Gameplay reviews highlight a reliance on grind-heavy mechanics reminiscent of pay-to-win mobile games, with a lack of depth due to limited card types and combat mechanics. Players express disappointment over the small map sizes and the absence of turn-based elements, which detracts from the strategic experience they anticipated. There is hope for future updates to introduce more card variety and enhance gameplay depth.
“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.”
“That being said, 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).”
“I also hope they add more card types in the future so there is more depth to the gameplay.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious and reminiscent of pay-to-win mobile mechanics, requiring significant time investment to unlock better cards without any strategic resource management. This leads to a frustrating experience that detracts from the overall depth of the game, making it feel shallower compared to its predecessor.
“Like any emulation of pay-to-win mobile mechanics, it feels like enormous grinding to do anything in it.”
“No strategy to manage resources, just grinding and a frustrating waste of time until maybe one day you unlock it all so you can make a fair strategy.”
“Even if they iterated on Skyworld to make it more grindy, I say it turned out to be a game a lot shallower than the original.”
