    The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and innovative mechanics, blending elements of card games, autobattlers, and team management in a unique way. While some players find the initial learning curve steep and express frustration with certain mechanics, many appreciate the depth and strategic opportunities available, leading to an engaging experience overall.

    • “I get bored and don't enjoy long stretches of playing the game because I get a little frustrated with the mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay tutorials are lacking; the management ones were better, but once the gameplay clicked with me, I really enjoyed it.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing the 3D visuals as unattractive while appreciating the unique art style of the 2D elements and pixel character designs. Despite the limited graphical quality, many acknowledge the developers' focus on gameplay over visuals, and some artwork appears to be AI-generated, adding to the game's distinctiveness.

    • “The design of the game, considering its budget and the use of generative AI art, is surprisingly unique.”
    • “The artwork is great; I like the pixel character art.”
    • “So, let's get down to business: the 3D graphics are fugly!”
    • “Just to note, some of the artwork in the game does seem to be AI generated.”
    • “The amount of these visuals you have to stomach is actually quite limited, as the majority of the game is 2D strategy.”
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it generic and lacking variety, while others describe it as basic yet not entirely unpleasant.

Additionally, technical issues like stuttering during music transitions have been noted, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

    • “There seems to be a lack of variety in soundtracks.”
    • “Also, the background music is generic and annoying.”

    • “Once you've completed the game, there's little reason to go back, as the gameplay remains largely unchanged.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be engaging, with a good balance between farming and strategic build synergies, particularly for discard. The managerial elements are not seen as tedious, allowing for meaningful decisions that can significantly impact the outcome of matches.

    • “The amount of time required to level up or gather resources is frustrating and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”

  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, including stuttering and delays during transitions, which detracts from the overall experience. While players enjoy the gameplay loop, the performance problems, particularly during music changes and screen transitions, are notable drawbacks.
