BattleForge is an online card-based real-time strategy (RTS) game.
On its initial release in early 2009, the game revolved around trading, buying and winning through means of micro-transactions, though micro-transactions were not required for playing the game, only for buying new cards. On May 2009, BattleForge became a Play 4 Free branded game with fewer cards initially available (32 cards and no points). The retail version comes with all of the starter decks (One for each element, 64 cards) and 3,000 BattleForge points.
The games virtual currency is now distributed to each player on a 1 point per day basis, but only if the player has played at least 15 minutes that day. Through this, all micro-transactions are available to all players, but doing them without purchasing the retail version of the game or any virtual currency is possible, only slow.
Genre: Card Based RTS
Time to Play: Days
Difficulty: medium

There are a total of 383 cards available, almost equally divided between the powers of fire, frost, nature, and shadow. With a recent update, there are now combinations of shadow/fire, frost/nature, frost/shadow and fire/nature, as well as legendary cards. Players can buy and sell cards at an in-game auction house, using BattleForge Points (BF Points), an in-game currency. Players can also invite each other to conduct a direct trade.
There is a PvE mode (player versus environment) and a PvP mode (player versus player). In the PvE mode, players can complete missions. Some of these missions can only be played by 1 player, while others can be played with 2, 4 or 12 players. There are three modes available in missions: standard, advanced and expert. In order to unlock advanced and expert modes, players will have to complete the series of missions on standard mode first. The rewards for the missions are gold, card upgrades and PvE experience points. These experience points will increase a player's PvE level.
For PvP, players can choose between ranked and unranked PvP. Unranked PvP will not give any rewards, but can be useful for testing cards and strategies or for a simple, friendly match. Ranked pvp will give players gold, Elo points and tokens as reward. Gold and tokens can be traded for card upgrades, while ELO points will increase a player's PvP level.
