The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring an innovative card-based system for building "link combos" and a fun, thought-provoking loop that encourages experimentation with different character builds. However, some users criticize the UI and control layout, likening it to a mobile or tablet game, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite these concerns, the gameplay is described as addictive and enjoyable, with potential for growth as more characters are introduced.
