  • gameplay
    118 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its strategic depth and unique mechanics reminiscent of Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering. However, some users express concerns about balance issues, repetitive mechanics, and the introduction of new features that can disrupt the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, the game is noted for its engaging and fun gameplay, appealing artwork, and a free-to-play model that avoids pay-to-win mechanics.

    • “Gameplay has enough similarities to other CCGs to feel comfortable yet innovates enough to set itself apart.”
    • “Amazing gameplay, very strategic, gets the brain working.”
    • “Fun and engaging gameplay, easy to learn and it ramps up as you go so stalemates are not an issue.”
    • “Every expansion patch adds a new mechanic that will be forgotten about next patch and frequently breaks other mechanics.”
    • “Used to be great but has become a lot less fun of late; some cards are just highly unfair. The hanging-on-the-edge games are gone; you either just win or lose mostly now. Strategy and luck have gone, and it's become quite mechanical and boring.”
    • “The new mechanics in the latest update have ruined the core gameplay so severely it is unwinnable unless you spend cash.”
  • graphics
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, particularly for the beautiful artwork on the cards and the detailed World War II aesthetic, which enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the historical accuracy and the pleasing audio that complements the visuals, making the game visually engaging and immersive. However, some users noted performance issues on older devices and expressed a desire for more graphic settings to accommodate different hardware capabilities.

    • “The artwork for the cards is what drew me in, but the game has been pretty fun and opening new packs of cards is also very satisfying.”
    • “Great artwork and easy access to historic facts about the units and events of World War II make this game a diamond in the rough.”
    • “The artwork is phenomenal.”
    • “Too much on the graphics that nobody cares about.”
    • “I had to uninstall this game because it was too slow even with high FPS and really low graphics settings.”
    • “Good gameplay and fun playing around with decks; however, the performance is poor on old phones, so it would be nice to turn off 3D graphics.”
  • monetization
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the absence of ads and the option to enjoy the game without mandatory in-game purchases. However, there are concerns about the high costs of microtransactions and the slow progression that may pressure players into spending money. Overall, while the game is not considered pay-to-win, the aggressive pricing of in-game items has drawn criticism.

    • “Very much worth paying for in-game purchase options while providing a platform that does not require payment to be enjoyed.”
    • “There are no ads and minimum pay to win.”
    • “Great to play long term without the need of in-game purchases.”
    • “Just like every other cash grab out there, the game relies on paying to get gems that have to be used for cards that are actually competitive.”
    • “Too many in-game purchases at a silly cost.”
    • “The monetization ruins this game.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality and ability to enhance the overall experience, particularly with its nostalgic World War II themes. Many players appreciate the soundtrack's fittingness to the game's aesthetic and mechanics, although some express a desire for a larger variety of tracks and louder volume. Overall, the music significantly contributes to the game's enjoyment and atmosphere.

    • “The music and vibe is on point.”
    • “Excellent historical profiles on cards, smooth gameplay, gorgeous artwork, excellent sound effects and music, and very easy to comprehend and well-developed game mechanics.”
    • “The music changing for which faction you play sealed this game for me; it's an excellent game.”
    • “The sole complaint would be that animations are lacking, but the art and soundtrack make up for this in a big way.”
    • “And another huge thing to me is the nostalgia of the old-time WWII music and sound effects makes the game so enjoyable.”
    • “Couple little software issues (stalling etc.) but otherwise very fun, well thought out, and love the athletics and music!”
  • optimization
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over performance issues, particularly on older devices. While some users appreciate the gameplay and art style, they consistently call for improvements to reduce lag and enhance stability. The general consensus is that the game has potential but requires significant optimization to meet player expectations.

