Gameplay reviews highlight a reliance on grindy mechanics reminiscent of pay-to-win mobile games, with a lack of depth due to limited card types and combat mechanics. While some players appreciate the art style and design, many express disappointment over the small maps and the absence of turn-based elements, hoping for future updates to enhance gameplay variety and complexity.
“I was helped that I played the Brass Tactics demo before, so the mechanics are similar.”
“From art style to varied gameplay and the war room design.”
“Like any emulation of pay-to-win mobile mechanics, it feels like a humongous grind to do anything in it.”
“The maps are too small, the gameplay does not appear to be very deep (hopefully they will be adding more cards), and the chunky art style is not appealing to me (too childish).”
