reviews
I'm a HUGE fan of card games or games similar to that style, and this is definitely one of the best I've played. Whether you like the league of legends brand, or just that game style, this one is worth a shot. Aside from just versus other players, it has extra modes that are almost painfully addictive. Their current lab one has become my online drug of choice. Definitely a fan.

Very good strategic game and has a lot of indept gameplay to look into but the tutorial is not a clear cut for me. It took me a couple of minutes to understand what is going on and "really" play this game. It has some fps drop here and there. Overall the gameplay is incredible, the graphics are nice, but needs more improvement for new players to come in

If you are looking for a card game where you can get all tje cards without paying money, look no further. Been playing since beta and I have all the cards without paying for them. They make money through cosmetics, but as long as you complete the weekly (again, weekly, not daily, much more accessible) quests you WILL get all the cards and tons of resources

If they don't address the issue of how unbalanced the game has become don't bother! Comp always has an answer to any move you make. Can't even try to play most cards as only a select few decks have any chance of winning while everything else just fails! Don't try this game unless you want too be pissed off all the time. Game cheats big time.

Best TCG out there. Very free-to-play friendly, and even if you decide to buy some cards they are very cheap. Sometimes balance is an issue, but there are constant updates so something that's way too strong or weak usually doesn't stay that way for long. If you're a fan of other TCG's like Hearthstone or MTG, this is a must-play.

I love how easy it is to get started and or how cheap it is compared to, say, Hearthstone. You can truly get a top tier, world championship winning deck for 30 dollars immediately or within a couple weeks of playing. The "common" cards are 10 coins, or approximately $0.10. Many of the staple cards and good cards are in this category. It goes Common (10 coins), Rare (30), Epic (120), Champion/Legendary (300) 1 coin ~ 1 penny There are strictly 40 cards per deck. About 20 are common!

The game is simply amazing. I would like to merge my two accounts into one (just because of the blue poro), but that's not a complain. The game is *amazing*! Even as a f2p player, the grind is FAR more rewarding than the average game, and to build any desired deck doesn't take more than 2-3 weeks of average game. Which is reasonable, counting that is mere game progression! Well done, Riot, well done.

Best Free-to-play card game on the market. - Near perfect economy, any deck can be obtained for free within about a week or so. A complete collection as a free player is a possibility. - Top-notch graphics and witty dialogue. - Polished mechanics: LoR takes the best aspects of many other, older card games (Mtg, Hearthstone, etc.) to create a robust game with both familiar mechanics and unique ones. - Diverse game modes: Ranked, Unranked, Single-player, Draft, and Tournament formats.

This has become my favorite digital card game. I've tried MTG: Arena, Hearthstone and Elder Scrolls Legends, and this seems a great combination of those games, plus a unique Champion card aspect . The matches are exciting, well paced, and you can pull off some very clever combos. I've found it to be absolutely NOT pay to win, in fact I'm winning the majority of my matches with a budget Spider Swarm deck, against opponents who've obviously paid money. Now Im trying a Stun deck that is super fun.

This is probably the best digital card game you'll ever find on any platform, it's a classic TGC but with fresh mechanics like the Spell Mana which adds more deepness to each choice or the Champion cards, they're probably the best part of the game after the fact THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND A SINGLE CENT, I'm not joking, you literally don't have to spend a single cent to get the cards you need/want, you are basically able to get any single card in the game by playing

Never played any card/magic games prior, but riot games is never "pay to win". Only things bought are cosmetics. Honestly super in to this game. Very entertaing. Took a few days to fully understand it. But well worth it. Play all the tutorial and then challenges to really understand how to fight each faction and understand how to fight as each faction. Makes PVP alot easier. Highly reccomend.

Longtime MTG player, Runeterra is the first card game ever to replace MTG as my main game. Excellent production values, a truly fair economy that allows "free to play" players actually create a collection, and varied modes and constant upgrades to keep things fresh. Runeterra is about as good as a digital card game can be, I cannot recommend it enough.

The only TRUE free to play card game, I play casually and now I can afford every expansion from now on with all the free resource this game gives you. The gameplay is really interactive and the animations are great. It can improve in some things but I'm really happy and I don't think I can play another CCG unless its economy is as healthy as Runeterra's.

Great game, seems to be working great on phone! Will leave the last star on hold to give the game some time to check how powercreep will work in it. Edit: the game keeps adding and adding stuff and I'm happy to say that it's worth your time. The artwork is always evolving (and beautiful!), the game keeps playstyles fresh and fun and, although some cards are weaker than others, there's always a niche for them. Great game, great time.