    • “The diversity between the cards, the beautiful art style, and the mix between strategy and RNG makes a peak-performance game that should be tried by everyone.”
    • “Great port of a great game, so far no performance issues; probably only complaint is that sometimes when you try to select a card, it's a little finicky, instead of selecting the card it just makes the card bigger, but I believe this will get better over time.”
    • “Just lacks a bit of performance; otherwise, pretty good game.”
    • “On PC, this game took time to iron out bugs and performance; looks like the same is needed here.”
    • “Great game, bad optimization: too laggy...”
    • “Good gameplay and fun playing around with decks; however, the performance is poor on (old) phones, so it would be nice to turn off 3D graphics.”
  • grinding
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and slow, with many players feeling that it heavily favors pay-to-win mechanics. Earning in-game currency through grinding is nearly impossible, leading to frustration, especially for free-to-play users who struggle against opponents with superior decks. Overall, while the game has potential, the grind required to progress and the poor balance in matchmaking detract significantly from the experience.

    • “The grinding in this game strikes a perfect balance; it's engaging without feeling overwhelming.”
    • “I appreciate that the grind is rewarding and not just a mindless task.”
    • “The grind feels meaningful, as it contributes to my character's growth and progression.”
    • “Getting new cards absolutely sucks and is incredibly slow and grindy.”
    • “It's pay to win with zero chance of earning the main in-game currency by grinding.”
    • “If you're F2P or a new player, don't even think of achieving anything in this game. At the lowest ranks, people will run over you with endless elite cards. Daily missions can easily take up to an hour, and the rewards are so ridiculous that you can barely get 20% of an expansion before the next one hits and kicks out the good cards you collected before. Drop rates for elites are so low, you might see 1-2 per month max, except for grinding 24/7.”
  • stability
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly after recent updates. While it runs well on mobile devices without lag, many players experience issues with the deck builder and in-app purchases, leading to frustration. Overall, despite its fun gameplay, the persistent stability problems detract from the overall experience.

    • “It runs great on Android and iOS.”
    • “The game maintains a smooth performance without any crashes.”
    • “I've experienced consistent stability throughout my gameplay sessions.”
    • “This is a fun game, but it tends to be extremely buggy and unfair most of the time.”
    • “The port to mobile is okay at best, full of glitches, but the last update really destroyed all I have built during almost 3 years: I can't play with any of my decks because they have banned cards.”
    • “I love this game but the crashes are very annoying; the game freezes and crashes. Fix that and it would be 5 stars.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its frustrating mission design, particularly in the Japanese campaign, where players find certain missions nearly impossible to complete. Users express dissatisfaction with the game's progression system, feeling that the rewards for completing missions are inadequate and that the game heavily favors players who invest money, leading to a sense of futility for free-to-play users. Overall, while there are some enjoyable elements, the narrative experience is marred by a lack of balance and fairness in gameplay.

    • “If you're free-to-play or a new player, don't even think of achieving anything in this game; at the lowest ranks, people will run over you with endless elite cards.”
    • “Decent so far, would like it if the free stuff was a tad bit more generous, like more missions to earn currency.”
    • “They literally make it so you can't win on one of the planned campaign missions.”
    • “If you're free-to-play or a new player, don't even think of achieving anything in this game. At the lowest ranks, people will run over you with endless elite cards. Daily missions can easily take up to an hour, and the rewards are so ridiculous that you can barely get 20% of an expansion before the next one hits and kicks out the good cards you collected before. Drop rates for elites are so low, you might see 1-2 per month max, except for grinding 24/7.”
    • “The second mission for the Japanese campaign is comically impossible, despite the fact that in every other game mode I'm crushing it.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Gameplay is fun and addictive, and sometimes hilarious too!”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere effectively immerses players in a 1940s card game setting, enhancing the nostalgic experience, while also providing the option to mute disruptive players for a more enjoyable gameplay.

    • “The atmosphere is designed to feel like you're actually playing a card game in the 1940s.”
    • “The immersive sound design and visuals create a captivating environment that draws you into the game.”
    • “Every detail contributes to a rich atmosphere that enhances the overall gaming experience.”
    • “The atmosphere is designed to feel like you're actually playing a card game in the 1940s, but it often feels more like a gimmick than an immersive experience.”

    • “While the visuals are appealing, the overall atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, failing to draw players into the game's world.”
