  • The game features fun and unique mechanics that make it engaging and enjoyable.
  • It has nice visuals and a good atmosphere, contributing to a relaxing gameplay experience.
  • Players appreciate the potential for depth in gameplay, with a mix of card-flipping and exploration.
  • The game is essentially an advertisement for a product that doesn't exist yet, leading to confusion and disappointment.
  • It lacks the quality and depth expected from a full game, feeling more like a poorly executed mobile app.
  • Public reception has been overwhelmingly negative, with very few players engaging with the game.
  • monetization
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of this game is criticized for being essentially an advertisement masquerading as a product, offering no real value to gamers. Users express frustration over misleading marketing practices that prioritize visibility over genuine game development, arguing that such tactics detract from the gaming experience and mislead consumers. Overall, the sentiment is that this approach is harmful and unworthy of gamers' time and investment.

    • “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its unique mechanics and engaging card-based system, offering a fun and strategic experience that encourages players to make thoughtful decisions. While the mechanics are enjoyable and the card-flipping adds excitement, some players feel that the game could benefit from more variety in weapons and enemies. Overall, the gameplay is described as interesting and entertaining, with a strong potential for future updates and expansions.

    • “Fun card game with unique gaming mechanics.”
    • “Nice weapon mechanics, so sometimes you have to make an unobvious choice from your weapon.”
    • “Gameplay is interesting; you don't know what waits for you on the other side of the opening card, which is very exciting, and then you need to think wisely about your move.”
    • “It's just gameplay.”
    • “I died the first few times because I did not take it too seriously, but pulled up my big boy pants, focused on the mechanics, played consistently with the conflicts and cards in my hand, and finished the prologue.”
    • “The card-flipping mechanic reminds me of a quirky solitaire, which I dig.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely considered predictable and lacks depth, with a prologue that sets up a straightforward plot but fails to engage players beyond the initial chapters. While there are some dialogues that hint at character motivations, the overall narrative does not evolve significantly after the prologue, leaving players with limited story progression.

    • “The prologue offers you a very predictable plot up to chapter 5, but the game will let you keep playing past that chapter without any restriction, though there won't be any boss fights or new story progression.”
    • “The plot, I wasn't actually paying attention to it, but based on the few dialogues between the fox and Doc, I was already thinking that the guy was evil, and he actually is; that's how the prologue story ends.”
    • “Or at least that's what I think the plot is.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music receives mixed reviews, with the main menu and chapter map tracks criticized for being anticlimactic and undermining the game's seriousness. In contrast, the stage and battle music, especially during intense encounters, is praised as a refreshing improvement that enhances the overall experience. Players are advised to focus on the gameplay despite the distracting chapter board music.

    • “If a monster is found, and there are adjacent monster cards hidden, they will show up, and the battle will get more serious (with even a music change).”
    • “The music of the stages and the battle (when you're ambushed by more than one monster) is actually fine.”
    • “Actually, it's a breath of fresh air after listening to... whatever that music from the main menu and chapter map is.”
    • “Like, seriously, that music makes you lose all seriousness you could have in the game, and makes it look like some silly, stupid journey (which actually seems to be).”
    • “Just be careful not to let the chapter board music remove all seriousness you have to spend planning your moves on the stages.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are highly praised for their appealing art style and beautiful visuals, contributing to an immersive experience. Players appreciate the ambient design, with hopes for future enhancements like voice acting to further enrich the gameplay.

    • “Love the art style, and maybe in the future there will be voice acting to further immerse the player.”
    • “Nice visuals and ambient.”
    • “Cool game with really pretty graphics.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the grinding aspect of the game is excessively time-consuming, often requiring a significant investment of effort akin to having a second life to fully engage with it.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I spent hours grinding, and it felt like I made no progress.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted as both very funny and engaging, with interesting mechanics that enhance the comedic experience.

    • “The humor in this game is incredibly clever and keeps you engaged.”
    • “I love the witty dialogue and hilarious character interactions.”
    • “The funny mechanics add a unique twist that makes the gameplay even more enjoyable.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is characterized as light and relaxing, complemented by engaging situations that enhance the overall experience.

    • “A very light and relaxing roguelike with a captivating atmosphere and intriguing situations.”
