Play it if you…
Good fit- Deckbuilding fans who want a story campaign with named realms and characters
- Strategy players who enjoy balancing attacks and defense across several lanes
- Card-game players who prefer drafting a deck before a consecutive-win run
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a short, self-contained campaign may find 50 scenarios a substantial commitment
- Players who dislike repeated run attempts may not enjoy a draft mode that ends when a battle is lost
- Players seeking a game focused on real-time action rather than card and dice decisions
- Players who want a deck built around a single faction rather than combinations of up to three
Our take on Nine Realms: Revolt
The campaign pitch centers on a broad journey across the realms, but the listed structure is built around 50 separate scenarios, each with its own opponent and deck. That makes the campaign’s progression scenario-based rather than one uninterrupted sequence of battles.
What is Nine Realms: Revolt?
Nine Realms: Revolt is a story-led deckbuilding game set after Ragnarok.
Play as Fjolnir, a young light elf, and travel across the realms to recruit allies and challenge Revna, who has taken control of Asgard. The campaign contains 50 scenarios, each with its own story, dialogue, enemies, and deck. Unlock more than 135 cards from five factions, then build decks using up to three factions. Battles take place across three lanes, each with a banner.
Units, traps, spells, and dice shape each round; victory comes from destroying the opponent’s three banners while defending yours. Units can attack any lane but defend only their own, and cannot defend after attacking that round. Draft mode offers a separate run: choose from groups of three cards to make a 40-card deck, then try to win six battles in a row.
