The gameplay is described as fun and engaging, with a variety of mechanics and strategies to explore, though it may take some time to fully grasp the complexities involved. Players appreciate the different bosses and the ability to experiment with compositions, but some find the instructions for creatures unclear and the randomness frustrating. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable mechanics and potential, it feels somewhat incomplete and could benefit from clearer explanations and more 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 two 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, causing one or two words to 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.”

Players express that grinding in the game can be excessively time-consuming, often requiring a significant investment of time to become familiar with the units. However, some appreciate the absence of unnecessary quests and find the gameplay enjoyable and fast-paced, suggesting a potential for future content that could enhance the experience.
“I love the rogue-like elements, the synergistic gameplay, and the fun, fast-paced action. There's no grinding or useless quests, which is a great promise for additional 'minions' hopefully.”
“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.”
