  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it overly simplistic and frustrating due to a lack of clear explanations for its mechanics. While some appreciate the variety of cards and unique mechanics, others criticize the steep learning curve and generic feel, leading to confusion and a lack of enjoyment. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant improvements in tutorial guidance and balancing to enhance the player experience.

    • “You then get a brief tutorial covering the basics of gameplay before being placed on an adventure map with a main quest and some side quests.”
    • “One of the best features of this game is that the gameplay of different races differs from each other.”
    • “Gameplay, game mechanics, drawing - on the level!”
    • “Such unexplained mechanics (at least that I could find) made learning from my failures quite frustrating.”
    • “The gameplay is incredibly simplistic: you play one card, then your opponent plays one card, and then cards across from each other fight — mechanics that can be found in a million trash mobile games.”
    • “There are just way too many 'WTF' moments where things happen with no explanation that might make sense to someone who's already heavily invested in the mechanics of the game, but if you're just picking it up, you're left scratching your head as to what just happened and why.”
  • story
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as original and engaging, with a mix of main quests and non-linear side quests that provide context before battles. However, players express frustration over the reliance on external comments for understanding the narrative and the limitations on replaying missions, particularly noting a challenging fourth mission that can hinder progress. Overall, while the storyline is appreciated, the execution of the campaign and mission structure has room for improvement.

    • “Each quest gives you a little context before the battle begins (although in a nice touch, there are ways to talk your way past some battles).”
    • “Both gameplay and storyline are original.”
    • “Completely loved the storyline.”
    • “A review of the discussion makes it seem that the developer expects us to read page after page of comments outside of the game to learn how to play it, or even to understand the story!”
    • “The only other battle I had was some random quest I was given on the campaign and I absolutely had no idea what the hell I was doing; the only thing I did was playing cards and then they would fight on their own against whatever the opponent was playing. Indeed, the interface has been terribly executed.”
    • “Can't progress beyond the mission 'unknown order'.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the graphics of the game receive a mixed but generally positive reception. Many users praise the artwork and illustrations as beautiful and impressive, particularly highlighting the unique hand-drawn style and quality visuals. However, some reviewers find the graphics to be generic compared to industry standards, suggesting that while they are good, they may not stand out as exceptional in the collectible card game genre.

    • “Things that I can say about the game itself that it has wonderful graphics and soundtracks.”
    • “The graphics are good, very interesting storyline.”
    • “The hand-drawn artwork here is impressive to say the least.”
    • “The sounds, the graphics, and the mechanics in this game are all so utterly generic.”
    • “Fast paced with no instructions and no room for mistakes; original play style and quality artwork.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while some users appreciate the uplifting soundtrack that enhances the gaming experience, others have encountered significant issues with the game failing to launch properly, leaving them stuck on a logo with music. Additionally, there are complaints about the lack of an option to mute the music independently from other sound effects. Overall, the music is generally seen as fitting and enjoyable, but technical problems overshadow this aspect for many players.

    • “When it finally downloaded, I opened it and the soundtrack from the beginning made me conclude that this game has a future.”
    • “Things that I can say about the game itself are that it has wonderful graphics and soundtracks.”
    • “The music is pretty standard fantasy fare, but it's uplifting and it gets you in the mood for battle.”
    • “This game does not work.. it launches to a logo with music and then when the logo music is done it goes to more music but the logo is not gone and there is no game.. do not buy this until it is fixed, many people have this issue and the developer said he has no clue what causes it.”
    • “- no way to mute music without turning off the whole sound.”
    • “The music is pretty standard fantasy fare, but its uplifting and it gets you in the mood for battle.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a mixed bag; while some players report no glitches or lags during gameplay, others experience significant bugs, including random freezes and issues with the tutorial. Despite these problems, many find the game enjoyable when it runs smoothly, though the short game duration can lead to frustrating losses. Overall, stability remains a concern, with ongoing bugs affecting the experience.

    • “Game is confusing and buggy.”
    • “Although rather buggy at the time of writing this, when you can actually get a game going, this is a whole load of fun.”
    • “Big problems are random freezes and the fact that games are so short you lose if you haven't killed the AI boss in the first few turns.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is notable for lacking microtransactions, which is a refreshing change for players. However, some users express frustration over the perceived absence of advertised content, specifically regarding the availability of all cards.

    • “A rare game without microtransactions.”
    • “My biggest issue is that you seem to not have all the cards like they are advertising.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a non-linear campaign with replayable missions, enhancing its replayability compared to the early access version, which featured a linear campaign and non-replayable missions. This shift allows players to revisit and experience different outcomes, increasing the game's longevity and engagement.

    • “The non-linear campaign offers a variety of replayable missions, allowing players to experience different outcomes and strategies.”
    • “With its non-linear campaign structure, the game encourages players to revisit missions for a fresh experience each time.”
    • “The replayable missions in the non-linear campaign provide endless opportunities for exploration and experimentation.”
    • “The early access version features a linear campaign and lacks replayable missions, which significantly diminishes its replayability.”
    • “The game promises a non-linear campaign with replayable missions, but the early access version falls short with a strictly linear experience.”
    • “I was disappointed to find that the early access version only offers a linear campaign and no option for replaying missions.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The grinding feels endless and often pointless, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “I find myself spending hours grinding for minimal rewards, which quickly becomes frustrating.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
