Our Expert Score

90/100

Shards of Infinity is the spiritual successor to Ascension that fans have been waiting for, and this digital port by Temple Gates Games is absolutely flawless. The game introduces a brilliant 'Mastery' mechanic that solves the age-old deckbuilding problem of games dragging on too long. By increasing your mastery, you can eventually trigger a win condition regardless of your deck's size, adding a layer of strategic tension that keeps every match tight.

The UI is clean and the AI is surprisingly formidable—it doesn't just make random moves; it punishes your mistakes. The ability to use 'Mercenaries' immediately from the center row adds a tactical 'buy-and-fire' element that prevents opponents from hate-drafting your key cards. It’s easily one of the best deckbuilders on the App Store, offering deep strategy with a very low barrier to entry.
