Developed by one of EA's in-house studios using a brand new IP, BattleForge is set in a fantasy realm where you, as a 'Skylord', help guide the fate of the world around you by using cards to summon forces onto the screen. You gain more cards by winning matches, or buying 'booster' packs and other stronger cards through micro-transactions and a point system, and like any good card game, you can customize and create your own decks to find that winning formula, buy/sell/trade cards, and get endless repeats you don't need.
Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
