About This Game Roll up your sleeves and lay down your cards! Urban Rival is a truly original, free, collectible card game. It is a game of skill.
Elmiraman, Great game - horrendous interface.I don’t write reviews very often but having been a fan of Urban Rivals for years, I felt compelled to write in hopes that the developers will effort to improve the interface and make it more intuitive for beginning and returning players. For example, trying to see how many cards of a specific team you possess is buried deeply within a submenu, not in collections, but rather in a semi-secret button under your profile page. Another would be a swiping mechanic to view cards in collections so that you don’t need to exit out of viewing a card back to the beginning of the entire list, but rather could swipe to see the next or prior card.
Another is the buying and selling mechanic - it can be done but not without a great search through the menus when it could be put in a prominent place because as any player of UR knows, the market is half the fun.Despite all this, the game is a blast, the artwork is fantastic and the collectivity of the cards make this game a winner. Thanks for reading. Noxsnyth, One of a kindI’ve played UR off and on for years and what’s always made me come back is the uniqueness of all its characters and battle system. Each clan feels different and allows a player to find their niche in how they play card games. My only criticisms come from how older cards are becoming out dated with new abilities, clan bonuses, and increases in power and damage of cards and that never once has this game failed to have bugs galore in deck management mode. Regardless, this game is worth your time.
Find a clan, get your bluff on, and never underestimate your urban rival.

Urban Rivals is an online multi-player card game. Each card represents a character (some of which are based on real people or well-known fictional characters). Each character has specific Power and Damage values, and belongs to a clan. Some cards have abilities that are either triggered or countered by another card's ability.
Free registration gives a player 8 character cards; further cards can be purchased. 4 new characters, usually for 4 different clans, are added every two weeks. Sometimes 6 characters are added, usually for a new clan. Usually every 6 months a new clan will come out; the most recent is the Vortex clan.
The game uses affiliate marketing to encourage existing players to recruit or sponsor new players; such sponsors can offer bonuses for purchases of credits, describing them as cheat codes.
An associated comic book is published online every month, with 9 panels each on the Urban Rivals official website. Sometimes this comic gives out hints of a new character or clan.
