The story features humorous short dialogues between missions, but suffers from abrupt pacing and awkward, translation-like writing that renders many sequences forgettable. While some players find the humor improves over time, the overall narrative experience is marred by a lack of engagement due to uninteresting visuals and formulaic combat.
- “Funny short dialogues between missions, as you deliver pizza to different customers.”
- “Humor progresses as you go in the story; at the beginning it did not 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.”
- “Yet the story is very hurried, dry, and reads like a translation.”
- “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 quickly unlock all combat abilities, leading to a lack of progression. While the game offers a unique take on card mechanics and enjoyable team abilities, it can slow down during turns with inactive cards, and some players find the art and overall engagement lacking.
- “The art and mechanics definitely show a lot of promise for the future capabilities of the developer.”
- “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.”
