The gameplay of Mythgard is widely praised for its innovative mechanics, particularly the unique "burn" system for resource generation and the strategic lane-based combat, which adds depth and tactical decision-making. Players appreciate the game's blend of familiar CCG elements with fresh twists, resulting in engaging and interactive matches that are easy to learn but challenging to master. Overall, the game is noted for its beautiful artwork, generous free-to-play model, and a strong community, making it a standout in the crowded card game genre.
- “The gameplay is fun once you get there, but there is a lot of upfront cost to learn it.”
- “Mythgard has easily been my best CCG experience, the game is really F2P and mechanically the gameplay is a really rewarding experience if you don't enjoy a lot of RNG in your games.”
- “The gameplay and mechanics are original, deep, and intriguing.”
- “Gameplay felt like a less interactive MTG clone, no new ideas present.”
- “The gameplay is slow and has no interactions, and the collecting system is the same as Hearthstone and Magic!”
- “Gameplay was just meh.”

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its engaging lore and comic book-style presentation, while others criticize it for being clichéd and poorly executed. The story mode serves as both a tutorial and a campaign, offering a decent introduction to the game mechanics, but some players find it too short and lacking depth. Overall, while the art and world-building are praised, the narrative quality varies, leaving some players wanting more from the storytelling aspect.
- “One of the few card games with a good tutorial and expansive story mode with a story you can get invested in.”
- “The application of ancient mythologies into a modern revision of Shadowrun was most unexpected and interesting, along with a decent campaign story presented as an action comic, which was a nice touch.”
- “I loved the story mode, leaving me to wish for more chapters to be released, and I've had a blast playing the PvP with the decks given to you.”
- “The writing and voice acting in the story mode is what really killed it for me...if you're going for a dark and gritty atmosphere, the dialogue shouldn't be delivered like someone voice acting for a G-rated Pixar movie.”
- “The only difference is the type of creature like vampire vs angel, etc. The storyline didn't do anything for me and came across as very cliché.”
- “The world and story is a mush of different genres that could have been innovative but sadly it doesn't mix with each other very well.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While many appreciate the ability to earn cards without spending money and the availability of a core set for new players, others criticize the grind as tedious and poorly implemented, particularly in faction missions and PvP matchmaking.

- “Game is pay to win with very hard and boring grinding.”
- “Unfortunately, it is also super grindy and very stingy with the player rewards.”

The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its fair and generous free-to-play structure that avoids aggressive cash grabs, while others criticize it for being overly reliant on microtransactions and creating a grind that favors paying players. Some users noted that the game offers plenty of rewards for casual players, but concerns about the long-term sustainability and player retention due to monetization walls were also raised. Overall, while the monetization is seen as a positive aspect by some, it remains a contentious issue among the player base.

- “The monetization in this game is also extremely fair, and I appreciate the way they structured the game in regards to it.”
- “It also has a really generous free-to-play monetization, so you get lots of free packs just by playing.”
- “The monetization in this game is greedy and paywalled, and that's coming from a long-time Magic: The Gathering player.”
- “This economy model only really rewards the whales of the genre, and because of the stringent nature, will result in less and less players as the beta goes on, as new players will hit the monetization wall very early on.”
- “I read that the grind and monetization wall is extreme; I didn't bother sticking around to find out for myself though, already abandoned enough of those rubbish card game models.”
