The music aspect of the game has received criticism for its inconsistent audio settings, where disabling sounds does not fully mute the music during gameplay. Additionally, players noted a lack of engaging music, with only minimal sound effects present, contributing to an overall unsatisfactory audio experience.
- “Its audio settings don't work: I disabled sounds, which silenced the title music, but then I started the game, and there was music and sound effects.”
- “No music, just a few sounds here and there. There is no tutorial, so you need to know the card game. The rulebook is a scan of the card game, hard to read and partly unnecessary. Animations are very bad; there's so much room for improvement.”
