Players appreciate the depth of character backstories and the intricate lore woven throughout the gameplay, although many express a desire for longer narratives and more content beyond the initial free story.

“The story is a bit difficult to follow, but familiar enough that you understand the broad strokes.”

The gameplay of this mobile game is widely praised for its engaging mechanics, strategic depth, and beautiful art style, drawing comparisons to popular titles like "Slay the Spire." Players appreciate the variety of classes and deck-building options, which contribute to high replayability, although some express frustration over the reliance on luck in certain boss fights and the need for in-game purchases to unlock additional content. Overall, the game offers a satisfying blend of challenge and fun, with a compelling story and minimal intrusive ads.
“The fact that every adventure develops a different deck, hence different gameplay is challenging and fun.”
“The gameplay is smooth and the style is charming.”
“The gameplay is enjoyable, the plot is engaging but doesn't force itself upon you if that's not what you're into and most importantly the only time you get ads is to double the benefits of beating a boss or to resurrect after losing so there's actually a reason for it.”
“The final boss does not feel like it rewards the player for learning the game's mechanics, rather being a luck-based fight that rewards endlessly resetting it until luck favors you.”
“However after playing, it seems the developers did not bother to make improvements to gameplay as you advance.”
“Gameplay is too messy and unintuitive, which makes strategizing troublesome.”

The monetization model of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for bonuses, while others express frustration over the introduction of ads after purchasing the game. Although in-app purchases for additional content are generally seen as fairly priced, some players feel that the recent updates have made ads more prevalent and essential for gameplay, undermining the experience for those who have already paid for the game. Overall, while the game offers a solid experience with optional ads and reasonable monetization, the shift towards more ads has disappointed some long-time players.
“No forced in-app purchases, and no adverts that are not voluntary - you don't need the rewards given to be able to finish the game.”
“The in-app purchases are expansions that add additional story characters and deck building strategies.”
“The monetization is fair and worthwhile.”
“I paid full price for this game, and now with the update they have added ads.”
“I really love this game at first which is why I even went as far as buying the full set DLC early on but now you backstab your customer by adding the extra payment to prevent ads?”
“Great game until advertisements were added.”
