The monetization of the game is praised for being fair and free-to-play friendly, with no ads or paywalls, allowing for uninterrupted gameplay. Players appreciate the well-optimized experience, including minimal loading times and battery efficiency, contributing to an overall enjoyable gaming experience. However, some comparisons to other games suggest that while the monetization is solid, the rules may lack depth.
- “Its monetization is fair, good online and offline modes, and the skills of each card are on-point for various strategies you can come up with.”
- “No ads, free-to-play friendly, well optimized (virtually no loading screens, easy on battery life), and most importantly fun.”
- “Great card game with really fun mechanics and very fair monetization.”
- “Monetization feels similar to Clash Royale, with relatively unengaging and poorly thought-out rules.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and time-consuming, particularly in the Mictlan area, which is criticized for its maze-like structure that detracts from the overall experience. While some enjoy the resource farming and card collection, many express frustration with the slow progression and repetitive nature of grinding, leading to a feeling of boredom and stagnation in gameplay. Overall, the game is praised for its refreshing elements, but the grinding mechanics are seen as a significant drawback.
- “The game is good but a little time-consuming. It would be great if Mictlan were less of a maze and more of a gauntlet, like a branching adventure where you can choose your path. This would make it feel more adventurous and less grindy, as the maze consumes too much time. Overall, the game is refreshing, but the excessive grinding in Mictlan can lead to boredom.”
- “Great game, but quite grindy to collect and improve your collection.”
- “Only downside is the Mictlan mini-game is very tedious and you have to deal more with a bad puzzle map rather than the card games.”
- “Update: I was stuck on the same mission for like a month, the NPC cards dealt too much damage/had too much HP and grinding level up on cards is RNG and slow for free-to-play.”

The game's art style is praised for its charm and depth, enhancing the overall experience, but the graphics are considered simple and lacking in presentation. While the mechanics and gameplay are engaging, a higher graphical quality could further elevate the game's appeal. Overall, the visuals receive mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the artwork while others find it basic.
- “I love the art style and resource gathering mechanics, plus being able to upgrade your cards when a difficult opponent stands between you and reaching the next area.”
- “Also, a bit higher graphics would make it more engaging with the characters.”
- “Love the art style; I can tell the game has deep mechanics.”
- “Lacks presentation, graphics are simple, features and options (i.e., multiplayer, customizations, card details) are basic and lack interaction but is addictive once you spend some time playing.”
- “Being generous with 3 stars for artwork.”
