BattleForge is a discontinued video game that was developed by EA Phenomic and published by Electronic Arts in 2009.
On September 4, 2013, EA announced the closing of the game in an email to registered players, effective October 31, 2013.
The economy of the game was overhauled to make it no longer possible to buy battleforge points with money, as that would go against the agreement with EA.
Through this, all micro-transactions were available to all players, but doing them without purchasing the retail version of the game or any virtual currency was possible, only slow.
There were a total of 383 cards available, almost equally divided between the powers of fire, frost, nature, and shadow.
Unranked PvP would not give any rewards, but could be useful for testing cards and strategies or for a simple, friendly match.
Gold and tokens could be traded for card upgrades, while ELO points would increase a player's PvP level.
The Twilight Edition consisted of 200 cards in total, i.e. 50 units, buildings and spells for each of these powers.
It expanded the BattleForge card set with legendary units and monumental buildings from the Southern Wastes region of Nyn.
The Lost Souls Edition was released on February 9, 2010, with a total of 60 brand new and unique units.
The Rebirth Edition was not in the original game, but contains the new cards being released through the revival Skylords Reborn.
