GayGamer writes: "BattleForge had 200 cards at release (though 120 more have been added in the recent Renegade update), each of which were divided into four "colors": Frost, Shadow, Nature and Fire. To use a card requires a corresponding Orb of the same color-- Orbs themselves are obtained by capturing Monuments on the game playfield, while Power Wells are the game's resource. Power Wells represent a finite number of resource points that trickle over to the player over time until they run out, but the more Wells you hold the faster you will receive resource points."
Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
