The gameplay is characterized by its addictive card and dice mechanics, appealing visuals, and a mix of humor and pop culture references, making it enjoyable for fans of board games. While the mechanics are generally simple and easy to grasp, some players find the gameplay can become repetitive, particularly against AI opponents, and there are concerns about balance and depth. Overall, the game offers a fun experience with potential for strategic play, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its niche humor and gameplay style.
- “Amazing cardboard game with beautifully drawn visuals, addictive gameplay with tactics, collectibles, a tense main story, and side quests full of funny, recognizable characters packed with humor and a lot of references and parodies.”
- “The mechanics of the game are simple but have enough variety to make it interesting, and each game is relatively short, making it perfect when you want a quick game.”
- “Gameplay-wise, it may strike as very random at first, and it is, but as soon as you get the mechanics and start building a strategy, you can curve the odds in your favor.”
- “You have to restart from the beginning of a level, which usually means 5-15 minutes of gameplay lost.”
- “The game isn't well balanced, there's no tutorial and you never get a clue as to what the mechanics of the game actually are.”
- “Not a thumbs up at this point, however, because when it comes to strategic gameplay there's not really a lot to it unfortunately.”

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, featuring a vibrant and engaging art style that combines cartoonish elements with humor and numerous references. While some players appreciate the aesthetic and find it appealing, others criticize it for being messy and overly reliant on memes, which can detract from the overall experience.

- “I love the art style and the many, many easter eggs in it.”
- “The graphics are beautiful.”
- “The art style and sound effects are top-notch.”
- “The visuals are a bit messy and it’s not presented in a way where you can tell what’s going on at a glance.”
- “Overall, it has a very 'flash phone game' aesthetic and feel to it.”
- “I'm not a fan of the game's art style, and the game uses far too many memes in its jokes/card art to the point where it danced dangerously with the line between 'referential humor' and outright plagiarism due to a poverty of ideas.”

The game's story is characterized by its humorous and whimsical tone, filled with references and parodies, though some players feel it tries too hard with its jokes. While the main narrative and side quests are engaging, the execution suffers from unclear mission objectives and technical issues, such as frequent crashes and glitches. Overall, the storyline is seen as light and entertaining, but lacks depth and polish, especially in its early access state.
- “Amazing card-board game with nicely drawn visuals, addictive gameplay with tactics, collectibles, a tense main story, and side quests full of funny recognizable characters packed with humor and a lot of references and parodies.”
- “The story is very funny and the game itself is great fun, too.”
- “Nicely drawn, silly story with all the tropes and homage, but fun.”
- “The writing and storyline did not seem particularly fleshed out, but being in early access, I had no problems with it.”
- “Without spoiling anything (at this point there really isn't much to spoil), the opening starts with a long crawl of text (yes, like Star Wars) that has a lot of words which provided a sentence's worth of story and an obscene amount of jokes/references that fell flat at their best, and were irritating at their worst.”
- “It's got a good challenge level, not too hard and not too easy, with a loose storyline and some very quick dialogue and scenes between matches.”

Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it limited due to the lack of significant differences between classes and the predictability of side characters, others appreciate the ability to build decks and gain new cards, leading to a more engaging experience. Despite some reservations, many agree that the gameplay's strategic depth and humor provide enough incentive for multiple playthroughs.
- “Replayability: yes”
- “The replay value is relatively high; you can gain more cards and heroes, build decks, and play consistently without it being a repetitive experience.”
- “I'm not sure if I will go back and play it again to try out deck builds, so I'd say the replay value isn't huge.”
- “The game doesn't really have any replayability because starting with a different class for your main character doesn't add anything to the experience since you can just switch to one of the side characters and you'll pretty much know what the other classes offer.”
- “With that being said, you cannot go wrong with spending five dollars on a game with such a high level of gameplay, strategy, humor, and replay value.”
stability

The game's stability is a mixed bag; while it boasts high production values and is less buggy than some competitors, players have reported various glitches and counting errors, particularly in its early access phase. Despite these issues, there is optimism about its potential for improvement and future success in the PvP arena.
- “When I first played the game, it was buggy: there was no game where I crashed and got out.”
- “From simple glitches: if a minion beats another minion but the beaten minion sometimes stays with 0 health (only optical), to counting bugs: some rare times you roll a 5 and the hero only goes 3 fields forward (not stopped by a taunt minion).”
- “It is early access and as such has some glitches and issues, but I can definitely see this becoming a great PvP game in the future.”
