The gameplay is praised for its cool mechanics, allowing for creative experimentation and design, particularly in card game creation. However, the optional DLC does not enhance gameplay and serves primarily as a means of supporting the developers. Players express a desire for more flexibility in managing abilities and mechanics, indicating that while the current system is functional, improvements could enhance the overall experience.
- “The gameplay features cool mechanics that enhance the overall experience.”
- “I have the ability to take advantage of a computer's AI, which allows me to experiment with the end result of entire card games I have created, helping me notice where changes need to be made to balance the decks or fix game mechanics that may seem fantastic on paper but don't work well in practice.”
- “Creating something like Magic: The Gathering with its land mechanics or the Pokémon TCG with evolutions and an energy system requires a bit of creative problem-solving.”
- “DLC is purely optional and adds no gameplay - simply a workaround for Steam not having a 'pay what you want' option.”
- “The DLC does not add any gameplay content; it's optional to support the dev if you'd like to.”
- “Setting an ability to restore the health of a unit at the end of each turn takes up valuable space on the card, and if I wanted to make that a game mechanic, it'd have to be on every single card.”

Players find the grinding aspect tedious, as accumulating a large number of random cards leads to difficulties in organizing and locating specific cards, making the overall experience frustrating.
- “After a short while of making random cards, I found that there's no general way to organize them, so having a lot of cards makes finding specific ones more difficult and tedious.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
- “I spent hours grinding for resources, only to realize that the rewards weren't worth the time invested.”

The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and glitches, impacting overall stability. However, the developers are actively addressing these issues through frequent updates and are receptive to community feedback, suggesting potential improvements in future patches.
