    The gameplay of this card game is characterized by its innovative mechanics and unique cinematic theme, offering a blend of complexity and engaging strategies that set it apart from traditional TCG/CCG games. While players appreciate the diverse classes and smooth card interactions, some find the multitude of mechanics overwhelming and the pace slower than expected. Overall, the game presents a promising experience with a steep learning curve, but a supportive community helps players navigate its intricacies.

  • graphics14 mentions

    The game's graphics feature a consistent and engaging art style that blends cutesy and colorful elements with themes from various film genres, enhancing its humorous tone. While many players appreciate the impressive artwork and its alignment with the game's comedic aspects, some have noted issues with placeholder art and a lack of graphic options, leading to mixed feelings about the overall visual experience.

    • “You will have fun discovering this game—some of the devs are comedians by trade and the game itself is humorous, as well as having a consistent art style despite spanning film genres from dark & gritty mystery/horror to light & airy adventure/comedy.”
    • “It stands out for its engaging gameplay, smart comments, and impressive art style.”
    • “The funny art style supporting the movie theme.”
    • “The graphics are okay, the sounds a little wonky - the tutorial for some reason had a whole bunch of voice acted stuff that was way quieter than the background music, despite the background music being set to about half and the voice acting set to 100% in the options - but acceptable.”
    • “I also have trouble believing real humans who would've thought about all of that would 'forget' about the settings tab, which is extremely basic with pretty much no graphic options, neither for the cards animation speed that's definitely too slow.”
    • “Some art's still a placeholder, but from what I've seen since the playtest, they’re regularly replaced with new artwork from their artists.”
  • humor9 mentions

    The game's humor is characterized by its clever movie references, irreverent parodies, and contributions from comedian developers, creating a blend of entertaining and whimsical content. While some players find the humor genuinely funny and appreciate the artistic style, others feel that the jokes can be hit-or-miss and often lack coherence with the cinematic theme. Overall, the humor adds a unique charm to the gameplay, despite some criticisms regarding its relevance and execution.

  • story8 mentions

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing disappointment over the lack of engaging PvE missions and narrative depth, particularly given its movie-themed premise. While some enjoy the character-driven gameplay and the ability to earn in-game currency through missions, others find the focus on PvP grinding and the absence of a compelling storyline to be significant missed opportunities. Additionally, technical issues, such as crashes during tutorial missions, have further detracted from the overall experience.

    • “I thought it would be like a building block concept to combine a plot with characters and effects to end up with a movie.”
    • “The game has you focus on completing a lead character's story by playing cards from your deck, creating combos with your tropes and overall just having a fun time!”
    • “Despite the fact that it's all about faux movies, the lack of PvE story missions and other fun activities besides the standard PvP grind is one hell of a missed opportunity.”
    • “Update: even after reinstalling the game, it keeps crashing in story mode.”
    • “Game crashed on the 3rd tutorial mission.”
    • “[i] stuck in the 2nd tutorial mission for 100,500 turns because I didn't have taunt and my enemy was killing the lead every turn.”
  • stability3 mentions

    The game "Screenplay" has been noted for its stability issues, including bugs, lags, and glitches, particularly on release day, which may have been related to server problems. Additionally, the game is described as slow, with the tutorial occasionally performing actions for players, contributing to a less than smooth experience.

    • “The game is a mildly buggy collective card game that has some unique aspects.”
    • “It's buggy and slow, and the tutorial sometimes does things for you, which can be frustrating.”
    • “There were some lags and glitches on release day, likely due to server issues.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game appears to be underwhelming, as it relies heavily on word-of-mouth rather than effective advertising, despite the promising gameplay and artistic direction from a new studio.

  • optimization2 mentions

    The optimization aspect of the game is noted for its unique mechanics, requiring players to strategically manage their leads and performance against opponents. The attack-dodge-performance system adds a distinct layer of complexity, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

    • “That's right, you have to get 2 out of your 3 leads to make a successful performance before your opponent does.”
    • “The attack-dodge-performance mechanic they’ve implemented is truly something different.”
    • “The optimization in this game is severely lacking, making it frustrating to achieve the desired performance.”
    • “I often find myself struggling with the optimization mechanics, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “The game's optimization feels rushed, leading to inconsistent performance and a lack of polish.”
  • music2 mentions

    The music in the game is generally considered acceptable, but there are notable issues with sound balance, particularly during the tutorial where voice acting is significantly quieter than the background music, despite settings being adjusted. Overall, while the music itself is not heavily criticized, the audio mixing detracts from the experience.

    • “The tutorial had a whole bunch of voice acted content that was way quieter than the background music, despite the background music being set to about half and the voice acting set to 100% in the options.”
    • “The sounds are a little wonky, making it difficult to enjoy the overall experience.”
    • “The music is not well balanced with the voice acting, leading to a frustrating experience during the tutorial.”
  • replayability1 mentions

    Comico Games has successfully revitalized the collectible card game format by innovating two fundamental elements, resulting in a product that feels fresh and offers endless replayability.

    • “Comico Games has taken a tried-and-true CCG format and reinvented two core pillars, which makes their product feel fresh and infinitely replayable.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the card acquisition process tedious, requiring significant effort (e.g., 10 ranked wins for a single booster pack). However, the limited core strategies and common mechanics allow for a good synergy among many cards, which can mitigate some of the grinding frustration.

    • “Obtaining cards is tedious, requiring ten ranked wins for just one 7-card booster. With only a few core strategies like kill, attack, dodge, and 'dance', along with common mechanics like stars and mana, many cards end up synergizing with most of these.”
    • “The grinding for cards feels excessive, as it takes a significant amount of time and effort to unlock new content, which can be frustrating.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding for resources makes the game feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
