Overall, the game appears to suffer from significant stability issues that detract from the overall experience.

    • “It freezes after every 'victory' screen that pops up and I have to close it and reopen.”
    • “Crashes a lot; it pauses any turns mid-battle, and even though I can tap on surrender or hold on to cards, nothing moves or ends the turn. The interface with Kongregate login is really buggy as well; either the game was rushed or just has money-driven incapable developers.”
    • “Keeps getting disconnected or freezes.”

The comedic element is further enhanced by amusing visuals, contributing to a lighthearted atmosphere despite the potential frustration of being outclassed.

    • “The numbers on the high-end cards are so hilariously mismatched with the beginner ones that you wouldn't believe they are from the same game. It's not uncommon to get so outclassed that there's literally nothing you could do to put up a fight through deckbuilding or in-game decisions.”
