  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics are widely criticized for being amateurish, overly saturated, and difficult to look at, with a repulsive urban graffiti style and crude MS-Paint artwork that detracts from the experience. While some users note that one can eventually get used to the visuals, the overall consensus is that the graphics are poorly executed and off-putting.

    • “An enjoyable acid trip, if you can endure the visuals until you get used to them.”
    • “You get used to the visuals.”
    • “I'm currently learning about 3D graphics; to see how I can implement animated meshes into a game.”
    • ““Homemade TCG” is exactly what it says on the box: a really bad homemade amateur CCG deckbuilder with terrible mechanics and, somehow, even worse graphics.”
    • “This features really godawful MS-Paint art instead of real graphics.”
    • “There's a reason that video games aren't normally made with this art style... the brain just doesn't process it.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The gameplay is criticized for lacking a tutorial, making obscure mechanics difficult to understand, and featuring broken, overly complex mechanics. It is described as an amateurish, homemade card game with no meaningful progression or narrative, resulting in a frustrating experience despite some perceived charm.

    • “For my next card game, I would make the mechanics more simplified.”
    • “The art is ugly as sin and the mechanics broken as hell, but it's got soul.”
    • “The game also desperately needs a tutorial, so expect having to figure out yourself how the more obscure mechanics and keywords work.”
    • “"Homemade TCG" is exactly what it says on the box, a really bad "homemade" amateur CCG deckbuilder with terrible mechanics and, yet, somehow even worse graphics.”
    • “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music receives mixed feedback, with some finding it annoying and poorly executed despite its attempt to emulate classic Game Boy Yugioh themes, while others praise it as astounding and a perfect complement to the game’s overall experience.

    • “Mtg and ptcg are trash compared to this masterpiece; everything is perfect: the music, the art, the jokes, and the music is astounding.”
    • “All that said, the art and music are annoying.”
    • “The music is clearly trying to resemble the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance Yu-Gi-Oh! game music, but ends up doing so much that it just sounds bad.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game exhibits stability issues, including glitches such as the bricklayer card not functioning properly for players.
