Gameplay is characterized by solid and balanced mechanics that encourage strategic depth, particularly in team and deck building, which offers players various approaches to victory. While the core gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, some players find it lacks complexity outside of the main mechanics, with limited card options and simplistic encounters detracting from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, fans of roguelike card battlers may still find it appealing due to its unique mechanics and potential for experimentation.
