The gameplay is widely praised for its solid mechanics, addictive nature, and originality, making it stand out among card games on Steam.

Overall, the game offers great value and a rewarding experience, encouraging continued development and expansion.
- “This game is truly amazing, fun, addictive, and original. Great mechanics! Please, developers, continue the good work and add more cards and modes. This game is the best card game on Steam for me, and I play a lot of TCGs here. This game is special; please continue working on this precious gem!”
- “An even playfield card game is pretty rare nowadays, and this has very excellent gameplay.”
- “Objectively, what was produced in terms of gameplay is surprisingly good.”
- “It's just a cheap clone of Hearthstone, or rather just the discover mechanic.”
- “In Pickahero, despite the easy-to-get-into mechanics, I'm making just as many actual decisions per 8-minute game.”
- “Good feedback is opposed to bad feedback like 'I guess I lose because I didn't draw enough land.' Lots of good feedback will give you that bubbly excited feeling as you learn the depth the mechanics have to offer.”
