Legends of Runeterra
In Legends of Runeterra, you create a deck by selecting cards and heroes from several factions to create a cross-faction synergy. Runeterra is a sophisticated deck builder in this regard, but despite the large amount of cards, it’s very simple to grasp because most of the synergies revolve around your champions. It’s in the title: the ‘Legends’ of Runeterra are what make this a hero-driven deck builder with such a unique flavor.
After you’ve built your deck, you’ll face off against an opponent, taking turns attacking and defending while drawing a new card each time. Your goal is to lower the opposing nexus to 0 points, which you can do in a number of methods, the best of which is to attack. Any attack (excluding Elusive units) can be blocked, but the goal of the game is to break through your opponent’s defenses using spells, unit abilities, and outright deception. But it’s Legends of Runeterra’s take on the mana system that sets it apart.
On mobile, Hearthstone popularized the mana-based concept, in which you play cards based on their cost with a slowly expanding pool of mana. However, mana was frequently wasted in Hearthstone due to a lack of cost-appropriate cards to play. Instead of throwing away surplus mana, Legends of Runeterra has devised a clever solution: a portion of it is redirected to your spell pool, thereby recycling the wasted potential into a new resource.
Spell mana is used to cast spells, as you would have guessed. Wonderful spells with a wide range of types and casting speeds. Your spell mana builds up to three points, allowing you to cast more potential magic per round without depleting your playing unit’s mana pool. But, you might ask, why would I desire magic when I can play a unit? In Legends of Runeterra, magic has the power to totally change the tide.
You can cast spells while blocking or attacking, allowing you to completely change the dynamics of a battle. The other player can also cast spells at the same time, either negating yours or adding another impact to the mix. It’s similar to poker in that you’re bluffing what you’ve got while simultaneously increasing the stakes with each spell you add.

The game is available for Microsoft Windows as well as the iOS and Android mobile operating systems.
