Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players finding it intriguing and addictive, while others criticize its unintuitive mechanics and lack of depth. Many note that the game feels simplistic and repetitive, often relying on a grind to unlock cards, which can lead to a frustrating experience. Overall, while it has potential and appeals to newcomers, more experienced players may find it lacking in complexity and engagement compared to other trading card games.
- “The gameplay is intriguing and addictive, the fantasy background is well-established, and it's full of surprises with new cards and a combo system.”
- “As a first-time TCG player, I'd say this game is pretty entertaining, with decent gameplay and fascinating animations.”
- “Having a randomized deck has been a great way to learn the gameplay without the stress of building a deck.”
- “Boring gameplay, terrible starter decks, pointless campaign mode and anyone who says that an online card game isn't pay to win are lying.”
- “Generally, the gameplay is just AI fights over and over again with no story in between.”
- “Two things that come to mind are how you have to grind losses to level and have little control over gameplay since you unlock cards depending on how you play.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for lacking depth and engagement, with players noting that the single-player campaign consists mainly of repetitive AI battles and minimal narrative content. While there are daily quests and side activities, the overall experience is described as boring and devoid of a compelling storyline, making it less appealing for those seeking a rich RPG narrative.
- “There is a singleplayer campaign that you can play through, and after that, there are daily quests and some side quests too.”
- “Even if you can't/don't want to, there's a nice campaign and quest mode, where you can just play and collect cards.”
- “A lot of depth in strategy, a ton of things to do like some good game modes to play and quests, etc., and a hell of a good game.”
- “However, the story mode/campaign sucks and is kind of a bore.”
- “There is no real story and the campaign is simply you fighting random AI over and over again.”
- “Generally, the gameplay is just AI fights over and over again with no story in between.”

grinding
6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring real money purchases to progress effectively. The slow interface and cumbersome mechanics further exacerbate the frustration, making it difficult to engage in fair matches without significant investment in time or money. Overall, the grinding experience is viewed as a major drawback that detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “So this is the way how the game evolves into higher level as time goes on and if you want to win any fights soon enough, you will have to buy gold with real money; grinding can take forever.”
- “However, this game has some big problems: the interface is too slow, you have to confirm phase ends more than necessary, and instead of keeping a running total of both players' numbers, it tediously adds them up once every two turns with a remarkably slow animation. Additionally, character levels add to your core numbers, making it practically impossible to find a fair fight with fewer than 5000 players online.”
- “The tediousness of looking it over and reading the 'extra detail' which I think should be there automatically anyway, and then the help stopped after like three rounds.”
monetization
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
150%
The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on collectibles and microtransactions, which has drawn mixed reactions from users. While some appreciate the variety of collectibles, others criticize the reliance on microtransactions for progression or enhanced experiences.
- “The game is riddled with microtransactions that make it feel more like a cash grab than a fun experience.”
- “Collectibles are locked behind paywalls, which ruins the enjoyment of exploring the game.”
- “The constant push for in-game purchases detracts from the overall gameplay and makes it frustrating.”
replayability

The game lacks significant replay value, offering limited incentives to return after the initial playthrough. However, it still provides an enjoyable experience for a short period.
- “It doesn't have the replay value you would hope for, but it's, overall, a fairly good way to waste a day or two.”
