Overall, the narrative feels inconclusive and serves more as a backdrop to gameplay rather than a driving force.

- “The art, animation, music, and thematic design of the game are all fantastic, although it would be nice if the game built up more of a story or lore somehow.”
- “There is no story, only several different zones in a world map that you’ll visit at random until you reach the final level and fight the final boss.”
- “The story is about as nonexistent as you expect from a typical roguelike, but it also has a cliffhanger; maybe the game will be updated, but don't count on 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, and there you go, fighting monsters with lame puns for names without any interesting lore.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, as it often involves sifting through a deck for specific cards, which can lead to frustration. While the achievements are considered easy, they require a significant time investment, making the overall experience feel grindy. Despite this, some players appreciate the game's simplicity and quicker pace compared to more complex titles.
- “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.”
- “Achievements' difficulty: easy, but grindy.”
- “This is a great simple card game for someone looking for a quicker, less brain-grinding experience.”

- “Really awesome gem with a ton of depth; the art, music, atmosphere, and narration are superb and get me almost as excited to boot it up as the excellent combat mechanics, which start off simple on the surface but quickly grow in complexity to incorporate random passive perks, equipment, and context relative to nearby items or enemies.”

The game is contentless (procedurally generated only) 2D mobile app card game/deckbuilder/Slay the Spire ripoff with a quirky old-man theme as you build/upgrade your deck and play through card battles.”
