Many find the combat engaging and the card discovery system refreshing, but criticize the repetitive enemy design and poorly executed mechanics, such as the trading system and status effects. Overall, while the game offers a solid gameplay loop and immersive experience, it suffers from balance issues and a steep learning curve that can deter new players.
“Still has a good 10-15 hours of gameplay there for trying to do all 3 victory conditions and trying out the different races and classes.”
“There is more than enough variety here for a good gameplay loop and makes the game enjoyable even with the limited number of enemies.”
“The actual combat mechanics are really fun, and it's been exciting to explore what kind of card unlocks you can get by the way you build your character.”
“I have played D&D-based computer games since the original 'Quest for Glory' and have played many card tabletop games (like Gloomhaven), but I am confused by the game's mechanics.”
“The UI is not intuitive, which is compounded by a ton of status effects whose flavor text is not good enough to fully understand mechanics.”
“Right now, the game is a pretty decent deckbuilder with mostly solid mechanics, but really, really lacks variety and content currently.”
