The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics and engaging combo emphasis, which may require some initial adjustment for new players. While it retains the core elements of the original Sentinels game, the new decks are noted for their improved design and overall quality. Players who enjoy the Sentinels gameplay will find this expansion a worthwhile addition, especially at its reasonable price point.
“Well, the gameplay is good; it's certainly more sentinels, though in comparison to the base game heroes, most of these ones put a greater emphasis on combos rather than setup, and they, on average, seem to be just a little bit better than the ones in the base game.”
“Honestly - if you enjoy sentinels gameplay, this is an easy pickup and easily justified at the €15 price point it launched at.”
“The gameplay can be a bit much at first, so you might need a few matches to get used to it.”
“Identical gameplay to Sentinels, but the deck designers seem more mature in their design goals with these decks.”

The graphics have received mixed feedback, with some players noting aesthetic clashes between the new artwork and the original design, particularly due to its tabletop RPG roots. However, there are minor improvements in text readability, such as reduced overlap with artwork and highlighted keywords, which enhance the overall visual experience without impacting gameplay.
“There are some minor improvements like the card text overlapping less with the artwork or keywords in the game text being highlighted to make them easier to read quickly.”
“The artwork causes a bit of a clash with the original sentinels, but that's more of an IP thing as SoEP is based off a TTRPG.”
