Final week, I discussed I’d simply began taking part in Shadowverse: Worlds Past. I’m hooked on this new F2P card recreation, man. However after checking the Steam web page and seeing its “Overwhelmingly Unfavourable” ranking — nonetheless holding robust right now with over 12,000 opinions — I began to marvel if I used to be lacking one thing.
Possibly I’m nonetheless within the honeymoon part, however I’m nonetheless very a lot having fun with it. The visuals are sharp, the interface feels easy, and the animations are top-notch. It additionally appears fairly beneficiant with free assets — I’ve already constructed just a few strong decks with out spending a dime. Between the every day missions, park chests, and early login rewards, there’s a good stream of stuff to earn.
So why all of the hate? A lot of the backlash appears to be coming from longtime followers of the unique Shadowverse CCG. From what I collect, the monetization in Worlds Past feels tighter in comparison with the earlier title. And, cosmetics from the previous recreation didn’t switch over, apparently (which is certainly not cool). This new one looks like a step again in some areas.
That stated, from a brand new participant’s perspective, Worlds Past is dope. There are extra execs than cons for me in the intervening time. Maybe the shine will put on off ultimately, however for now, I’m having a blast.
