    Truly epic! I can't wait for this game to drop. I have been craving a good TCG on the iDevice since its inception. I missed the beta but I won't miss the release.

    I love these new card games coming out for the idevice. Yours especially is a visual orgasm (sorry my friend implanted that saying in my mind).

    Question, taking out the hero right away is the logical choice so is there an effect/reward/bonus for taking out the allies instead of the hero? Also are there different categories for the card, if so what are they? I couldn't find it on your website and I don't feel like looking in this entire thread for the answer.

    Oh nice if thats possible,ill also comment the forums there.
    Edit: Or as its not possible, I'll throw a pm? :D

    Also a question about shadow Heroes and boosters:
    If you buy many boosters and they will randomly contain shadow cards which cannot be used with human heroes,does that mean you have to buy boosters till you get lucky with a shadow hero? Or wait, you said all boosters will contain 1 hero,and as all human heroes are usable, you can only get shadow heroes from boosters,yes?

    That's right, you can pick your Human Hero to start. Shadow Heroes are only found in boosters. Each booster pack contains a random Hero.

    Do you get shadow cards randomly in the packs you get every level? Coz otherwise it would be atlest 2-4 boosters till you can make a shadow deck of 30 cards

    There is a lot og ways to Get cards. You can complete offers (Think eliminates offers) to Get gold and boosters and you also Get 3 cards every time you lvl up (I Think) you can also trade your cards and buy boosters with gold

    Thx, tho I was mainly concentrating on the shadow cards here,but yeah i forgot about selling cards for gold and then trading them for shadow cards feature :D
    The common to uncommon to rare to epic gold value and trading system that Kyle described was the best I've seen yet.
    Awesumz,can't wait

    Woot in the beta!

    Could someone link me to a game manual or what not? Kinda hard to test this game if ya don't really know whats going on =P


    Also will ya add a fullscreen mode for pc? Kinda hard to play this on a little screen on my 24" monitor lol. I could zoom in my browser, but that stretches out the art to be not so pretty =(

    The current game rules can be found at http://www.shadowera.com/showthread.php?186-Current-game-rules

    We plan to support a wide variety of resolutions. Eventually even the browser version will scale nicely to fill your browser window, or you can download a stand-alone version to your pc to play in fullscreen mode with better effects and no loading times.

    Hey thanks for beta key again:)
    Wrote my first feedbacks already
    By the way,what happens when your out of cards?
    You loose? Or it depends which hero has most health points?

    *Tried it out and nothing happened. Is it still about to be decided upon?

    Hi Kyle Poole, thanks for the beta invitation.

    Well...I would have said this long ago...because you sent the invitation LONG AGO...but...I just found the beta key on my spam folder :(

    Time to play!!!

    EDIT: After a *REALLY FAST* look at the game the art is AWESOME.
    Must read the manual though (I suggest a fast and easy tutorial in the full version, but probably is already planned).

    Again, thank you.

    Looks wonderful. One big question though...

    Does this require In App Purchases? If so, it won't work with Jailbroken machines so unfortunately I'm out...

    If not though, count me in - can't wait!

    i found a bug. The enemy played the item card which allows immediate attack of his allys. I destroyed it but the effect stayed.

    So I just read the cards are controlled on the server. Does this mean that cards can be bought outside of the standard 'in app purchase' model - in which case JB machines will be fine with this?

    Just hoping!

    Heres a quote of the FAQ at www.shadowera.com:

    The 0.99 bucks is for the in-app purchases and paypal,but there are many other ways listed above.
    Hope this helps.
