The gameplay features solid mechanics and an original mana system that requires players to discard cards, setting it apart from typical genre conventions. However, the game suffers from subpar graphics, a low player base, and is perceived as broken or unpolished despite recent updates. Overall, while the mechanics are generally well-received, the game's execution leaves much to be desired.
“The gameplay works well and the system is original in some points, like having to discard cards to get mana, unlike the majority of games in the genre where it increases automatically every turn.”
“Pretty good mechanics.”
“The battlefield idea and overall game mechanics are decent, but this is a fairly broken/unpolished product despite the recent patch.”
“The mechanics of the game are okay enough.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for being overly restrictive, forcing players to complete tutorial missions without the option to explore other content. After finishing the story, the only available activity is ranked battles, and there is a lack of a dedicated NPC mode that offers varied tasks outside of standard gameplay scenarios.
“It puts you on an odd tutorial rail from which there is no escape; you can't do anything else in the game except the tutorial missions until they're finished.”
“- Ranked battles are the only thing to do after the story.”
“- There is no NPC mode or just story that gives you different tasks without standard situations.”
