The gameplay is a mix of simple mechanics that are easy to learn but challenging to master, offering a strategic depth reminiscent of triple triad. While the implementation of these mechanics in a roguelike format is praised for creating engaging scenarios, some players found the core gameplay uninspired and expressed concerns about unclear tutorial elements and relic card functions. Overall, the game is described as fun and addictive, with a desire to keep playing "one more match."

- “The mechanics are simple enough to learn but difficult to master, which lends well to the strategy aspect of the game.”
- “Really fun take on triple triad's basic gameplay, with a lot of new and novel strategic elements, making this a game in its own class.”
- “I didn't get around to the meta upgrades though - because after sweeping through two maps without any losses, I realized that I wouldn't be able to sustain interest in the core mechanics of the game.”
- “Unfortunately, those positives don't matter because the core gameplay is just a very uninspired puzzle game.”
- “Aside from core mechanics, my only small issue was several relic cards being unclear in exactly how they would function and a couple of mechanics being unclear from the tutorial (such as when hero powers refresh).”
