Shadow Era

Shadow Era is a collectible card game set in the world of Balor. You choose a Human Hero, receive a starter deck and build your strategy as you collect cards. Battle AI opponents or other players in real-time PvP, and access your progress and cards across devices.

The world of Balor

Humanity faces threats from the Shadow-aligned Wulven, the Sandwing dragons and other factions. In one unfolding saga, Templar and Twilight mystics try to restore nature’s balance by infusing departed human souls into Balor’s jungle cats. The ritual creates Feline Humanoid champions for Humanity, but also cracks open the ancient egg-caverns of the Sandwings, a tribe of dragons believed extinct. You can defend Humanity or fight alongside the Sandwing Broodmother against those who wield powers they should not command.

Newer card releases expand the conflict. The Scaleforge return to help Humanity fight the Sandwing scourge, while darkness rises from the heart of Kyber. Wyern Riders arrive, and the Shadow Scaleforge, Guardians and Brothers of Thunder join the fray.

Build your deck

You choose a strategy while assembling a deck from more than 800 cards. The game includes heroes and allies across Human, Shadow, Wulven, Outlaw, Wild and other alignments, along with weapons, armor, items, abilities, attachments and locations. Updates add cards and adjust existing ones, including new class cards for Warrior, Mage, Hunter, Priest, Rogue, Wulven and Elemental decks.

You can watch games in progress or replay completed matches to study strategies. The game also includes 3D graphics, special effects and a custom soundtrack.
