The gameplay of this game is characterized by a mix of tactical mechanics and card-based strategies, offering a unique experience that combines elements from various genres. While many players appreciate the depth and potential of the mechanics, some criticize the heavy reliance on dialogue and the simplistic nature of certain combat choices. Overall, the game is seen as enjoyable and challenging, though it may require further refinement and additional content to fully realize its potential.
- “Played the game for the last 2 days and I find the concept interesting and the gameplay is pretty fun and tense.”
- “The gameplay is very unique, an interesting mix of D&D and a card game, but yet not a clone of either.”
- “I quite enjoyed the game mechanics, character abilities, combat strategy, etc. The 'tick' mechanic is quite clever, and a refreshing change from the typical mana mechanic of most card games.”
- “99% dialogue, 1% gameplay.”
- “In its current state, you are still choosing between an attack for 4 damage or a slower attack for 6 damage, mechanically, arguably on par with Battletech TCG (1996), which was a much more fun game than this.”
- “Gameplay seems at this time just to be single matches, no story mode or missions.”

The game's story is described as engaging but limited, primarily relying on fantasy tropes and a short tutorial that introduces players to its mechanics. Players express frustration with the lack of depth and variety in the narrative, as quests are randomly generated and quickly become repetitive, leaving little to explore beyond basic battles. Overall, while some find the story enjoyable enough to keep them interested, many feel it lacks substantial content and progression after the initial stages.
- “Up until the labyrinth, you've been continuously given small rewards by progressing the story.”
- “Story – fantasy tropes are used and covered, but nothing here to hate, and I found myself engaged enough to want to know more.”
- “Explore the zone via a map, enter arena grid-based battles, get loot, buy more stuff, and progressively face harder, better-geared enemies whilst advancing the story.”
- “The quests are randomly generated, so you'll start to repeat them soon and it can be annoying for many players.”
- “Cannot recommend this game in its current state; nothing to do after the short story/tutorial except for random boss battles where you can get 10g for a win, but most of the time they are very unbalanced.”
- “I like the game, but I think it needs some work; for one, there is no storyline as far as I can tell, no missions, no quests, just single 'raids', and while they are fun, it feels like I'm fighting for nothing.”

- “Playing for a few hours doing the same thing can really feel grindy.”
- “As it is, it gets a little repetitive, and grinding is one of the key elements, as is the case with most of these online strategy games.”

The optimization of the game is noted for its strategic design, where bosses possess no base attack and a smaller hand size than heroes, enhancing AI performance and increasing the likelihood of effective boss combos.

Players note that while the game features microtransactions, they feel that these are beneficial for an early access title. However, there is a sentiment that effective deck customization can significantly enhance gameplay, making it easier to succeed in raids without relying heavily on the starter deck.

- “Good for an early access game, but if you can actually find where to customize your raid deck and build the most optimal deck (buffing the rogue and one-shotting bosses while controlling adds with warrior and mage), the raids become much easier than using the starter deck they give you.”
