The gameplay is characterized by a mix of confusing mechanics that some players find appealing, though many feel it lacks depth and replayability. While the game offers a few characters with distinct playstyles, the limited variety and simplistic nature lead to a quickly monotonous experience, leaving players wanting more for the price. Overall, it presents an intriguing yet ultimately underwhelming gameplay experience.
- “It's interesting, and I think I'd describe it as oddly appealing. I feel like for the price, I should probably be getting a little bit more, or perhaps the mechanics aren't as well developed as I'd like for them to be at the price point. However, I'm enjoying the game, and it's one of those experiences that is more than the sum of its parts, which makes giving it any kind of objective score tricky.”
- “To give you a brief idea of how the gameplay looks:”
- “It has a whole bunch of confusing mechanics which, to be fair, I did eventually figure out.”
- “One boss, few characters with slightly different playstyles and simple gameplay makes the game quickly become boring.”
- “But it lacks any replayability or deep mechanics to hold attention for longer.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of clarity and guidance, particularly regarding the random daily quests that can confuse new players. While the choices presented are unique and sometimes morally ambiguous, they do not significantly impact the overall narrative, leading to a feeling of disconnection between gameplay mechanics and story progression.
- “The cards themselves are unique, unexpected, and sometimes a little awful (in the sense of questioning why I should make my character do that), but there are really some things you must do to survive or at least finish the weekly quest on time.”
- “It's bad design to have it be in the pool of potential daily quests a new player might need to complete in their first five minutes.”
- “These choices are purely cosmetic and don't seem to affect the 'story' whatsoever.”
- “It turns out the 60 seconds timer thing is a random daily quest your character may have to do, on occasion, but it's not explained at all and feels like something you just have to figure out, like all the rest of the game.”

- “Each playthrough feels unique due to the diverse choices and outcomes, making me want to dive back in for more.”
- “The game encourages multiple runs with its branching paths and different character builds, ensuring that no two experiences are the same.”
- “The amount of random actions and effects available offers decent replayability, although some combinations might feel frustrating and need a bit of balancing.”

- “Gets bonus points for humor and a really nice soundtrack!”

- “+ nice music.”
