“The unique progression system, which involves choosing a path from three cards at every turn, keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging.”
“Gameplay is simple but with depth to it; characters feel distinct, powers are impactful enough to drastically change playstyles, and card design does a lot with a little.”
“The mechanics are straightforward but the item combos and different characters can really turn every run into a unique and fun experience.”
“It's a fun game but like the other reviews have mentioned, the gameplay is quite limited and you will get bored of it pretty quickly once you work out the game.”
“Unfortunately after winning with all heroes I stopped, the gameplay is too identical for each hero, not much difference after understanding the winning strategy.”
“A bit too small, a bit too bite-sized, a bit too samey, would want more mechanics to interact with, more depth to different monsters and bosses, and more areas to travel through.”
