  • Limited card pool and game content leading to repetitive gameplay and lack of variety in strategies.
  • Balance issues and P2W elements especially in PvP, where opponents often have stronger upgraded cards causing frustration.

  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    The game's graphics feature a charming art style that users appreciate for its aesthetic appeal and depth, though the overall presentation is simple and lacks advanced features or high detail. While visually basic, the graphics effectively support the gameplay, but some users feel that higher-quality visuals could enhance engagement with the characters.

  • grinding

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 71% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game, especially in the Mictlan mini-game, is often seen as tedious and time-consuming, with players feeling stuck due to slow progression and a repetitive maze-like design. While resource farming and collection improvement are appreciated, the heavy grinding can lead to boredom and frustration, particularly for free-to-play users. Players suggest redesigning Mictlan into a more engaging, branching path format to reduce the grind and enhance the adventure feel.

    • “Great game, but quite grindy to collect and improve your collection.”
    • “Can you make Mictlan not a maze? Please make it a gauntlet or branching adventure where you pick a path to take. The maze consumes too much time and causes boredom due to excessive grinding in Mictlan.”
    • “I was stuck on the same mission for like a month. The NPC cards dealt too much damage and had too much HP, and grinding level up on cards is RNG and slow for free-to-play players.”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The story mode is criticized for being repetitive and lacking interactivity, which diminishes its appeal compared to other game modes. Additionally, some players find progression slow and frustrating due to difficult missions and RNG-based upgrades, especially for free-to-play users.

    • “I would like it if there was a more interactive story mode or campaign, as it just feels like repeating the same thing: fight an enemy and move on to the chest. Eventually, I don't find it as enjoyable despite the rewards, since it isn't as interesting as other game modes.”
    • “Update: I was stuck on the same mission for about a month because the NPC cards dealt too much damage and had too much HP. Grinding to level up cards is RNG-based and very slow for free-to-play players.”
