    The gameplay is characterized by strategic, card-based mechanics that can be both fun and challenging, though some players find the pacing and combo mechanics confusing, especially for newcomers. While the game features familiar elements from other titles in the genre, it offers a unique experience with its touhoudex system and appealing art. However, early gameplay can be hindered by the potential loss of valuable cards, making progression feel slow or frustrating.

    • “I have always enjoyed strategic card games, and I've played at least one other game with a similar combat system as Nyanco Card before, so I guess I can say that I'm no stranger to the gameplay.”
    • “The Touhoudex is a brilliant part of the gameplay as well.”
    • “+ fun, strategic and challenging, card-based gameplay that may not be unique but is still fun nonetheless.”
    • “It has something to do with where numbers add up to another to consistently flip others to your side, but due to how paced the gameplay is, it's rather confusing to know what may work or not.”
    • “During the beginning of the game, this mechanic is especially problematic, because you may lose all of your worthwhile cards, making advancement nearly impossible (or slow and tedious).”
    • “Rather, players should be eased into the mechanics of a game, through beginner-friendly combat and creative hand-holding.”

    • “I know nothing of Touhou or Nyanco; I just like Triple Triad, so the story seems to rely heavily on knowledge of these subjects.”
