    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, while the music is pleasant, there is a desire for more dynamic and varied compositions to match the gameplay.

    • “The music is chill, the artworks are nice.”
    • “Music and art style are quite nice.”
    • “The game needs more to do, but for a game that released 3 days ago, it's a relatively nice and small game to just pass a few hours by, and aside from content, it needs more music variation.”
    • “The game needs more to do, but for a game that released 3 days ago, it's a relatively nice and small game to just pass a few hours by. Aside from content, it needs more music variation.”
    • “The music for when you enter a fight, discover an altar, beat a boss, or obtain a lore scroll doesn't have to be over the top; just something different from the game's idle music would be nice.”

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is significantly hampered by numerous bugs, including erratic card behavior and instances of accidental softlocks, which can render it unplayable at times. While players appreciate the developers' responsiveness to feedback, the persistent issues detract from the overall experience.

    • “Unfortunately it's so buggy that it's legitimately unplayable.”
    • “Instead, the cards behave in strange, buggy ways--for example if there is an enemy near the bottom of the table and you drag units on to attack it, since attackers are programmed to only appear under the enemy, but that would put them off of the playing area, the game doesn't know what to do and everything starts looking weird.”
    • “The cards themselves are buggy too, sometimes you can't put your units onto enemy cards.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally regarded as fun and addictive, offering a mix of relaxing and intense experiences. However, players find the card stacking and placement mechanics tedious, suggesting a need for improved controls, such as better drag-and-select options. Overall, the core concept is well-received, with anticipation for future updates and DLC.

    • “Haven't played much, just enough to beat the first boss and explore the gameplay, but it's good so far.”
    • “Fun and kind of both relaxing and intense gameplay, will wait for new updates and supporter DLC!”
    • “The core concept and the gameplay is good enough and addictive.”

  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is considered interesting but ultimately lacks depth and development, leaving players wanting more. While the game is enjoyable and offers good value for a free title, it is completed quickly, highlighting the need for a more expansive narrative.

    • “Finished it in an hour, not bad for a free game. I had fun, but it felt a bit lackluster; the story was a little interesting for how little there was.”
    • “Finished it in an hour, not bad for a free game, had fun but it felt very lackluster; the story was a little bit interesting for how little there was.”
    • “Could definitely be improved with further story and possibly more of an expansion to automation.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has limited replayability, primarily appealing to players interested in speedrunning rather than offering diverse experiences for multiple playthroughs.

    • “I don't really think there's much replayability unless you're trying to speedrun.”
    • “The game lacks variety, making it hard to justify multiple playthroughs.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of stacking and placing cards to be tedious, highlighting a need for improved controls such as drag-and-select functionality. Despite this frustration, the core gameplay remains engaging and addictive.

    • “Stacking and placing cards orderly becomes tedious, so it needs better control like dragging and selecting multiple cards. However, the core concept and gameplay are good enough and addictive.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is noted as "kinda hilarious," particularly due to the accidental free release, which adds a comedic twist to the situation. However, despite the amusing circumstances, reviewers caution against playing the game in its current state, regardless of its price.

  • optimization
