Shadow Realm

Shadow Realm is a strategy-first lane battler with arcade energy.

Build a focused deck, deploy units across three lanes, defend your tower, and break through enemy pressure before the realm overwhelms you. Each card has a clear role, from sturdy frontliners and ranged supports to assassins, siege units, control casters, and sustain tools. Winning is about timing, lane control, and smart elixir use, not blind spam.
