The gameplay of the game features a unique deck-building and dueling concept, but many players find it overly reliant on a rock-paper-scissors mechanic, leading to shallow combat experiences. While the strategic elements and hacking mechanics are praised, the overall lack of depth and variety in enemy types detracts from the enjoyment. As the game is still in development, there is hope for improvements, but significant changes to core mechanics may be necessary for a more engaging experience.
“Haxity is a phenomenal card collection & deck building game that takes a rather simple rock-scissors-paper mechanic and turns it into an unexpectedly deep strategic battle.”
“Sweet mechanics, hacking in response is awesome!”
“Summary: the art is fantastic and the gameplay is unique, so if you like this genre, it's worth a buy... with the caveat that it's still in development, and as such there's not much of a story yet and only has a few opponent types.”
“The combat actually just ended up feeling really shallow and there are only three types of enemies to fight based on my two hours of gameplay.”
“But none of this overcomes the complete lack of gameplay.”
“Until they change the mechanic to pass the phase, once both players have passed, I would probably stay away from.”
