Change List: *New artwork added *Demo updated
- March Update and Story Mode Conclusion - 7 March 2020
Version 0.6.8 Change Log *Ranked Play Season 1 continues! *1 cost energy gain units nerfed to *Chapter 3 of Story Mode is out now! Info on Ranked Play Season 1: During the period of January 10th to April 10th, players may submit their scores to the leader boards. All players who submit a score with at least 15 games or more will gain this seasons exclusive spell book skin. More on the nerf: Units with the following skill ":When (condition), gain 1 Life." have been changed to ": When (condition), gain 1 Life". This was to reduce the energy economy of the game, as it has been shown to be too easy for certain archetypes to gain more energy than others. Resulting in vastly over powered Nations. This has been changed to help balance the game.

- November Emergency Patch (Version 0.6.5) - 10 November 2019
Version 0.6.5 Change Log *Fixed a story mode A.I. glitch *Nerfed "Nuke" cards. Notes on Nuke cards: The prevalence of instant field resets was not health for this game. The only way to keep resources over multiple turns is to play the to the field. Therefore, having so many ways to instantly wipe those resources out was a poor design call. As such, field nuke cards have been nerfed.

- Online Play Bug Fixed - 6 November 2019
We have fixed the online play issue. All online modes are back up for all players. This problem was an odd one, and I'm not fully sure what the problem was in the first place. As such, this issue has the possibility of coming back in the future. If you find issues with connectivity coming in the November update, please let us know.
- Multiplayer Is Down - 21 October 2019
Bad news Card Battlers, multiplayer match making is currently not functioning. Recently, I have changed certain details of my Unity subscription and this caused some gears to grind. Here is the list of features currently unavailable: *Casual *Find Game *Create Game Ranked play should still be functional, but some issues with match making have been reported for that feature as well. For now, it's best to not use Ranked Play either. We are working as fast as we can to correct this issue, and multiplayer should be back up by the November update, or earlier. However, most of this is in Unity's hands and not ours. Sorry for the trouble. In the mean time, I recommend that y'all try out our excellent single player game modes. I am especially proud of story mode!
- Changes to Update Schedule - 8 October 2019
I have gotten a new job working as a card designer on another project. As such, Card Battle Spirit Link will be a weekend project for me for the foreseeable future.

*Upgraded in game Keyword Display *Changed to refresh on *New Art *Added Ranked Play Leader Board More on Ranked Play Leader Board: The Ranked Play Leader Board can be viewed from the Play menu in game, or the Steam Community tab in Steam.

Included was "Shinobi Trainee". This was done to give Drahon a real 0 Drop. *New Art More on the redesign: After much playtesting, it was decided that needed to be redesigned. During the initial design phase, had an archetypeal effect ':Destroy me at turn end' instead of ':Destroy me after my attack'. Due to the initial archetypeal effect, it was necessary to give a focus on . When the archetypeal effect was changed to what it is now, was kept on the cards. This resulted in 's downside of self destruction became an upside. With Cecelia bein…

Version 0.5.7 Change Log: *Changed starting life to 20 for the first player, and 23 for the second player. *Fixed a glitch with "Elder Warlock, Crinsceptus" Leader Power. Previously, the leader power would only activate if there was another Dinosaur in the drop zone after Banishing a card. This has been fixed. *"President's Determination" now grants +0/+8/+0 *New artwork and visual changes. More on changes to starting life: The new starting life amounts (20 and 23) have been implemented in a trial period. This change was made to slightly alter the pace of the game. The goal is to still have fast paced gameplay, yet enable all players to play the game the way they want. Ideally this new life total will let players have more consistent access to their desired combos.

Previously, 0 cost units had a vanilla base line of 1/1/2 and 1 cost units had a vanilla base line of 2/2/2. As such, players were paying 1 energy for a +1/+1 stat increase. This was not consistent with the cost/stat relationship and caused 0 drops to be overvalued. My apologies for this oversight. The issue has been resolved by adding an additi…
