The gameplay is a mix of creative card design and strategic combat, likened to a complex version of rock-paper-scissors, which some players find confusing at first but enjoyable once understood. While the card creation aspect is praised for its artistic potential, the combat mechanics are seen as a weak point, with suggestions for improvement. Overall, the game offers fun and simple mechanics, though it has some issues with clarity and balance.
- “Incredible gameplay.”
- “So much fun, even if making good looking cards is difficult the gameplay is fun and simple.”
- “The gameplay itself is very simple; it's basically glorified rock-paper-scissors in a card game, with each card having a species, element, means, and size that determine matchups.”
- “With the recent roadmap released, I look forward to seeing the new content, although I think locking infinite re-rolls behind a paywall is bad from a gameplay design.”
- “Overall, it is a good game, but it can be bad at times, as some of the game mechanics are a little dumb and the game is prone to softlocking itself.”
- “The gameplay itself is very simple; it's basically glorified rock-paper-scissors in a card game. Each card has a species, element, means, and size, each of these beats others when matched up and loses to others when matched up, so you roll 4 different matchups each combat.”

The game allows players to enhance their custom cards with unique music and lore, adding a creative layer to gameplay.

- “(You can attach MP3 files to cards and give them boss music.)”
- “There's a feature where you can give your cards music, but the in-game music is usually much louder, making the change feel jarring most of the time.”
- “Also, I wish I could hear my friend's music that they add onto their card so we both get the same experience.”
- “Make your own cards and see Dark King Gruthmore's Blade of Annihilation be utterly destroyed by a telegraph pole, so in retaliation you have to pull out the Sanic card that plays its own crunchy theme song to deafen your opponents with psychological attacks.”
