  • graphics66 mentions

    • “The art style is outstanding, all characters look great and have that dark/wacky fantasy style fans of Adventure Time know and love.”
    • “Everything has weird delays, the art style tries to be charming but just comes off as kind of grating, a lot of the sound effects are annoying and the optimal winning strategies are all about duping as many tiles as possible, which becomes tedious as you have to dig through your deck for ages to find that last enemy.”
    • “There's just little strategy or intrigue to the game, and the aesthetics are just meh.”
    • “The art style is a bit 'adult swim' for my tastes, but the gameplay is worth it.”

    • “I don't know about the rest of the franchise, but this game doesn't even seem to try to establish a story. It just drops you in front of the game master, who looks like he's about to tell you about the Holocaust, and there you go, fighting monsters with lame puns for names without any interesting lore.”
    • “One major criticism I have is that the game hints at further story that never occurs (until the sequel?).”
    • “There is a semblance of a story and lore, but it's all very surface level.”
