Comments on Shadow Era - Trading Card Game for Android

★★★★★ baxster marconi · Nov 16, 2023
I've been playing for over 12 years. It's amazing. The physical card game was amazing also
★★★★☆ Rockey79 · Mar 12, 2024
I enjoy playing this card game. I've been playing for over a decade. What I don't like is some cards are sold out as soon it's released and u have to use money & hopefully get lucky enough to have one inside the package. Not fair.
★☆☆☆☆ Talha Syed Muhammad · Sep 5, 2024
All I see is black screen everywhere after the latest update. Whether I go to my deck, merchant, campaign, multiplayer all I see is black screen. The game was really fun and engaging. I loved and would reinstall if the bug gets fixed.
★☆☆☆☆ BB · Oct 17, 2023
Don't waste your time with this pay to win game. Most of these positive reviewers are more than likely bribed. This game is designed for you to lose unless you buy a select few cards that conquer the majority of the game for a generous price. It's a cheap power play that requires no skill. Similar to many predatory money traps among mobile games with a more subtle approach, toxic community, and indifferent developers to the needs of users or their experience. Much better games out there.
