Today is brought to you by Legends of Runeterra
Legend of Runeterra is a new game released by Riot. This game plays very similar to Magic the Gathering.
You can watch movie clips for this game on YouTube. There are quite a few out right now.
Right now we are in the early stages and not all the champions are available at this time. All the pirates are the current theme.
You get a daily login reward that nets you more cards for your deck. This is the easiest way to progress.
Next, if you complete daily or weekly quests you get more experience to unlock vaults.
Vaults appear to be weekly milestones to get you extra rewards.
Here is the shop. You have two currencies. These coins are the premium currency in the game. 90% of the store requires this currency to buy cosmetics OR cards. The crystal is earned during gameplay and can be used to buy cards without real money.
Here is another reward list that you unlock as you play. Experience gives you access to free cards.
This is your deck box screen. I am unsure about how many decks you can have. These are 3 preconstructed decks you unlock at the start of the game.
The card menu shows you all the cards you own, but you can toggle it to show all cards. When you do this, you can click on a card and you can buy more copies or the new cards with, crystals, coins, or wildcard rewards. I'm still very early in this game so I don't know how free to play it is.
You can click on play and do one time challenges for the experience. I recommend doing all of these first to start earning cards for PvP. There is a bug after you complete a challenge, it will still show as incomplete unless you restart the game.
This is the main playfield. I won't linger as the tutorial teaches you everything. The basics are you get limited mana each turn but it grows by 1 for each round. You place troops or cast spells. You then work to beak the enemy nexus using strategy.
Overall:
4 of 5 cogs.
The battle system appears to be fairly balanced right now. The game client is a bit unstable but it connects into LoL. Riot has figured out how to do some cross-platforming so this could open up new possibilities in the future.
Story:
4 of 5 cogs.
There's a lot of story outside of the game via YouTube. Inside the game features voice acting. This game you want to play with the sound on.
Amount of ads:
There are no ads at all. At this time, zero ads. No videos for rewards and no popups.
Advertised as seen:
💯%
No schemes or sleight of hand. The game videos and ads are transparent.
Graphics:
5 of 5 cogs.
The graphics are great. High quality and crisp.
Audio:
5 of 5 cogs.
As I mentioned, voice acting and AAA game quality sound. You want the sound on for this one.
Gameplay:
5 of 5 cogs.
The gameplay is very straight forward and simple. It sometimes is hard to select the card you want to play by sliding them onto the field.
Free play:
🌟✴️ 50%
There's a lot of microtransactions and I'm not sure how far you can progress without money. Just like MtG, you have to buy certain cards for good combos. You may be able to progress by grinding.
Fun factor:
😸 good fun.
The game so far is fun. Though Ahri is not yet in ><.

Thank you for making it this far. If you enjoy the blog, you can now follow it on the desktop site. I have yet to get the widget working for mobile users. I need help to finish up graphics for this blog. If you know a sprite artist I could use the help.
