The game features a cool concept and executes it well, providing a fun experience for a short play session.
The overall color palette and UI art are above average, especially considering it's a free game.
There is good variety in the cards, and the idea of 'Hero' cards and reappearing minions adds an interesting strategic element.

The game suffers from a lack of depth and clarity, with many mechanics and keywords introduced without proper tutorials.
Animations are slow and cannot be sped up, which detracts from the overall gameplay experience.
There are thematic inconsistencies and minor GUI errors that affect usability, such as unclear unit roles and poor text visibility.

- “There are too many mechanics introduced at once without proper explanation, which makes it frustrating to learn the game.”
