Shadowverse employs an anime art style with some illustrations reused from the developer's previous title, Rage of Bahamut,[3] an earlier digital collectible card game released in 2012. The game has been compared favorably with Hearthstone (2014), a difference being that Cygames sought to minimize the impact of randomness on match outcomes. Another difference is Shadowverse's "Evolve" game mechanic which allows players to grant played cards bonus stats and effects at the cost of an evolution point.[4]
An anime television series adaptation by Zexcs aired from April 2020 to March 2021. A second anime series titled Shadowverse Flame has been announced. An RPG card game based on the anime, Shadowverse: Champion's Battle was released on the Nintendo Switch in Japan in November 2020.[5][6] The game was released overseas on August 10, 2021.
