The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring an interesting take on the match-three genre with deep mechanics and diverse characters, but it suffers from issues like reliance on luck and pay-to-win elements that can overshadow strategy. While the core mechanics are smooth and engaging, many players express frustration over the game's difficulty balance and the impact of cash investments on competitive play. Overall, the concept is appealing, but the execution leaves room for improvement, particularly in ensuring a fairer and more strategic experience.
“The rules are simple but the mechanics are deep; you are offered magic books for an ad watch if you fall behind on your summons, allowing people to catch up for free.”
“Smooth gameplay, no annoying ads (unless you want to get some energy or refresh items in store), interesting battle mode.”
“As there are so many diverse characters and unique gameplay, it's been a while since I played a new type of game.”
“Extremely disappointing gameplay in that regard; skip the frustration and play something else.”
“Love the concept, but the game mechanics depend 99% on luck.”
“Devs hide bad reviews and give copy-paste responses. The random luck gameplay tied to poor unit progression makes it so matches can be won by turn 2.”
