The gameplay is praised for its innovative mechanics, such as the interrupt system and the light/dark dynamic, which add depth and strategy to encounters. While the game offers a variety of creative features and an intuitive design, players find it challenging to build and maintain a powerful deck due to the game's mechanics that weaken players over time. Overall, the gameplay combines familiar roguelike elements with unique twists, making it engaging yet complex.
“On the positive side, I really enjoyed the interrupt mechanic, which allows you to completely stop some powerful enemy attacks by hitting them enough times.”
“The game features an interesting light/dark mechanic that empowers certain cards, but it’s difficult to focus on one over the other when you need to take any good card you can get.”
“Played for a few hours, I was quite impressed with how intuitive (similar to other games in the genre/easy to start) and deep (enough new mechanics/twists to really make you think and have a good time) the game feels.”
“There are a number of new mechanics that make you weaker over the course of the game, not stronger.”
“The gameplay during fights is basically like most other roguelikes.”
