Card Wars – Adventure Time
Everyone loves a good cartoon network game. These are just good light-hearted fun and Card Wars is no different.

You can build a custom deck with all the memorable Tekken fighters and choose your playable cards wisely to win the duels. Whether you launch an attack, initiate a block or draw new cards, you’ll want to think fast to ensure victory.
Fantasy Warlord
Fantasy Warlord is another anime themed card battler from Gamevil who also published Soccer Spirits. In Fantasy Warlord you’ll have different types of guardian cards to collect to use in battle, and if you find a specific guardian or guardians aren’t quite strong enough you can combine them create guardians which are more powerful. Gamevil has done well to make the game somewhat social as well by giving players the ability to chat with others and build an alliance.
Order And Chaos Duels
This title follows along the popular Order And Chaos universe from Gameloft. It features a decent selection of collectable cards to build up a strong deck to vanquish your enemies, whether they be computer based in the single player mode, or real players in the intense PvP battles.
Eredan Arena
This card battler is a tad bit different from some of the others which focus on building up a large deck. You choose 5 characters (heroes) from your deck to do battle using what the game calls a “dice trigger” to cast your attacks. The more you battle the more xp you gain and your heroes can evolve into stronger versions. There are 0ver 120 heroes total, but more are continuously being added on a weekly basis. Eredan also has a slightly anime inspired art style, so if you enjoy that sort of thing this might be right up your alley.

Magic hardly needs an introduction as it was one of the card battlers to make the genre popular back in the day. This is the latest version of their digital adaptions, and it’s just what you’d expect from a card battler. It requires strategy and a little bit of common sense, as well as a little bit of luck with collecting good cards. You can also craft your own cards and once you feel strong enough, you can do battle against online opponents.
Hearthstone
This might as well be the only card battler for many gamers. It’s based on Blizzard’s popular World of Warcraft universe, and it’s got a massive library of collectible cards and cards you can craft. Build you ultimate deck and take it out for a spin against online opponents, or start off small by going through the different campaigns.
