The gameplay is praised for its unique mechanics and engaging battle system, featuring a variety of factions such as vampires, demons, and humans, which keeps it fresh and enjoyable. However, some players express disappointment over the lack of additional factions and the division of the player base due to multiple similar titles. Overall, the game is highly recommended for its captivating card art and strategic depth.
“This game is amazing, the factions, the gameplay, the cards and their visualizations are so amazing. I recommend this game 10/10.”
“The battle mechanics were pretty cool and the decks (and their card art) were really unique.”
“Well, where to start, it's a great game, which has the classic vampires, demons, humans, animals, and the undead, and some others. Although I hardly played this game, I could say that this may be close to beating Yu-Gi-Oh. However, the gameplay won't get old any time soon.”
“They've split their already small cult following into 3 by publishing 3 similar games with the same IP and similar gameplay.”
“The game is pretty much okay; it's the only game I find with these mechanics.”
“I just wish they made more factions like orcs, for example.”

The game's graphics are praised for their stunning art style and animated card designs, contributing to an engaging visual experience. However, some players have noted issues with slow controls and insufficient graphical feedback during gameplay, which can lead to confusion about actions taken. Overall, while the artwork is highly regarded, the user interface could benefit from improvements.
“Amazing animated artwork, cool factions, a great campaign, and free to play!”
“The play style, the art style, the fact that every single card is animated, and the literally limitless possibilities for new combos and strategies that you create yourself.”
“The game is fun, it doesn't seem grindy, and the most important thing in my opinion, it has a breathtaking art style and amazing card effects.”
“Slow, awkward controls, not a lot of graphical feedback when playing spells (leading to 'Did I play that? What did I just target?'), and the need to click each battle result away is just awkward.”

The story in Infinity Wars is praised for being engaging and superior to other card games like Hearthstone, providing a compelling narrative alongside its competitive gameplay. However, some players feel that the developers have focused too much on reworking the already satisfactory story mode and making minor UI changes, rather than expanding the content. Overall, the story is seen as a strong point of the game, but there are calls for improvements in gameplay mechanics related to the campaign missions.
“Infinity Wars is a great game. I've always loved card games, but none of the online ones that I have played have had a great story mode to follow as well as a fun competitive atmosphere like Infinity Wars does.”
“This game is very fun; the story is very interesting and much better than Hearthstone.”
“Despite this, it seems like the devs were more interested in reworking the story mode (which was fine the way it was), making minor UI changes, and shoving out a grand total of one deck over the years.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as exploitative, with users expressing dissatisfaction over perceived cash-grabbing tactics. Despite promises from the developers to improve visibility through advertising, players report a lack of promotional efforts, leading to concerns about the game's future viability.
“I wouldn't recommend this game or support their cash grabbing ways.”
“The developers promised to fix the issues by advertising the game to attract more players, but I haven't seen any ads whatsoever, so the game is probably going to stay dead at this point.”
