The gameplay is marred by poor mechanics and subpar AI, leading to a seemingly random selection of winners, which detracts from the overall experience. While some users find the gameplay acceptable otherwise, the lack of adjustment options for AI performance is a significant drawback.
“Terrible mechanics and AI in the game. The game picks early on the winner seems to be randomized, but that player with AI is terrible for gameplay and there's no way to adjust. Hopefully, it will pick up in future games.”
