The gameplay of this auto-battler is praised for its unique mechanics that prioritize strategy over luck, offering a fresh take on the genre. Players appreciate the build-your-own traits system and the ability to form alliances based on items, which encourages deep understanding and adaptability. However, some users express disappointment over the lack of multiplayer options and the presence of random mechanics that can affect outcomes. Overall, the game is seen as engaging and has significant potential for growth.
- “This game was a really fun, fresh take on the new auto-battler craze that stripped the bad RNG from its competitors and replaced them with skill-testing mechanics.”
- “The build-your-own traits mechanic was such a fun concept to mess around with and explore.”
- “Very cool auto chess game, different from others in the genre; this one has way less luck factor thanks to some design decisions on the gameplay, making strategy much more valuable than in other games of the genre.”
- “The second complaint is the danger mechanic.”
- “New different mechanics, sometimes random doesn't let you win, but it's kind of normal for every auto-battler.”
- “- too much random mechanics, many traits and items are 5-95% which sucks; for me, it would be better for example 'every 6/5/4 hit apply effect' or '+ 10/20/30 magic dmg' so random will be less.”
