The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding the ad presence excessive and invasive, particularly for unlocking rewards. While some appreciate the option to pay for ad removal, the high costs of microtransactions and the introduction of multiple currencies have led to perceptions of a predatory cash grab, with concerns about pay-to-win mechanics. Overall, the game's enjoyable gameplay is often overshadowed by its aggressive monetization tactics.
- “Fun gameplay brought down by ridiculous pricing for no ads and season pass.”
- “Really nice gameplay in the first run, but it then reveals a super predatory monetization scheme with five currency types, a rune gacha system, endless menus, on top of having ads!”
- “Extremely predatory monetization bordering on pay to win typical of live service mobile games.”
- “The one bad thing I will say is the fact that you have to watch ads to see some of the actions; I know you have to make money, but a lot of the time it ruins the immersion.”
- “But there are so many ads that you're heavily encouraged to watch that I'd consider the version with ads to be a demo, and buying the ad remover ($13 USD) to be the 'full game.' So is it worth $13?”
- “Extremely predatory monetization bordering on pay-to-win, typical of live service mobile games.”

The gameplay is widely praised for its engaging mechanics, strategic depth, and unique twists on traditional deck-building elements, making it enjoyable for both newcomers and genre veterans. While many players appreciate the aesthetic and variety of cards, some express concerns about the complexity of mechanics and the presence of predatory monetization practices that can detract from the experience. Overall, the game offers a fun and challenging experience, though it may require some time to fully grasp its systems.
- “Just finished the game on the first run and based on that, without any upgrades like runes or snacks, the gameplay was really enjoyable. I saw some inspiration from other deckbuilding games, but it feels like just that—an inspiration and not a rip-off. Playing the base game is already enjoyable.”
- “Well-crafted gameplay system with plenty of fun combos to use.”
- “The gameplay is a really nice spin on the roguelike deck builder genre.”
- “There is also little mechanic explanation aside from the tutorial, which you have to wander the menus to find.”
- “The base game is fine, but it has no respect for the player's time; too many mechanics rely on a randomizer.”
- “The poor translation unfortunately does get in the way of the gameplay, which is too bad since otherwise it's a neat little game!”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some appreciate the strategic depth and variety in deck-building, others feel that the repetitive enemy encounters can lead to boredom over time. Although the game offers optional ads and avoids pay-to-win mechanics, it does require some grinding, particularly in the mid-game, to progress through challenges. Overall, the grinding is seen as manageable and can be enjoyable with the right strategies.
- “Ads are all optional and light; 12 hours in, and it isn't grindy.”
- “No pay to win, no excessive ads, and no grinding at all.”
- “Mainly the enemy encounters in the game are predetermined sets, often in the same order as well (e.g. you find thorn, puyo with pepe, sasaya, dudu or two nanos in any order on the first chapter) which really gets boring after a lot of rounds just grinding when you predictably face the same group of enemies over and over.”
- “It's quite challenging at the beginning, in midway it gets a bit grindy, but there are so many different strategies you can make with decks so it's fun to try to get the perfect decks while you grind through challenges (game mode). I haven't focused on rankings, but there seem to be beatable high scores too.”
- “It's a good game, a lot of planning and grinding.”
