The gameplay features a promising core loop but can become repetitive over time, with some players noting janky movement and frustrating enemy precision. While the mechanics allow for strategic play, they may lead to slow hit-and-run tactics that reduce the need for specialization. Overall, the gameplay offers cool elements but could benefit from refinement to enhance engagement.
“The core gameplay loop has a lot of potential.”
“At any time you can pull up your hand (pausing the gameplay) and play a card.”
“The gameplay loop starts to feel a bit repetitive after a while; it might just be my modern brain with no ability to focus.”
“It's fairly simple to abuse this mechanic to just wait out the timer and hop to the next floor.”
“This cuts down on specialization and makes for very slow hit-and-run gameplay.”
