Between scenes, players can roam around the school and the surrounding area in a good number of fully 3D environments. There are collectibles to grab, side characters to chat up, and a few bonus objectives hidden around each map. On top of that, there's a Persona 4-style set of quests that lets players dive deep into their relationship with each of the main characters, and it's all done surprisingly well considering the source material. It's a real effort at worldbuilding that pays off in a big way, especially when compared to the typical gaming adaptions of Yu-Gi-Oh! and other card game anime. Instead of just mindlessly deck editing and grinding through tournaments, the story part of the campaign plays out like an authentically enjoyable Saturday morning cartoon with the player as the star.","https:\u002F\u002Fscreenrant.com\u002F\u002Fshadowverse-champions-battle-game-review\u002F","2021-08-10","8",80,{"id":49,"author":50,"outlet":53,"summary":58,"review_url":59,"review_date":45,"original_score":60,"normalized_score":61},78662,{"id":51,"name":52},5583,"Nic Bunce",{"id":54,"logo":55,"name":56,"website_url":57,"score_format":42},56,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FTheSixthAxis-Logo.jpg","TheSixthAxis","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thesixthaxis.com\u002F","I have really enjoyed Shadowverse, and I will no doubt keep this on my Switch as my go-to game when I’m stuck on the Tube.
