About this game

In this strategy card game, skill defines your success—not luck. Mix and match iconic champions, allies, and regions of Runeterra to unlock unique card synergies and outplay your opponent.

MASTER EVERY MOMENT
Dynamic, alternating gameplay means you can always react and counter, but so can your opponent. Choose from dozens of champion cards to include in your deck, each with a different mechanic inspired by their original League of Legends abilities.

Champions enter the battle as powerful cards, and if you play smart, they level up to become even more epic. Level your champions multiple times in-game, and earn Champion Mastery crests the more you play.

ALWAYS A NEW WAY TO PLAY
Every champion and ally in the game comes from a region of Runeterra. You have access to a collection of cards from nine regions: Demacia, Noxus, Freljord, Piltover & Zaun, Ionia, Targon, Shurima, the Shadow Isles, and Bandle City.

Explore how different champions and regions work together to give you unique advantages against your opponents. Combine, adapt, and experiment with frequent new releases in an always-evolving meta.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH
In PvE, each card you choose shapes your journey. React to unique encounters, earn and equip power-ups, unlock new champions, and rise to new challenges as you move across the map. The enemies will get stronger, but so will you—and you’ll discover different endings the more you play.

PLAY TO WIN, NOT PAY TO WIN
Earn cards for free, or buy exactly what you want with shards and wildcards—you’re in control of your card collection, and you’ll never pay for random packs of cards. While there’s always the option to purchase specific champions, you can easily complete your collection without spending a cent.

Victory or defeat, each battle brings experience and progress. Choose which region you explore first and unlock the cards that call to you, changing regions as often as you like. As you advance, you’ll collect new allies, spells, and champions.

Once a week, you’ll also unlock chests from the Vault. These chests level up the more you play, increasing the rarity of cards inside from common all the way up to epic. They can also contain wildcards, which can be turned into any card you want—no guessing required.

DRAFT AND ADAPT
Labs are limited-time experimental strategic game modes focused on more extreme changes to the classic Legends of Runeterra formula. Choose a premade deck with specific constraints, or bring your own. The rules are always changing, and sometimes you might need a little help from your friends! Go see what Heimerdinger is cooking up next.

CLIMB THE RANKS
At the end of every season, 1024 qualifying Ranked players on each of LoR’s four regional shards (Americas, Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia) will be able to compete for pride, glory, and a cash prize in the seasonal tournament.

But Ranked play isn’t the only way to qualify—you can also run the Last Chance Gauntlet. Gauntlets are limited-time competitive modes with unique rules to play around and exclusive rewards to unlock.

Ratings and reviews

This porting of the PC game by Riot is awsome. Very few thing are changed from the original version and the touch-screen inputs are precise and responsive. As for the gameplay, it is fresh and innovative and the new expansion that comes with the official release is very interesting and really succedes in making the game new and never boring.

Absolutely phenomenal, easily the best CCG I've ever played. The progression system is incredibly fair. The gameplay itself is great; it took me a while to understand the turn structure, but once it clicks it's fairly simple, yet deep. The best part IMO is the deck building: you can get insanely creative, and your deck will probably work if there's any synergy, and it feels like solving a puzzle for every deck you build. You can come up with any deck ideas, and they might just work.

This is a wonderful game, best digital card games even despite the recent gutting of competitive play. Normally 5 stars. HOWEVER.... For two patches now I have an issue where I get logged out (android) every single week. It's very annoying, especially when I just wanna get in one or two quick games on a lunch break and I see that I've been logged out. Please fix.
