The game lacks polish, with a clunky UI and placeholder art that detracts from the overall experience.
There are significant balance issues between the two available decks, favoring one side and leading to a lack of counterplay.

The gameplay is reminiscent of Shadowverse, allowing players to execute multiple card plays in a single turn without interruption, which creates a unique flow compared to traditional card games. The two distinct decks (dovish and hawkish) offer varied strategies, though the current balance favors the hawkish side, leading to concerns about control and counterplay. While the mechanics show promise, they require refinement and a better tutorial to enhance the overall player experience.
- “The two decks (dovish/hawkish) play slightly differently, both with the ability to play control, burn, or attack face. At the time of this review, the balance is favored towards the hawkish side, as the dovish side prefers heavy control gameplay with an emphasis on level-ups and reinforcing the board, while the hawkish side has options to take control of opponent's hero cards simply by summoning alone, or sending hero cards to the graveyard, which they alone have access to, earning them significant card advantage with no real counterplay.”
- “So it's more like chess, with a lot more mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is very similar to Shadowverse (albeit without mana cost), where you can play your leader card, hero card, and spell card in one turn, without the fear of it getting interrupted or counterplayed like other card games, as there are no ways to interact with your opponent if it is not your turn.”
- “The two decks (dovish/hawkish) play slightly differently, both with the ability to play control, burn, or attack face, but at the time of this review, the balance is favored towards the hawkish side. The dovish side tends to favor heavy control gameplay with an emphasis on level-ups and reinforcing the board, whereas the hawkish side has options to take control of opponent's hero cards simply by summoning alone (including bosses), or sending hero cards to the graveyard, which they alone have access to, earning them significant card advantage with no real counterplay.”
- “Additionally, the game could benefit from a comprehensive tutorial, as new players are often left confused about how to properly engage with the game’s mechanics.”

The graphics have received mixed feedback, with many users noting that the card art and in-game assets appear to be placeholders, lacking polish and variety. While some appreciate the cartoonish style and animations, there is a consensus that the visuals need significant improvement and more customization options to enhance player experience. Overall, there are signs of potential, but the current aesthetic leaves much to be desired.
- “I love the artwork, animations, finding fun card combos, and actually relying on skill and my wits to win instead of random blind luck.”
- “Graphics - kind of cartoonish, but not really in a bad way.”
- “To conclude, the gameplay and its aesthetics need a lot of polish but I do see signs of promise in areas of the game.”
- “The card art and in-game assets seem like they are placeholders for the most part, including the UI, so I will not be talking about aesthetics here, as they are not set in stone and will only improve with time.”
- “With only a few customization options, the available characters aren't visually appealing, leaving players wanting more variety and better aesthetics.”
- “To conclude, the gameplay and its aesthetics need a lot of polish, but I do see signs of promise in areas of the game.”
