The game offers a unique card drafting mechanic that allows players to pick from random cards each turn, making it accessible for newcomers without the need for extensive deck building.
At a low price point, the game provides a fun and quick gaming experience, with solid mechanics and a variety of well-implemented cards.
There are no paywalls or microtransactions, allowing players to enjoy the full game without additional costs, and it supports both local and online multiplayer modes.

The user interface is clunky and uninviting, making it difficult to navigate and understand the game mechanics, which can detract from the overall experience.
The multiplayer community is nearly non-existent, making it hard to find matches, and the single-player mode is too easy, leading to a lack of challenge.
There are frequent glitches and crashes, particularly in multiplayer, which can disrupt gameplay and frustrate players.
