Gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a variety of mechanics and strategies that can take time to master, with players appreciating the different bosses and the ability to track performance metrics. However, some users find the gameplay boring due to unclear instructions and a lack of depth in mechanics, leading to a sense of randomness that can detract from the experience. Overall, while the game shows potential and offers casual fun, it feels somewhat incomplete and could benefit from clearer explanations and more robust options.
“Gameplay is fun - there are a lot of stats flying around and it can take a little time to get used to what's happening, but sticking with it will make that easier. Seeing the top-3 DPS after each fight helps tell you what's working well in your composition.”
“I love that there are 2 different bosses, and each has completely different creatures and mechanics to learn.”
“You have options to remove units already on the board from the deck before the next round and have some limited re-rolls on the unit/equipment rewards. I really like the mechanics and ability to try different strategies, though the randomness can sometimes screw you, but such is the case for roguelikes.”
“Just insanely boring gameplay; most of the creatures you get have instructions that aren't very clear, and you end up just randomly clicking what you believe to be good, but chances are it's not worth $10.”
“It takes a couple of games to get the hang of the mechanics, and some cards aren't exactly clear on what they do, or the text is too long for the size of the card and one or two words get cut off.”
“But it also lacks a lot of everything from options to explaining certain mechanics or monsters better (or maybe just a translation issue?), and it just feels incomplete - it also says version 0.9 but there is no early access tag.”

“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“I feel like there's a UX problem inherent to the game where it's okay once you get familiar with all the units, but it's tedious parsing what you have initially.”
