The gameplay is characterized by a unique deck-building approach with varied mechanics, though it suffers from a lack of depth and meaningful progression. While the game offers enjoyable moments and interesting mechanics, such as a fusion system and event ordering, it is hindered by prolonged battles and shallow strategies. Overall, it provides a decent experience for a free game, but may not engage players seeking more complex gameplay.
- “A good deck-builder, has few cards, but very various mechanics with its cards... not just another flavor of damage.”
- “10 hours of gameplay went by instantly, very enjoyable.”
- “This game is very interesting because it really tries to make this formula its own by tweaking a lot of the regular gameplay elements from this genre (for example you decide the order of the events and combat) and is of surprisingly good quality for a free game.”
- “And having 2 resources (mana and action) to manage is the illusion of deep gameplay, when it is only annoying to keep track.”
- “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
- “It's got cute graphics, and the gameplay is okay, but in its current state, the game is actually not very interesting or engaging at all.”
