The gameplay is criticized for being simplistic and lacking variety, with a frustrating reliance on random encounters that can lead to repetitive grinding for upgrades. However, some players appreciate the fun factor and the option to increase the challenge.
“The gameplay is fun, and I do like the ability to increase the challenge.”
“The mechanics are engaging and provide a satisfying experience.”
“The variety of gameplay options keeps things fresh and exciting.”
“Bare bones in terms of both content and mechanics.”
“There is no thinning of the deck mechanic, so in addition to the lack of variety, you encounter random challenges where you stand little chance and have to hit a wall, rinse and repeat until you farm enough gems to add that extra +1 to your card.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the 90's synth soundtrack enjoyable initially, but ultimately frustrating due to the inability to adjust volume or preferences. Overall, the music may appeal to some, but its repetitive nature and lack of customization options detract from the experience for others.
“After 15 minutes of the cumbersome controls and clunky 90's synth music, it couldn't win me over.”

Players note that grinding in the game primarily involves upgrading a limited selection of cards for the two available classes, rather than acquiring new cards, which may lead to a repetitive experience.
“At the current time of review, there are two classes to play with, but those classes don't receive new cards; instead, they only upgrade a small selection through grinding.”
“The grinding feels repetitive and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I find myself spending hours grinding for minimal rewards, which really dampens the overall experience.”

Users report significant stability issues, particularly with card gameplay, citing frequent bugs such as missing arrows and inconsistent skill activation, which require multiple attempts to resolve.
“When playing cards of all types, it can be extremely buggy. I often don't get arrows when I should, and I have to work with it a good 4-5 times on skills that are played on my hero.”
“The game crashes frequently during crucial moments, making it frustrating to progress.”
“I've experienced numerous glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as freezing screens and unresponsive controls.”
