20 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is polished and visually appealing, featuring unique mechanics that set it apart from other card games. However, experienced players may find it lacking in complexity and depth, with some mechanics feeling uninteresting or poorly designed. While the randomized card dealing can create engaging moments, the overall experience may feel derivative of existing mobile games.
“Polished, good looking, and with good flow; unique. In my experience, I have not played something that I would say is built on the same mechanics.”
“There's just something about having cards you wouldn't normally have that adds something new to the normal gameplay.”
“However, as the game progresses, you'll play two other characters with different approaches to the base combat mechanics of the game.”
“It's a good card game, but as an experienced card game fan, I was left wanting more complex and in-depth mechanics.”
“I can't say this offers more or less, but I didn't like that some of the mechanics are just not fun or don't really make sense. Anyway, it's nice looking and can be an interesting time waster.”
“Interesting idea, I feel like this is heavily copied from a mobile game that has the exact same concept/mechanic 'card crawl'.”
