Rage of the Immortals seems fun.

I've been recently pretty addicted to a GREE Free to play game called Rage of the Immortals.  I noticed the name of the game has been constantly changing.  When I first played at launch, it was called "War of Rivals", then they updated the title to "Elements of Fury", then "Fighting Fury", then "Infinity Fighter" and now "Rage of the Immortals".  I was super lucky when I used my 20 cash (the in game currency) and got an Ultra Rare card i.e. Nia.  Originally, she was one of the strongest card in the game, but now there are even more powerful ones.  At the beginning, the game started very easy, and then they made it too challenging.  I like the art style because it references a lot of my favorite fighting games such as King of Fighter, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and more.  The strategy of the game in order to progress is to "train" your strongest fighter (card) and "fuse" them with itself and start over when both of them are maxed.  Each card has an element which is similar to a Rock Paper Scissors mechanism i.e. Water > Fire > Shadow? > Earth > Lightning > Water...  The developer IUGO and GREE has been continuously balancing the game, and improving it.  It's very similar to another game they launched over a year ago called Knights & Dragons, which was one of the top grossing GREE published games on both Android and iOS.  I like how in Knights, you have guilds and be able to work together to win rewards, and pvp has different tiers of rewards so that you can use those rewards to progress through the game.  Hopefully, they also bring this feature to Rage of the Immortals, and be able to earn some awesome rewards.
