraft - gain vampiric powers as an adherent of Bloodcraft. Some spells and creatures in Bloodcraft hurt you but that is to activate the Vengeance effect that will give bonuses to cards you lay on the play field. Urias the Last Vampire is your hero.
Havencraft - the craft of the Divine Order is devoted healing and buffing but never to be underestimated in battle - Havencraft has no equal when it comes to banishings and punishment spells. Summon faithful clergy, angels and divine beings to defeat the enemy. Eris the High Priestess is your hero.
Portalcraft - machines, artifacts and clockwork creatures are the specialty of Portalcraft. Combine cards that add Artifacts to your deck and cards that draw them into your hand to quickly unleash them in battle and overwhelm your opponent. Yuwan the Artificer is your hero.

There are also Neutral cards unaffiliated with any faction that you can add to your deck.
