The story features humorous short dialogues between missions, but suffers from abrupt pacing and awkwardly structured sequences that make it feel rushed and forgettable. While some players find the humor improves over time, many feel the overall narrative is dry and overshadowed by repetitive combat, leading to a lack of engagement with the story itself. Despite charming characters, the presentation and gameplay detract from the overall experience, leaving some players uninterested in the narrative.

- “Humor progresses as you go in the story; at the beginning it didn't hit me, but later on it gets better just to hit you with a wrench.”
- “Short simple card game with charming characters and an interesting story.”
- “The story pacing is extremely abrupt, with very rushed translation-esque dialogue that makes most of the story sequences immediately forgettable.”
- “The story is rushed and awkwardly structured; the combat is fine but quickly becomes formulaic, and having the static portraits suspended in space makes combat very uninteresting and unimmersive visually.”

The gameplay features a variety of enemies and combat mechanics that show promise, but players experience a lack of progression as all combat abilities are unlocked at once. While the game offers a unique take on card mechanics and enjoyable team abilities, it can slow down during turns with inactive cards, leading to a less engaging experience overall.

- “I'm enjoying the different abilities I can assign to my team and, though a novice in this type of game, I am really enjoying the gameplay.”
- “All the different enemies and combat mechanics are decently fleshed out, but it seems like players unlock all the combat abilities in one swoop; so there's not really much player-sided progression.”
- “The gameplay itself is quite different from most popular card games you can find, but still enjoyable; although, in my opinion, it slows down a little too much when there are cards that are not played this turn.”
