The gameplay of this title features unique mechanics that differentiate it from traditional roguelike deckbuilders, particularly through its "break chain" system, which encourages strategic planning and chaining attacks between characters. While the core mechanics are generally easy to grasp, many players find that the more intricate elements lack clear explanations, potentially hindering deeper understanding. Overall, the game offers an engaging experience, though some feel it leans heavily towards offensive strategies, limiting playstyle diversity.
“Unlike other standard deckbuilder roguelikes, this game has an interesting mechanic called 'break chain' or what I call 'the buddy system', where if one of your characters depletes the enemy health bar, the other character can do a free attack, and you can chain it to a certain limit.”
“It has a reasonably unique style of gameplay, and I would say it's worth checking out.”
“The battle gameplay heavily emphasizes planning your breaks ahead of time to eliminate the enemies or stun them to prevent their turns.”
“Gameplay stinks.”
“Some of the mechanics/abilities are a bit unclear.”
“The general mechanic is easy to understand with a tutorial on each, but the more in-depth mechanics are not well explained or just not at all.”

“It's a different story when you play it.”
“I think the developers do have something good here, but the story is kind of lacking, and I found I just didn't care at all about the characters or the story to try another run.”
