The gameplay is characterized by familiar deck-building mechanics reminiscent of games like Dominion and Ascension, enhanced by unique features such as an upgrade system for cards and a boss-fighting element. While the core mechanics are solid and provide a fun experience, players note that the gameplay can become repetitive and luck-dependent, and the tutorial lacks clarity, making it challenging for newcomers to grasp all the mechanics. Overall, the game is enjoyable, particularly in a multiplayer setting, but may not warrant a purchase for solo play due to its perceived dryness and limited player engagement.
- “The core gameplay of the card game is fun and the actual mechanics of it make sure the game doesn't get stale.”
- “Makes gameplay unique and interesting while not deviating from the core elements of a deckbuilder too much.”
- “The upgrade mechanic of your starting deck cards makes this play differently, as you normally have choices on your turn.”
- “An entertaining game that is great to try; however, the gameplay is quite repetitive, so while I would recommend playing this game, I don't think I can recommend purchasing it unless you have someone you can play it with.”
- “Players are confused on how to play the game, but not because the game is hard to comprehend; rather, the game's tutorial barely teaches you all the mechanics it offers.”
- “I think the lack of mechanical explanation is likely to be a turn-off for those not already familiar with deck-building games, which is a shame because it seems that the mechanics are actually fairly solid: there's enough variety in the characters that you genuinely have to mix up your strategy each game.”

The story aspect of the game has received criticism for its reliance on daily quests that require significant waiting time, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Players express frustration over bugs and unclear mechanics that hinder progress, leading to a feeling of wasted time. Additionally, the lack of meaningful narrative content and the repetitive nature of quests have left many feeling disappointed with the game's storytelling elements.
- “Completing daily quests helps you earn deck sleeves and access to different cards.”
- “Instead you play for fun and do the quests as each monthly quest will give you a free card to add to the deck.”
- “Relic adventure is by far the best game mode, but you can't even get all of the relic frames.”
- “However, waiting for unlocking missions like in online RPGs is not enjoyable at all.”
- “Quests are only worth doing the first two weeks of any month, seeing as the quests after will eat just as much dust as they reward.”
- “First Rooster Teeth messes up the show, then they give us the Grimm Eclipse garbage with no campaign or story significance, following that is Amity Arena which is basically a carbon copy of other tower killer games with RWBY slapped on top, and now this!”
monetization

The monetization strategy of the game primarily involves cosmetic microtransactions, which are generally accepted by players as non-intrusive and not pay-to-win. However, there is significant concern regarding the game's longevity, as many similar titles have been pulled after a short lifespan, leading to fears that investments in microtransactions may be lost. Overall, while the microtransactions are seen as acceptable, the lack of long-term support raises doubts about the game's viability.
- “All in-game purchases are purely cosmetic.”
- “Gameplay is fun, the art and music are okay, haven't run into any major bug/glitch, microtransactions are fine for a game of this kind.”
- “As for the in-app purchases, it's basically cosmetics and not a pay-to-win mechanic, which means anyone can play and win, and that is what I like.”
- “I don't have a problem with microtransactions, and I don't know how many this game had, so I'll speak for the other games that got taken down. Why pay to support a game that'll get taken down in two years or less?”
- “The reason for this review is that as a RWBY fan, I find it hard when games like this and others with promise come out only to die and be seen as a sellout with microtransactions.”
- “- It's a thinly veiled cash grab.”
stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent graphical glitches, freezing during gameplay, and problems with asset loading. While the core mechanics are enjoyable and the game shows promise, the persistent bugs and glitches detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to fully engage. Many reviewers advise caution before investing time or money due to these stability concerns.
- “This game also suffers from graphical glitches and cards not being displayed correctly.”
- “Launches to 'downloading assets', finishes and freezes.”
- “The Cerberus engine is a great base, and on a gameplay level, it's well thought out - but the game itself is so buggy I can't in good conscience recommend anyone spend money on this, even hardcore fans of the series.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting graphical glitches and poorly displayed cards. While the user interface and visuals are described as slick and clean, others criticize the art style as inconsistent, with some elements appearing rushed and relying on screenshots from the show. Overall, the visuals are seen as a blend of decent character art and disappointing backgrounds, leading to a somewhat underwhelming graphical experience.
- “Just started playing, but so far the UI and visuals seem pretty slick, and there is some innovative stuff regarding deck builder mechanics.”
- “Clean visuals, smooth gameplay, fun mechanics.”
- “Visually, the art style constantly teeters between being good and what I can only call 'rushed.' The UI and the blue grid in the background, in particular, don't look good, and the card art is literally just screenshots from the show, which is disappointing because the character art you can play as looks actually pretty decent.”
- “This game also suffers from graphical glitches and cards not being displayed correctly.”
- “Graphics: meh”
- “(I'm going to get criticized for this, but this also sums up my feelings towards the art style in the game.)”

The game is characterized as grindy, typical of mobile titles, but it offers a unique deck-building experience where players construct their decks dynamically during gameplay rather than grinding for card packs. This approach mitigates some of the traditional grind associated with deck-building games.

- “It's a grindy mobile game that has been ported to Steam.”