This is an excellent CCG with no need to pay for cards in order to build the deck you want. There are regular updates with new cards, so the meta changes on a reasonable cadence; the balance is good enough (and is regularly tweaked) that old archetypes aren't automatically made obsolete, though. New game modes are also somewhat common. There are a few more features I'd like to see, such as async games with friends (so you can take turns over the course of a day rather than in real time).
noname688428, the 19/03/2021

Great game! It takes a new approach to CCG making for a refreshing new play style. Rather than a lesser version of a previous CCG. I recommend playing through the challenges before playing a real match or making a deck. Doing so will give you a good feel for the different game play styles and what you wish to focus on for your deck. Note they do not explain this, though many would assume, if you or your opponent runs out of a deck then that player loses. Good luck! Hope that you enjoy it too! ♡

One of the best TCG game I've ever played! The only thing you spend money on are the cosmetics, the game basically gives you the cards for free and there's multiple ways to get them More than one gamemode and you could even grind against AI to get a decent deck to play vs other players. So many beautiful artwork in the cards and if you're a LoL player seeing your favorite champion makes it even better. I say give the game a try it's super casual friendly and most of all it's really fun

One of the best ccg card games I have played. No need to pay to win. Gradually unlocks cards as you play. Then let's you focus on the mechanic you want to play based on your style. Then just when you think you got the deck of your dreams. You can start down another style path and work your way toward another cool play style. Constants updating and adding new mechanics and you don't have to kill your wallet to have fun. Having an absolute blast.

Excellent and fresh gameplay. Still a pay to win but reduced to the minimum possible so it's nice to see the effort. Update: still an amazingly fresh gameplay. Definitely more dynamic and streamlined than before so that's amazing. I made a purchase and feel satisfied with the amount of content I received.

Love the game, never had any issues with drawing too many spells or whatever I guess others are just unlucky and venting if you build your deck right it is impossible to draw too many of one type of card, I find the strategy is very nice, and the character interaction is very cool, some of the champions are a little over powered, but they are champions! I love the mixture of luck and skill you need to play it.

Used to be better. To give you an idea of what to expect: The AI will have a flawless deck and will pull out exactly the right card at the right time, to beat/destroy/counter whatever you have whilst if you grind for a year, you might just get enough cards to form a solid deck that 30% of the time, may draw in any order that's useful. Enter every round assuming you'll lose and you'll not go far wrong.

Probably the best CCG on the market. Not only is it the most f2p friendly ccg, but the world feels alive when you're playing. Champions talk to other champions and sometimes even followers. Yup, even followers have voice lines that they will say. Most of the champions and followers perfectly match their League of Legends or Runeterra flavor extremely well. Game is very strategic with the ability to react to your opponents play, because of that it ends up being one of the more indepth ccgs.

This is a very good game and characters likable also very balanced. 4/5 would reccomend. I changed it to 4/5 because of lab of legends, in lab of legends once you get the avatar you want but still like the playstyle and powers you can get from the same champion it does not give any more rewards after the first win I would like it to give shards after the first win because it gets boring. But still 5/5.

If you played league of legends, you will probably like this game. It's like hearthstone. When you tap on the cards, they give you a bit of lore. The artwork is beautiful. However, it can be really addictive. I often experience connection issues and soft glitches. Overall, the game is good in my opinion. Hope this helps.

This game is very fun and addicting, I love playing it, but there is just one card that needs a little debuff, Fiora. Fiora had the ability that if she kills two things she level up and when she kill two more thing she automaticaly wins. This is too easy to achive. I've played against plenty of Fioras and never managed to ever win due to how easy it was to get for kills with one card. I think her leveled up ability should be four kills insted of two, which will make the automatic win more worth.

There's so many bugs after shurima came. Yes, more than you prevent. 1. You will stuck when accepting invites in the middle of building a deck 2. Spell bug, the image still in the middle of the table even after its outcome 3. Image of a card stucks in the middle of the table, experienced when I play labs and have the units have fury trait 4. Failed to invite a newly made friend to battle 5. Mushroom puffcaps spell have these bugs where it fails 6. There's a bug on scarground, check yrself GG

Game mechanics (depth) and graphics fidelity surpasses that of Hearthstone. However, I wish they added all of these and make it the best card game ever: 1. Spectator mode: If possible, my friends should be able to also spectate even during the synergy picks of expedition. 2. Deck tracker: Game could use is own deck tracker. 3. Collection/deck sharing during friendly matches

Its an exceptional card game, offers alot to the f2p player aswell.. all I need for a change is that the more attack a unit or champion has, it still feels the same as if it had 1 attack.. The change im suggesting is adding some visual effect the heavier the attack is, even adding animations to the attacks and blocks would be an insane visual addition to the game. All in all, love the game but it could be visually more engaging.

