The game's optimization is primarily focused on card selection during battles, with limited options for deck customization, such as removing cards or acquiring duplicates.

“Although I might've preferred some additional options for deckbuilding (perhaps the ability to remove cards or buy multiples of my favorites), the performances were engaging enough to fully grab my attention.”
“Since the game requires this consistent enemy awareness for your troupe to be most effective, performances (for the vast majority of the game) never become rote for me.”
“Just from an aesthetic standpoint, it stands out among other titles in my Steam library. Not to mention, being able to experiment with optimized decks of cards based on my play style adds a high replay factor.”
“The only choices you have outside of what cards to play during performances (battles) are which of two cards you'd like to pick to add to a performer's deck when they level up.”
