The gameplay has been criticized for its unclear instructions and lack of enjoyment, with some users comparing it unfavorably to other games like Yu-Gi-Oh and World War 2: Time of Wrath. Many feel it simply rehashes mechanics from older GBA games while introducing numerous broken elements, leading to a frustrating experience. Additionally, the presence of DLC that adds little value further detracts from the overall gameplay quality.
“It plays a lot like Yu-Gi-Oh, so if you're familiar with the basic mechanics of that game, you'll understand what you're doing here!”
“Unclear instructions, very little enjoyment on my end, and now it has dollar DLC that apparently adds almost no value to the gameplay.”
“The gameplay was so bad it's comparable to World War 2: Time of Wrath.”
“They just stripped it straight out of the GBA games and added a ton of broken mechanics to it.”

The music aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with users noting the complete absence of music and describing the overall audio experience as lacking depth and engagement. The tutorial is also mentioned as dry and uninviting, contributing to a negative impression of the game's atmosphere. Additionally, technical issues such as frequent crashes further detract from the experience.
“No music, bare bones; the tutorial is so dry it makes a skeleton look fatter.”
“Play any other card game on Steam that actually has music and depth to it.”
“Let's start with the basics: the game crashes multiple times, and it takes multiple attempts to open it. When you do, it immediately puts you in the main menu, and the game makes a split-second sound to show you that there is supposed to be music playing, but it's not.”