Great game mechanics and great graphics. Well done ???????? Small note: for some reason my Samsung doesn't recognize it's a "game" so it doesn't keep the screen open while idle more than a few seconds. Also, when I'm in the middle of a single player match and a call comes in, the game is restarted and the match is lost, instead of being able to resume it.

Pros: Riot Games continues the free to play tradition. Game is completely free to play (with optional purchases), flashy and cool artwork and lore. Cons: Full of bugs, they fix 5 bugs,10 appear the next patch. Completely lazy card design with effects such as kill and win the game, get 22 stacks and? yes win the game. A child would have been more creative with card design. Unbalanced gameplay. The meta is pretty much the same every patch. Everyone plays the same decks. Overall average at best.

I've never seen a more fair card game, the monetization is amazing. I haven't spent any money on building my deck. The amazing game modes, dev support, and constant IMPACTFUL updates make it a 5 star game. The power to get into esports events without needing a team is INSANE. And six more vodka did an amazing job on the art and it keeps improving. I could gush all day about this game but, all I want to say is try it. It's amazing.

I reached legend in hearthstone, have an experience of mtg, lor is fine in comparison and it is really free to play. If you are new to the ccg, choose this one, you won't be able to keep up with other games, they require years of grind or thousands of dollars invest. I play hearthstone for 5 years and am able to keep up with wild only, standard is not feasible at all.

The game is amazing. It used to be a 5-star review, but there is a glaring problem. The game kept asking me to leave a review when it already had "a rating", no way to stop it. So there goes one star. Seriously stop asking... and while we are at stopping useless behaviors, could you add a button to stop having the new expansion advertised whenever I open the game. I've been playing with it for a while let me toggle it.

A bit confusing when its your first time to play a card game. You'll take a countless times of defeat but reading and learning to other player opponents tactics will make you wiser and stronger after every each battles that you had. Honestly this is my first time playing a virtual card game and its unexpectedly fun specially that I'm an FPS player myself. Great game!
noname683281, the 19/03/2021

My experience with this game is great! This is the first card game for me that I actually invested my time in actually learning and experimenting. That being said there are a few things that I wish for it to improve upon. One, the wording for some of them doesn't match each other even though they should be uniform across the cards can make it awkward to read. Two, I think their should be better filters in the collection, especially for incomplete or unowned copies for a card.

You buy cards instead of booster packs. You can buy them with currency earned in game or with currency purchased with real money. Tons of free unlocks. Best part of the whole thing, when you buy cards with either currency, you choose the exact cards you want. No rng; Loot crates are 100% free and earned fairly quickly (about 30 matches per week for basically the max weekly reward). Gameplay is great. Obviously sort like MTG. Mana is handled differently. Attacking is different also. Fantastic.

Updated 3/5/2021: I have started playing the game 50/50 on PC and mobile for almost a year. I think the game is still holding up and transitions very well to mobile. I have been noticing some more bugs on the mobile version with the game randomly freezing for random amounts of time. One thing I notice a lot is when I play some spells that target cards in my hand its very hard to cancel the spells activation due to the size of the cards. Overall still a great game, but I prefer to play on PC.

i came here after some months of playing to edit to 5 stars. premise: i come from dota and mtg, only gave this a shot after severe persuasion, i was in to not like this. verdict. 1) games are fast enough, fun modes are fun enough, strategy and depth are spot on. 2) i spent some money because this game deserves it (mainly for some cosmetics) but i didnt need to because i earned every single card in about 3 months and have plenty resources to buy new cards when the expansion drops. its 100% free!
noname598555, the 19/03/2021

The game is a very typical CCG game but what makes it great is the huge expanse of cards you can unlock wothout paying..... ------- I would just like an option to compete with my friends. If the developers are reading this I would seriously recommend adding this option to the game ------ if tbis featute would have been there this would ceryainly have been 5 star game.

Im really enjoying Runeterra as I play LOL. I play Runterra on PC as well as mobile! The only thing that im not really enjoying currently is the current region that has previously come out, Shurima. I believe it to be incredible OP compared to all other regions... which kind of makes the game not so enjoyable. Discords that I am in have also voiced their annoyance on this region and hope it will be balanced in the near future. Apart from that you will find yourself enjoying the challenges ahead
